It’s Time for School Sports Physicals!

Dear Parents,

It’s time again for School Sports Physicals but there is something you should be aware of.  There is an epidemic in this country affecting Middle School and High School athletes.  It is rarely talked about but you see the effects of it every time a new sports season begins.  It is not a virus, bacteria or fungus.  It does not discriminate between girls or boys.  It affects athletes from all sports regardless of physical demand or intensity and the results of this epidemic can follow a person for the rest of his life.

The epidemic is Sports Injuries.  The cause is faulty structural biomechanics and is what causes us to grow older suffering with the “football knee”, “trick elbow” and “creaky shoulders.”   The reason it is an epidemic is that the cause of these problems are not being detected in the school sports physicals. There are special programs available to the elite professional athlete that detects the circumstances that can lead to injuries and when they are, professional sports teams are able to protect their investment by preventing the injury before it occurs.

Today’s modern medical technology has very little to offer until the injury has been sustained.  At that point, our medical technology is top in the world at repairing torn ligaments, cartilage, ruptured muscles and discs.  The problem is that you have to get injured to benefit from the technology. 

There is a new movement in this country that is taking this information where it is needed most: The local Middle School and High School.

This void in health care and sports medicine has been identified and rectified.  There is a new system of predicting who is at risk for a sports injury developed out of a desire to protect our kids from unnecessary knee injuries, shin splints, ankle sprains and muscle pulls.

Since portions of this system are required for the highest paid professional athletes in order for them to even begin a weighted workout, isn’t it about time we offer the same protection for our kids?

This program looks at the human frame as an architectural structure.  If there is imbalance in the structure it breaks down prematurely.  Add the stress of athletic activity and you have all the ingredients necessary for an injury.

The Structural Management Program™ featuring the Structural Fingerprint Exam™ is designed to detect, correct and support the architectural imbalances of the body.  The result is improved balance, muscle flexibility and joint mobility which also translates into improved athletic performance and reduced injuries. 

“When I first started in the Structural Management Program™, I was unable to run track because of severe calf cramps and hip pain that developed during my senior football season.  Within a couple of weeks I was able to start training and by the end of 8 weeks, I was competing in the State Track Meet.  I continued using

the system during my first year of college football and track and it has helped me continue to improve my performance but most of all, I have been injury free this year.  This system makes total sense.

I played club level volleyball and basketball during junior and senior high and was constantly spraining my ankle.  The Structural Management Program™ identified what was causing this recurrent problem and now I have just finished my senior year and did not have one ankle sprain and I don’t even have to wear ankle supports anymore.  I am now going to college on a Volleyball scholarship because I was able to perform at my potential because I wasn’t injured this year.

If avoiding a season ending injury is important to you, and you want to perform at your best, you owe it to yourself to see if there are any structural imbalances that are contributing to the premature break down of your body. 

Call today to set up your Structural Fingerprint Exam and have your best season ever.
