Intracell Technology
engages the use of a simple tool called The Stick. The Stick is a
non-motorized device that is composed of a semi-rigid core around which
independent, 1 inch spindles freely spin. This instrument was engineered to
assist doctors in the deep manipulation of soft tissues such as muscle. The
Stick has proven highly effective at its intended function, but new evidence
strongly suggests that the benefits of Intracell Technology far out pace its
original intentions. A synopsis of these benefits follows:
The Q-10 Effect
Warm muscles perform better than cool muscles, Traditionally, athletes would
have to do light exercise to raise muscle temperature and enhance enzyme
activity, This came at the expense of energy stores that could make the
difference between first place and second place. Intracell Technology allows
an athlete to warm-up without expending energy reserves.
Speed, Strength and Endurance
Emphasis on flexibility training by most athletes is almost non-existent.
However, flexibility is crucial for developments in speed, strength and
endurance. The usual approach to flexibility is less than optimal since
muscle rarely stiffens uniformly. Typically, isolated segments of muscle
become chronically shortened. Intracell Technology allows an athlete to
perform general stretching as well as segmental stretching procedures with a
high degree of precision.
Barrier Trigger Points
Barrier trigger points are inflexible bands of muscle containing knots.
These barriers set an artificial ceiling on muscle performance by
restricting blood flow to the muscle. And, unrestricted blood flow is vital
for both high performance and full recovery from exercise. Intracell
Technology lifts the ceiling on performance by extinguishing barrier trigger
points.
Growth, Repair and Glycogen
Restricted blood flow to the muscles following exercise hinders muscle
growth, muscle repair and glycogen repletion. Blood flow restrictions are
due to generalized muscle tightness and barrier trigger points. Intracell
Technology relaxes tight muscle to enhance muscle growth, repairs tissue and
augments glycogen repletion following heavy exercise.
