In the competitive world of track and field, athletes are always looking for an edge that can help them outperform their peers. With advancements in sports technology and techniques, EMSCULPT NEO emerges as a groundbreaking tool that can significantly enhance the performance of runners. At Phelts Chiropractic, Dr. John Phelts offers athletes an accessible and affordable option to integrate this innovative technology into their training regimens.

Enhanced Muscle Strength and Explosiveness

One of the primary benefits of EMSCULPT NEO for runners is its ability to strengthen the muscles essential for explosive strides. By employing high intensity focused electromagnetics (HIFEM) technology to  induce powerful muscle contractions, EMSCULPT NEO leads to an increase in muscular density and volume. This not only aids athletes in gaining strength but also helps in creating more powerful and explosive movements – critical for sprinters and distance runners aiming to boost their start and overall speed.

Increased Muscle Endurance and Density

Track events demand high levels of endurance and strength. EMSCULPT NEO excels by stimulating muscle hyperplasia (increased number of muscle fibers) and hypertrophy (increase in the size of muscle fibers). These changes contribute significantly to enhanced muscle stamina and resilience, allowing runners to maintain high performance for longer durations. The increased muscle density also supports better overall athletic performance, making it easier for athletes to handle rigorous training schedules.

Fat Reduction for Optimal Performance

Added weight can impede an athlete’s speed and agility. EMSCULPT NEO offers the dual benefit of muscle toning (via HIFEM) and fat elimination via radiofrequency (RF). This technology targets and decreases fat cells, thereby reducing dead weight that athletes carry with them. When the body sheds unnecessary fat, runners can experience noticeable improvements in speed and endurance, with less energy expended per stride.

Targeted Strengthening: Core, Glutes, Thighs, and Calves

The role of the core, glutes, thighs, and calves in determining running efficiency cannot be overstressed. EMSCULPT NEO specifically enhances these critical areas, ensuring that they are stronger and more capable of supporting the demands of running and other track and field activities. Strengthening these areas not only improves running technique but also helps in reducing the risk of injuries, allowing athletes to train consistently without interruption.

Rehabilitation and Prevention of Muscle Strains

Many track athletes experience recurring strains and injuries that can hinder their progress and performance. EMSCULPT NEO assists in rehabilitating muscles that have been previously strained and fortifies them against future injuries. Patients often report reduced aches and a stronger ability to withstand the stresses of intense training, thanks to the reinforced muscle tissue and increased resilience fostered by EMSCULPT NEO treatments.

Skin Tightening Benefits

Apart from its muscle and performance enhancing benefits, EMSCULPT NEO also increases the production of collagen and elastin, essential components for tight, healthy skin. This additional benefit helps athletes by providing a more toned and firm body appearance, which can boost confidence both on and off the track.

Accessible and Affordable at Phelts Chiropractic

Understanding that accessibility can be a barrier to adopting new technologies, Dr. John Phelts at Phelts Chiropractic makes EMSCULPT NEO treatments both accessible and affordable in the NYC area. With sessions ranging between $400-$500, athletes can incorporate this cutting-edge technology into their training without breaking the bank.  We openly list our EMSCULPT NEO prices online on our website.

For runners and track and field athletes aspiring to elevate their performance, EMSCULPT NEO offers a comprehensive solution that addresses various aspects of athletic needs. From strength and endurance to injury prevention and recovery, incorporating EMSCULPT NEO can be a game changer in the pursuit of athletic excellence.
