Performance Coach Jamie Olympus Movement Performance Sport psychology is the study of different factors that can influence athletes and their performance. It is used to help increase performance levels, the well-being of athletes, and participation. So how does sport psychology affect kids both in and out of sports? How does sport psychology play a role in helping equip kids with the tools they need to remain mentally healthy? What role do parents play?

By Dr. Elaine Marquez McHugh Olympus Movement Performance Regenerative injections are an alternative solution to pain management and/or surgery. They do exactly what the name suggests, regenerate tissues. Really, they help to induce your body to heal and regenerate itself. Pretty cool, huh?  Dr. Jessica Robinson, DPT Olympus Movement Performance I know, I know, we’ve all heard this a million times, but it’s an important one. I’m guilty of it too when sitting in front of the computer or in one position for too long. We end up in that classic slumped posture with excessive rounding of our upper back, forward shoulders, and extended neck. However, good posture and the ability to find good posture is the foundation for all movements.
Have you ever woken up to a headache, pain, and a thirst you can’t seem to shake? Nope, I’m not really talking about the after effects of a big night out... I’m referring more to the effects felt after a big take out! All too often, people underestimate the extraordinary power of food when it comes to their health, fitness, and general wellbeing.  Brittany Peterson, ATC Head Athletic Trainer, Nutrition Coach A concussion is an injury to the brain caused by a shearing and stretching of th brain tissue. This can be due to a blunt force or quick acceleration and deceleration of the head and neck. Just simply resting after a concussion has been proven NOT to be effective enough for a full recovery. Olympus has practitioners certified in concussion management to help.  One of the biggest benefits of being out in the open air is the exposure we get to sunlight. All too often we spend our days sitting in front of a computer or slaving away in a building of some sort – getting out for a stroll, a run, a hike, or even a cycle means we give our bodies a much needed boost of vitamin D. How? Well, the sunshine vitaminis one of the few that we can’t actually derive naturally from food – we get it predominantly from the sun or from fortified foods such a milk. It’s quite apt that we get it from the sun, really, as vitamin D is the ‘happy vitamin’; it helps the body produce serotonin, alleviates stress, and elevates moods. And remember… a happy body is, of course, a healthy one. So, get out for some sun
