Step 1: Fluid Dynamics - Techniques that promote circulation of the blood, lymph, and water. Better fluid dynamics means the tissues and joints become hydrated/lubricated allowing for better motion to occur.
Step 2: Linear Small Motor Unit Recruitment (SMUR) - These are stabilization/activation drills to create better control of our joints.
Step 3: Linear Mobility - These are flexibility exercises that promote greater extensibility, primarily in the sagittal plane.
Step 4: Multiplanar Mobility - More flexibility exercises that promote extensibility in different directions.
Step 5: Linear or Multiplanar SMUR - With greater flexibility, it's important to reintroduce more stability in the area.
Step 6: Excitation - These exercises offer greater stability and control with faster movements.
Step 7: Stimulation - These exercises increase the information to the nervous system to promote greater neuromuscular control.

Perform a 2nd set with any exercise you feel is beneficial for you.

Hot Water Immersion
Hot Water immersion is used to help deliver fluids and enhance circulation as well as being therapeutic to the body and nervous system. Spending too much time in the hot water can be detrimental to performance. Optimizing the timing of Hot Water Immersion relative to performance is key. DO NOT use Hot Water Immersion after HIGH INTENSITY exercise. Protocol: Temp: 100.4f-104f 12-15 min in duration 4-5 times per week Hydrate during immersion
