MIKE TRIZANO’s ROUTINE

 
We all see the Fighters fight, but what goes on behind the scenes? Below we detail how Mike Trizano uses EDGE services to help his UFC fighting career.

To maintain his fight-readiness Dr. Brian Kokulak and the team at EDGE PRO, have designed a program to help Mike Trizano recoup from injuries, maintain his fight-readiness, and improve his performance in the octagon.

After a fight, Brian will go through a comprehensive injury screen involving orthopedic special tests to diagnose problem areas and injuries of concern. To combat the muscle breakdown and tissue damage from the fight, Mike will utilize a variety of top-tier recovery modalities –

– the whole body cryotherapy chamber, where temperatures dip below -212degrees, to circulate fresh newly-oxygenated blood back to the rest of his system.
-normatec compression boots – He’ll wear compression boots for the arms and legs which help to squeeze out tissue damage and improve overall circulation.

Any sprained or strained areas, Brian will tape up to reduce any further strain and to allow for proper healing to occur. The thighs and knees, beaten down from tremendous strikes require a combination of massage, cupping, and blood flow restriction training. Blood flow restriction training allows Mike to use loads 5 times less than normal, yet achieve the same result. This joint-sparing technique allows his knees to restore at a heightened pace.

For Performance, Mike needs to be at his optimal weight and body composition is key here. To get his performance up to speed, Brian uses top tier measurement tests, directly from the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, to gauge Mike and explore opportunities for growth. Applying sports-specific exercises, we help to promote muscle endurance, stability and power. Wherever, the fight may end up – standup, grappling, on the floor, we’ve prepared Mike by giving him the extra edge he needs to come out victorious.
