Self Treatment Techniques For Combat Sports
The moment you read this, you are either extremely hopeful or just as extremely doubtful about whether you should proceed with reading. The first category mostly features freshly injured or recovering grapplers, while the latter consists of those who were injured, tried to fix themselves, and made it worse.
I’ve been in both those camps. Neither is fun. However, looking for professional help to recover from a grappling injury is not always an option. It may be too expensive, it may be someone who gives out generic advice like “you’ll have to stop training,” or it simply may be a person who has no idea what they’re doing.
In each of these situations, it would be better to help yourself rather than get more angry about your injury by turning to specialists. The main problem is that you have no idea how to fix yourself. I know—I’ve been there. But that’s no longer the case—the Scott Georgaklis Combat Athletes Self Treatment DVD can help—for real!
Functional Strength Coach Scott Georgaklis
What we need in BJJ is more people who train grappling and have detailed knowledge about human movement. Movement specialists, massage therapists, functional coaches, and physios all fit this description. If only more of them rolled so they could understand grapplers better when they’re trying to fix them.
In a somewhat crazy but surprisingly effective attempt to provide grappling athletes with a way to skip these types of specialists altogether, Scott Georgaklis has come up with a very interesting instructional. Experienced in grappling, striking, kettlebells, and wilderness survival, Scott is uniquely positioned to provide such a guide.
Having worked extensively with grappling athletes, including the U.S. Olympic Judo team and Travis Stevens, Scott now provides an interesting system to help you heal your own body.
As long as you are not seriously crippled, the Anatomy and Self Treatment Scott Georgaklis DVD will make a difference in your grappling without having to explain to physios that you don’t want to take time off the mats.
Anatomy And Self Treatment Scott Georgaklis DVD Review
The Anatomy and Self Treatment Scott Georgaklis DVD is a three-part instructional containing treatment techniques and anatomical guidelines for self-recovery after a grappling injury, and for prehab to keep you from getting injured. The material lasts over two hours and is spread out over the course of three volumes.
Part 1 – Neck and Shoulders
As a BJJ black belt with no background in physical therapy or movement, I feel a bit underqualified to review this instructional. However, I convinced myself that the sheer number of injuries I carry—or, more precisely, the aftereffects of injuries—makes me exactly the person to gauge the effectiveness of the Anatomy and Self Treatment Scott Georgaklis DVD.
Mr. Georgaklis begins with one of the two most abused areas in grappling—the neck and shoulders. Suffering from two neck hernias, a very battered trap muscle, and a torn shoulder, I could immediately see that most of the proposed moves in the DVD will work for you.
How do I know that? I’ve done them as part of recovery, and they did wonders for me. What Scott did is filter out the stuff that doesn’t do anything, leaving you with moves that will actually help you recover—within the limits of reality, though—he is not Joe Rogan.
Part 2 – Hips
I don’t have too much input about this part of the Scott Georgaklis Self Treatment DVD, seeing as I am the guy who always annoyed folks with guards as a result of my hip flexibility. They still work (I have no idea how), and so I’ve never done any maintenance or improvement work.
Georgaklis keeps delivering information in a similar manner to the previous volume, extending the range of exercises to the lower back as well, which I know is an area most grapplers will benefit from paying more attention to.
Part 3 – Lower Arms & Legs
The third volume of the Anatomy and Self Treatment Scott Georgaklis DVD leads us through self-therapy options for the lower arms and legs. The second most affected area of the body for grapplers is the knees, so this is yet another resource of very useful information.
While I was not too surprised by the exercises and methods Scott shares about the knees and ankles (done them already, just like with the neck), he got me with the section on ribs.
We’ve all been there, and he has some great ways of getting back into rolling mode a lot faster than usual. It seems I missed another high-risk area for grapplers—the ribcage.
Can You Treat Yourself?
It seems you can. The Scott Georgaklis Combat Athletes Self Treatment DVD is a testament that you can apply smart prehab and even rehab methods to nurse yourself back to rolling health—because that’s the limit we’re after, right?
I’ve always been the one who avoided doctors, physios, and the like as much as possible. In terms of self-treatment, I’ve done lots, and most of it has worked out. Whether my body just managed to deal with it, or my attempts contributed to healing, I could roll again.
However, I’ve had a few instances where I’ve made things worse and had to go to specialists. In all honesty, I lacked any real guidance from someone who knows both grappling and injuries to formulate a plan for my recovery, so it’s no wonder I failed. With Scott’s help, you won’t have to go through the same.
