Sports Osteopathy DVD Created by National Academy of Osteopathy

July 29, 2011 - PRLog -- National Academy of Osteopathy has just completed production of the first instructional DVD in the Sports Osteopathy. The DVD is titled “Kick Faster in 5 Minutes”. This DVD is designed for martial artists and teaches practical techniques that can be practiced solo in 5 minutes per day to increase kicking speed by affecting the type IIb (fast twitch) muscle fibers.

National Academy of Osteopathy has accepted production of this vast project for two main reasons. The first being to introduce general public to the Osteopathic Sports Energy Technique (the only osteopathy technique created in Canada) and the second making sports osteopathy more popular.

While sports therapy is a big part of medicine and chiropractic; it is unfortunately not practiced widely in the manual osteopathy profession. NAO wants to change this. As such it is the only Canadian osteopathy college teaching sports osteopathy; as part of its curriculum.

Sports Energy Technique (created by world famous osteopath; Dr Shahin Pourgol) is a form of advanced osteopathic technique designed to improve athletic performance by increasing speed. This is achieved by working on the fast twitch type IIb skeletal muscle fibres.

Athletes can achieve dramatic increase in speed often after the first session. They can run, kick, jump or punch faster often after doing the first set of S.E.T. techniques.
