Episode 41: Prevent Performance Injury, Overcome Plantar Fasciitis, and Fascia Stretching to Speed Up Rehabilitation with Barbara Depta

VISIBLY FIT with guest Barbara DeptaWhat's worse than dealing with an injured body? Not much, or so it seems at the time. The good news is that performance injuries can be prevented in most cases. That is, if you fully understand how the body operates, honor its needs and are disciplined in using certain tools and techniques to maximize performance. If you're thinking that a performance coach is just for pro-athletes, think again. Everyone is an athlete on some level or another. My guest today is a real gem. And she knows her stuff. But listen closely, because she's got a cute Polish accent.Barbara Depta is the founder and CEO of Resync LLC and a former performance and structural balance coach to many professional athletes. She helped change the way athletes in the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, PGA, and LPGA Tours recover and perform. Her exceptional skills and knowledge in fascial fitness, nutrition, structural balance, and injury prevention helped her develop Resync products in 2017.Her goal was to create premium products for professional athletes and anyone who wants to take quality ingredients to perform at their best, refuel their bodies, and support every layer of their connective tissue health.Resync products have been clinically tested in the USA, Canada, and UK labs, are taken by top-performing athletes and professional teams, and are certified by the industry gold standard for quality and consistency: NSF Certified For Sport & Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG).As of 2021, Barbara is proud to launch the first vegan multi-functional sparkling beverage on the market. Hers and the company's goal is to provide everyone with different options to stay healthy on the go.Barbara's motto is "An Under Recovered Body Becomes An Injured Body™."A Couple Key Takeaways:•We need to understand, appreciate, and honor the process of being uncomfortable before we become comfortable.•Pain is a servant. It is up to us how we look at pain, it a builder or a disconnector.•If we are fearful, we aren’t living, we are only surviving.•If you cannot forgive yourself, you cannot love yourself, and if you cannot love yourself, why would you look to other sources for love? Shame, fear, whatever is holding you back, if you can revisit that with compassion and joy and thinking of your purpose while doing that, you will meet your goals.•Embrace change. Some people are too scared to embrace the pain of change for a moment even though it can greatly improve their condition and disposition.•Just because we are physically distanced right now, doesn’t mean we have to be emotionally distanced.•Most of our pain and fears come from our unmet expectations and goals. We need to appreciate what we have directly in front of us rather than we think will be in front of us in the future.Go to BeyondStretch.com and ResyncProducts.com use the promo code WENDIEP - for a discount.
