ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE TRAINING
CHARLOTTE, NC

Train Your Brain, Train Your Game

The improvement of athletic performance training is not a recent trend. Dating back to the earliest athletes, the pursuit of optimizing physical output has existed as far back as we know. Athletic performance training has been an ever-evolving field that continues to grow today in the competitive nature of sports and athletics. Physical athletic performance training is constantly expanding from recovery tactics to speed and agility work to strength and conditioning.

 

However, while many modern methods today seek to improve physical function, at Better Brain & Body, our human optimization clinic specializes in a unique approach--optimizing athletic performance by enhancing brain function. By harnessing the brain's power, we can take hold of our bodies' innate and untapped power. By unlocking the untapped power of our brains, we not only elevate our bodies' innate capabilities but also cultivate lasting improvements in overall performance.

 

While today's physical training methods may indirectly impact brain function, our explicit focus on optimizing the brain-to-body connection sets us apart. We create a transformative experience for athletes of all levels and ages seeking to optimize their athletic performance. Dr. Alicia Brown has worked with professional and semi-professional athletes in the NFL & NHL at Better Brain & Body to improve brain-to-body athletic performance.

Cutting-Edge Diagnostic Technology

We understand that critical components must combine to train the brain and optimize athletic performance. These components include planning, latency (reaction times), decision-making, speed, accuracy, endurance, recovery, and more. At Better Brain & Body, we help athletes and everyday people create an engaging but challenging personalized treatment plan by testing, analyzing, and evaluating the brain with cutting-edge diagnostic testing technology.

 

Our comprehensive approach starts with baseline testing to create a personalized "blueprint" of each athlete's brain function. We analyze the brain and nervous system with advanced diagnostic equipment that measures brain processing speeds, eye movement patterns, changes in balance down to a 100th of an inch, brainwaves, and brain activity. We also assess the brain's timing, coordination, and rhythm down to the millisecond. These diagnostic tests help Dr. Alicia Brown devise a highly targeted, pervasive treatment plan and brain training program for each patient.

Advanced Athletic Performance Technology: GyroStim

We offer advanced performance technologies and brain training systems, like the FDA-approved Gyrostim, to help improve brain-to-body function and athletic performance training. This therapy provides a flexible, non-invasive method for managing conditions like TBI and concussions, balance and vestibular disorders, and various neurological conditions. However, athletes also use it to boost capabilities in athletic training performance. Check out which of your favorite professional athletes use this therapy to dominate their game.

 

The GyroStim is a fully rotational chair that performs movement patterns tailored to the patient's goal and/or treatment plan. Fitted with red targets, an athlete may use a red laser pointer to hit each target during their rotational sessions. With 30 different rotational levels and speeds, our team tailors every GyroStim session to a patient's proper speed and level based on their goals, independent abilities, diagnostic testing results, and how they feel on any given day.
