Endermologie® for Athletes

Physical preparation

Appropriate physical training of the athlete favors fluidity in action. By working on the fascia, Endermologie prepares the body for physical exercise and allows for better management of athletic performance.

Performances

When used during periods of intense physical exercise, Endermologie helps the athlete to manage exertion and thus take greater profit from physical training. Performances increase in terms of strength and power.

Recovery

Based on the metabolism and recovery from stiffness and muscular acidosis, the Endermologie effectively meets the athlete's demands, bringing fuller and faster muscular recovery. 

Research

Metabolic recovery: Research on electromyographical and biomechanical approach of muscular fatigability, 1996.

In this study, it was proved that the Endermologie Sports treatment improves the transformation of products in an anaerobic metabolism (lactic acid, protons, etc.) acting on muscle fatigue.

Recovery from stiffness: Research on the effects of a new massage technique on recovery from stiffness, 1998.

This study puts forth that after an excessive effort generating stiffness, subjects present a decrease in muscular potential by 10%. Using common techniques, 5 days on average are needed to recover initial power, whereas with the Endermologie Sports technique, 98% of muscular potential are recovered after 2 days. Greater comfort and absence of post-exercise edemas are also noted.

Recovery and optimization of soccer player

performances: Research on the effects of Endermologie Sports on certain parameters of the motion performances in top soccer players, 1999.

This study was carried out with a population of soccer players and showed, after 3 weeks of treatment with Endermologie Sports, a significant increase in performances in terms of strength, power and bursts of strength compared to an identical non-treated control population.

Thousands of practitioners use the Endermologie Sports technique everyday. Some of them, through their sports activities, have been able to validate this technique during major sports events, thus proving the contribution of the Endermologie Sports technique to the victory of many athletes.

Testimonials

“Since I’ve been getting EndermoTherapy …my range of motion has increased tremendously. Having already been through 3 back surgeries, the muscles in my back had become constricted and hindered my range of motion. Now, I have full range of motion and my golf game has shown improvement. I highly recommend the LPG machine….”

Everyday bloat is downright uncomfortable! It's commonly caused by water retention or gas -- a build-up of air in the intestines and stomach that can give you the feeling of a distended abdomen.  

If your condition is chronic, speak with your doctor to make sure it's not a serious GI concern such as celiac disease (gluten intolerance), Crohn's disease, or ulcerative colitis. Other less serious issues to investigate include lactose intolerance, constipation, and/or irritable bowel syndrome.

If you're certain it's everyday bloat, these 7 tips can help you feel significantly better:  

1. Avoid carbonated beverages -- drink plenty of flat water instead.

    

2. Avoid salty foods, since excessive salt retains water.

    

3. Limit sugar alcohols. Sorbitol and maltitol, frequently found in sugar-free foods and sugarless gum, can exacerbate gas and discomfort in people who are super sensitive.

    

4. Limit gas-producing foods, specifically broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, beans and cabbage. When you do eat them, try taking Beano, an over-the-counter supplement which can help your body digest them.

    

5. Don't overdo the amount of fiber in your diet.  Fiber is incredibly important, but too much can exacerbate bloat in people who are sensitive. Thus, be sure to increase the amount in your diet gradually and drink plenty of water to help wash it down.                        

    

6. Avoid large meals heavy in carbohydrates and fat. Instead, eat low-volume meals throughout the day (and eat every four to five hours).

    

7. Be sure to incorporate some type of protein with each meal and snack. Protein acts as a natural diuretic and helps your body get rid of extra water.

    

Some examples of low-volume meals containing protein:

 

• 8 ounces nonfat yogurt with one cup fresh berries

   

• 4 egg-white omelet with sautéed spinach and mushrooms

   

• 2 cups vegetable salad topped with 5 grilled shrimp

   

• 4 ounces turkey or ham sandwich on whole wheat bread

   

• One apple with small handful unsalted raw almonds

   

• 4 ounces turkey/lettuce rollups with one cup baby carrots

   

• One cup whole grain cereal with half-cup skim milk and ½ banana
