Have you been thinking about jumping into a strenuous exercise program to take your body to the next level? Join Walking Mountains Science Center and Dr. Tom Palic on Wednesday, July 17th at 6:30pm during the next installation of the Science Behind Series to find out what you’ll need to do to prepare for, and achieve peak performance from a scientific perspective.
Dr. Palic will be discussing how to achieve and maintain peak performance as it pertains to world cup athletes and weekend warriors. This discussion will also include a section about why patients plateau in post-surgical recovery. Dr. Palic will also review the balance between the body's three major components: structural, chemical, and emotional needs.
Over time the body has an amazing ability to compensate for injuries. While a person may feel like they have recovered from the injury because of the absence of pain, the body is most likely in a compensation pattern from that injury. Over time we accumulate injuries and the bodies ability to adapt diminishes. Find out if old injuries are affecting you and learn how to increase your body's ability to adapt.
