FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — Titans players like Logan Ryan have turned their focus to healing their bodies for the postseason.
In the game against the Giants, Ryan broke his Fibula which ended his season. Ryan said, "In football, they say that the injury rate is 100%."
To prevent long recoveries, Ryan trains with Kaylee Cahoon at Smart Core Method.
"I think my preventative work that I've done with Kaylee three times a week even when I'm feeling healthy, allows me when I have a broken leg, to not be something that could be way worse." Ryan said.
Cahoon specializes in healing through manual therapy like myofascial spot work. She said, "The public knows a lot about dysfunction and pain, and they don't know a lot about what good function is supposed to be."
Her clients range from children, to people with multiple sclerosis, and even professional athletes.
Cahoon said, "I also get people that have been in pain for a long time, and didn't realize it was possible to not be."
There are not a lot studies done on connective tissue, or fascia, which is why you probably haven't heard of this method.
Ryan said, "When I feel good, she keeps me feeling good, and when I have some bumps and bruises she makes sure they don't get worse."
He's confident it will help him get back in the field soon. As for Cahoon, she hopes she can send her clients off to a happier and healthier life.
"My goal is to not see them again honestly, because they don't need me," Cahoon said.
Cahoon wants more trainers to get involved with integrated treatment because of the growing need. You can learn more about her business here.
