Improving Your Function: We may not get the arms of Arnold Schwarzenegger or the legs of Usain Bolt. Conversely, thanks to your exercise routine, it is likely you will notice that going up those2 - 4 flights of stairs to your office is easier.

Before your muscles grow and show definition, they start undergoing unseen changes to be more in sync with your nervous system, and setting up their muscle memory mechanism to adapt to and manage every day or repeated activities.

Injury prevention is everything for an athlete. Exercise is the bulk and mainstay

Many neuro patients would be stuck in a wheel chair or not being able to use their hands or feet ever again. Athletes would be walking in and out of the operating theatre like home if it were not for prehab.
