The finish line.

Hurricane Ike wrecked the pavillion that is normally used at this event so we got to hang out in this cool tent!! 

Great job to all the participants and volunteers at the Surfside Marathon on Saturday Feb 14, Valentines Day. 

Thanks again to the race organizers for have Taylor Sport out for their event!! 

GYM PICS!

Hey all....These are some up to date pictures of the Taylor Sport Gym. We have some new equipment and we rearranged to make it more functional. It's a big hit with all our clients and lifters. We've been up and running now for about one month! I do 90% of my training here and we have several lifters that come on Saturdays at noon to train.

Stop on by and check us out! We also have a free Crossfit class on Saturdays at 10am for newbe's!

  

It's like having Jack Lalanne in a capsule!

Catechins, a sub-class of polyphenols, or antioxidant compounds found in green tea could help promote exercise-induced abdominal fat loss, according to a new study. Green tea is a rich source of catechins, which are thought to play a beneficial role in reducing the risk of various diseases, including Alzheimer's, certain cancers, cardiovascular and oral health.

 

The current study found that consuming a beverage containing green tea catechins (625mg/d) may enhance exercise-induced loss of abdominal fat and improve triglyceride levels.

 

ART at TSC&T

ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

How do overuse conditions occur?

Over-used muscles (and other soft tissues) change in three important ways:

• acute conditions (pulls, tears, collisions, etc),
• accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma)
• not getting enough oxygen (hypoxia).

Each of these factors can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. This scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness.

What is an ART treatment like?

Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.

These treatment protocols - over 500 specific moves - are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. ART is not a cookie-cutter approach.

What is the history of Active Release Techniques?

ART has been developed, refined, and patented by P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP. Dr. Leahy noticed that his patients' symptoms seemed to be related to changes in their soft tissue that could be felt by hand. By observing how muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves responded to different types of work, Dr. Leahy was able to consistently resolve over 90% of his patients' problems. He now teaches and certifies health care providers all over the world to use ART.

Dr. Taylor as been certified in ART since 2004. ART in combination with other techniques is a very powerful tool that can be used in any situation to help any soft tissue problem!
