BioSignature Modulation and Nutrition

I am a Level 2 BioSignature Modulation practitioner. This is the most effective method available to help clients who are interested in: weight loss, body fat reduction, reducing stress levels, managing insulin levels, managing blood sugar, improving nutrition and body composition changes.

Sprint Training

I run a High Performance group of Sprinters and Jumpers in the National Stadium, Santry, with AAI Level 3 Coach John Shields.
Using my Strength Training and Sprint Training knowledge my goal is to make clients leaner, faster and stronger.

Trigger Point Dry Needling is the single most effective treatment available for the treatment of all muscular injuries.

It provides remedies for:

  • Muscle Tightness and Muscle spasms
  • Helps resolve muscle tears very quickly (See below)

Why is this treatment so Effective?
When a muscle or group of muscles is initially injured it is usually recommended that treatment can't start for 72 to 96 hours. However the muscle can be needled straight away which has the effect of reducing tightness and tension in the area immediately. This allows the muscle(s) to relax and facilitates the healing process to be more rapid.
*** A recent example of this was Brian Gregan pulled his hamstring in the World Under 23 Championships. Two weeks later he won the National Senior 400m All Irelands. ***

Using the latest researched information on Strength Training, Nutrition, BioSignature Modulation, Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation, Sprint Training and Functional Screening I enable my clients to achieve their goals. All Goals are more readily achieved using a combination of these areas. Whether you are interested in Fat Loss, Muscle gain, Speed Development or Health Improvement, for example, a course of action is meticulously planned and executed for every client.

As can be seen from the personal training section and most other sections, nutrition is mentioned regularly as an aid to help achieve all goals. There is a saying: "garbage in, garbage out". Regardless of what your goal is you will never achieve it without the correct nutrition plan. I use a combination of Diet Analysis and Modification combined with your BioSignature profile, Supplementation (where required), Detoxification and Stress Management we help you achieve your goals.

This is a scientific biomechanical functional analysis screening system that has been designed to identify if a client has any weaknesses. For example you can improve your squat by up to 10% just by strengthening a weak vastus medialis oblique (muscle on the inside of your knee) without doing any additional squat training! As you are only as strong as your weakest link, this is an invaluable tool to help an athlete improve their strength and possibly speed as it not only strengthens weak areas but highlights imbalances between limbs for both upper and lower body. Once you are balanced you are automatically stronger!

BioSignature Modulation is a researched system based on scientific evidence that determines an individual's HORMONAL PROFILE based on where they store their body fat.Whether you are interested in Weight Loss, Fat Loss, Muscle Gain, Body Composition Changes, Managing Insulin Levels or Managing Stress Levels BioSignature Modulation can help you achieve your goals.
