M3 Performance

Train. Recover. Perform.

Wining requires a comprehensive process that connects training and performance. The M3 team uses recovery as that connection or bridge. Our performance programs begin with an assessment which lays the foundation of your personalized plan. As we work with you, we consistently monitor and adjust your plan to help you find success in all three phases of your process. From novice athletes to weekend warriors to professional athletes, we focus on heling you move well, live well and do amazing things.

Performance

Often, the winning edge can come down to your physical performance. Being able to move better than your opponent can be the deciding factor.

This program begins with a screening and assessment, then you’ll receive a tailored plan where we’ll work with you to achieve your ultimate level of sporting performance.

For Groups, Teams & Companies

At M3, we believe that movement is fundamental to the human experience and the quality of one’s movement tells us a lot about their health. For this reason, every platform we offer has a movement assessment component. Whether the client is an individual or a company, we see value in connecting movement to performance. We are a lifestyle brand that seeks to show up for our clients in innovative ways while improving individual and team results. We utilize multiple strategies to help execute our clients’ goals. Regardless of the strategies employed, the focus of M3Performance and Physical Therapy is always on improving the human movement experience while unleashing the untapped potential of our clients.

Our sports performance programs are an extension of the screenings and assessments for many of our clients. These options include individual, group and team programs and a focused on improving functional mobility. We work with your coaches and trainers to help create a collaborative environment focused on helping you surpass your goals.

M3 Recovery

Train • Recover • Perform

Recovery is a vital aspect in training and performance continuum for athletes regardless of performance level. The two primary benefits of recovery are injury prevention and improved performance.  Proper rest and recovery allow the body to better adapt to the stress caused by exercise while replenishing muscle energy stores and speeding up the process of tissue and cell repair. M3 offers services focused on helping you train harder, recover faster and perform at a higher level.

Dry Needling

One of the most common questions we get about dry needling is: “Is it just like acupuncture…” and our view is that the similarities stop at the fact that both paths use needles. We use dry needling as an option to enhance our hands-on treatment techniques (myofascial release) by one of three paths:

  1. Change blood chemistry in a specific area (in addition to endorphin release).
  2. Relax an overactive muscle.
  3. Activate a muscle that may be dysfunctional.

During a typical treatment, some clients who benefit greatly from Dry Needling are explosive power athletes like sprinters, CrossFit athletes, football players and soccer players. Any sport or activity that produces large amounts of force in short bursts also produces lots of lactic acid and typically those athletes also tend to have active trigger points. We have found that pairing our hands-on treatment with dry needling can decrease soreness while improving recovery and performance.

Performance Packages

M3 Golf Performance

M3’s first offering was in the performance space as we worked with high school runners and junior golfers in the Birmingham metro area. Many of our athletes went on to have successful collegiate careers and we began working with golf instructors to unlock their clients potential. This began our relationship with Titleist Performance Institute and grew into a blend of biomechanics, sports medicine, Pilates, and performance. M3’s Golf Performance program is takes you back to our roots. Our focus is not teaching you how to hit a golf ball, we are relentless in helping you build a foundation that allows you to play great golf. Being in the golf course should bring you some level of joy whether you’re an 18-handicap or a scratch golfer. We work with your instructor to help you develop the mobility and stability to create speed, efficiency and power. As with all our programs, M3 Golf Performance begins with a comprehensive assessment and transitions to individual program design. Our goal is to help you move well, live well and do amazing things in life and on the golf course.
