At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we are excited to roll out our updated protocol tailored specifically for young athletes, utilizing our comprehensive MOLO METHOD of Treat, Train, and Teach. This approach ensures a holistic treatment plan that not only addresses injuries but also strengthens and educates young athletes, preventing future injuries and enhancing overall performance.
Understanding SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave therapy employs true shockwave technology, distinguished by its rapid and intense pressure changes. This technology generates a steep, sudden rise in pressure, soaring from 5 to +120 MPa and plummeting to -20 MPa within 5 nanoseconds before normalizing. This rapid fluctuation helps accelerate soft tissue healing by stimulating collagen synthesis, enhancing vascularization, and increasing oxygenation. The mechanotransduction process initiated by SoftWave—where mechanical stress is converted into cellular signals—facilitates deep tissue regeneration and repair, making it ideal for fascia-related injuries and conditions prevalent in young athletes.
TREAT:
The MOLO METHOD begins with four dedicated sessions of SoftWave therapy, with a frequency of twice a week for two weeks, focusing on the affected areas to reduce pain and initiate the healing process. This treatment phase is crucial for setting the stage for successful rehabilitation, utilizing SoftWave's unique ability to deeply penetrate and rejuvenate tissues at the cellular level. This phase is all about structural repair of all the connective tissue
TRAIN:
Following treatment, our protocol includes four sessions centered on training the less inflamed tissues, with a particular emphasis on the unique characteristics of fascial training. Recognizing that connective tissue heals and grows slower than muscle, our approach is carefully designed to gradually and effectively strengthen these structures. This phase includes:
Fascial Activation: Techniques specifically designed to activate the fascial network, improving its responsiveness and resilience.
Mobility Work: Targeted exercises to enhance the range of motion and flexibility, critical for maintaining healthy movement patterns.
Strength Training: Progressive strength exercises that focus not just on muscles but also on stabilizing and strengthening the connective tissues that support them.
Our training regimen is uniquely crafted to address the slower healing and adaptation rates of connective tissues, ensuring that our young athletes can achieve optimal performance without risking re-injury.
TEACH:
The final step in our MOLO METHOD involves educating athletes, coaches, and parents on injury prevention strategies. After the treatment and training phases, we collaborate to create a tailored game plan that includes:
Technique Adjustment: Refining movement techniques to prevent undue stress and strain on recovering tissues.
Stabilization and Strength Routines: Ongoing exercises to build core stability and muscular strength, providing the necessary support for vigorous athletic activities.
Continued Mobility Training: Regular mobility drills to ensure lasting flexibility and range of motion, which are essential for athletic longevity.
Young Athletes Matter
This revised protocol marks a new standard in care for young athletes at SoftWave by Molotherapy with 4 SoftWave treatments, instead of 8. By integrating 4 sessions of specialized SoftWave treatment with 4 sessions of targeted fascia training, we not only address the immediate needs but also lay a foundation for sustained health and performance.
Our unique focus on fascial training and connective tissue health sets us apart, ensuring that our young athletes are not just recovering but thriving.
At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we're committed to the long-term success and wellness of our athletes, empowering them with the tools and knowledge to excel in their sports (MOLO) and maintain peak physical condition. This is the essence of our MOLO METHOD—where we treat, train, and teach for the future of our athletes.
