Below is a list of Donnie's best resources and there's a lot!
- Favorite soft tissue modalities/therapies:
- NMT - Neuromuscular Therapy St. John Method (addressing trigger points, imbalances, and reflex arcs in the body)
- ART - Active Release Therapy (Releasing scar tissue and addressing nerve entrapments to allow muscle fibers to glide better)
- Supple Leopard Mobility Protocols and Joint Distractions
- Voodoo Flossing - to increase blood flow, tissue quality, and improve how systems around joint interact and glide better
- Functional Movement Screen Corrective Exercises - I use these after working to improve soft tissue quality so it lasts longer
- Joint Mobilization Techniques - I have learned a TON from Sports Medicine in this area over the years and it’s a game changer. There are structural issues and mechanical issues. You have to address both if you want lasting results. Learning simple techniques to mobilize the cervical spine, thoracic spine, shoulder, lower back, hips, and ankles will help change global movement in the body. Everything is connected!
- Trigger Point Therapy - with LaCrosse Ball, Softball, or Body Tempering
- Hyper Volt - percussion therapy to increase blood flow (works wonders after any dry needling or deeper work to tissue)
- Dry Needling - I cannot do this yet but I'm a big fan!
- Philosophy on soft tissue - use a hybrid blend of modalities and approaches because everyone reacts and responds differently to each stimulus. Also, there are a multitude of factors that go into each issue whether it’s acute or chronic. Sometimes small doses if applied properly have profound results in improvements. Too much or not using what the body likes can set someone back or ruin their career.
