TBRx Explained
TBRx, or Total Body Recovery, is a comprehensive approach focused on managing and eliminating pain through evidence-based techniques. The five core principles—pliability, nutrition, hydration, movement, and mental fitness—form the foundation for a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle that leads to faster injury recovery and pain prevention. TBRx aims to empower you to live your best, pain-free life.
The Approach Behind TBRx
TBRx was created based on over 30 years of experience in helping people improve their movement and extend their lives. The foundational techniques of TBRx include manual therapy, functional movement exercises, resistance training, and more, all aimed at aiding your journey towards injury recovery, enhanced well-being, and longevity. The approach is structured to assist in reaching and sustaining peak performance while fostering a balanced, healthy lifestyle. This is achieved through a focus on pliability, nutrition, hydration, movement, and mental fitness. Discover how these core principles can guide you to optimal health and performance.
PLIABILITY
The primary goal of TBRx is making muscles more pliable—a state in which muscles are resilient, move without restriction, and efficiently absorb and distribute force. Pliable muscles enhance your performance and shield you against pain and injury.
NUTRITION
TBRx advocates for a balanced approach to nutrition, emphasizing plant-based, nutrient-dense, and anti-inflammatory foods to support muscle recovery. Your diet plays a large role in your recovery, mental fitness, muscle growth, and more.
HYDRATION
Hydration is crucial for supporting overall bodily functions and achieving total body recovery. The recommended baseline is to drink half your body weight in fluid ounces of water each day.
MOVEMENT
Engaging in strength and conditioning activities is a fundamental aspect of TBRx. Through this approach, we custom-design exercises that mimic your daily activities or sports, allowing you to train without experiencing pain.
MENTAL FITNESS
TBRx recognizes the brain as the powerhouse of the body and underscores the importance of keeping it fit for optimal performance.
It all begins with a consultation
TBRx is a personalized approach designed to meet your unique needs. Our TBRx approach begins with a consultation, so we can fully understand your needs and develop a plan for you. In a TBRx consultation, we determine pain points, conduct neurocognitive and neuromuscular tests, assess your lifestyle, and create a tailored action plan involving pliability tissue work, corrective exercise, nutrition support, and cognitive exercises.
HOW WE HELP YOU BECOME PLIABLE
Muscles that aren’t stretched or exercised properly can become more vulnerable to injury and tears, preventing your performance. That’s why pliability is at the core of our approach at TBRx. With hands-on techniques, resistance band training, customized exercises, and a holistic lifestyle approach, we help train your muscles to prevent injury and eliminate pain. We help you work towards pliability with these simple practices.
- Relax Your Muscles:We minimize damage and tears by relaxing the muscles you want to target first.
- Locate Your Tender Areas: The muscles that feel tense or tender likely need the most care. We want to prioritize these areas to help them become more pliable.
- Feel the Difference: Once one area feels more pliable, we move on to the next. Change happens gradually, and we don’t want to overwork the muscles.
- Repeat: You should continue these exercises every morning and every evening, even on days you’re not working out. Staying consistent will help you see positive changes over time.
