Your Muscular System is a Window Into Whats Going on in Your Body EP 28
The human body is so much more complicated than we imagine. It\u2019s not just a collection of discrete systems (respiratory, circulatory, muscular, etc.) operating independently. Rather, we are an interconnected, integrated, extremely complicated organism. And what\u2019s going on with us physically is not caused only by physical experiences, but also by our mental and emotional states.\xa0 \xa0 And because it\u2019s the foundation that allows us to be, do, and create whatever we aspire to in life, it\u2019s crucial that we take the best care of it that we possibly can. That\u2019s where Brandon O\u2019Connor comes in.\xa0 \xa0 Brandon O\u2019Connor is a Muscle System Specialist and owner of Austin Muscle Recovery, in Austin, TX. He works with clients experiencing a wide variety of issues \u2013 some of them genuinely just physical, and many of them complicated by mental and emotional issues that become trapped within our bodies, exacerbating existing conditions and sometimes creating new ones.\xa0 \xa0 Each client presents differently, and Brandon\u2019s expertise is in the observation of how each person moves and carries themselves coupled with an intense and detailed evaluation to determine the full extent of the physical manifestations of illness, disease, and the impact of mental-emotional stress or trauma on the body. The result is a highly-individualized treatment plan to rebuild and strengthen that person\u2019s muscular system, prior to moving the client along to his colleague who develops highly-individualized exercise plans to further develop and restore that person back to health.\xa0 \xa0 And it\u2019s all based on the client\u2019s desired outcome \u2013 the state of physical health they aspire to achieving. Laura observes that having someone this observed and knowing is appealing and can leave one feeling a bit vulnerable at the same time. We all want to be truly seen, heard, and understood, but knowing that another person is observing us closely and can detect where we are out of alignment, maybe feeling weak or unsure can also leave us feeling a bit exposed.\xa0 \xa0 Laura and Brandon also explore the topics of supplements, muscle testing, resistance, and the variety of health concerns people come to him with. If you\u2019re curious about your body and want to get some insight from the \u201cSherlock Holmes of the Muscular System,\u201d (as Laura thinks of him), you\u2019ll want to eavesdrop on this conversation.\xa0 \xa0 Brandon\u2019s Bio For the last 18 years, Brandon has been helping people live a better life through resistance-based exercise and Muscle Restoration. His passion for exercise started at age 15, when he began lifting weights for sports. That passion grew to the point that he wanted to help others reap all of the benefits he found through regular strength training.\xa0
With that purpose in mind, Brandon started a personal training practice in 2001, which started a journey to find the best possible solutions to help clients achieve their goals. Along the way, Brandon discovered radical interventions involving muscle testing and specific hands-on techniques to produce dramatic results in real time. It was a \u2018game changer\u2019 in his work, leading to the discovery of his niche: Helping those who were suffering the effects of traumatic injuries, surgeries, and disease states to return to fuller health.\xa0
Brandon founded Austin Muscle Restoration in 2009 and the Autoimmune and Injury Gym in 2015, where he and his team put their knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology, and Biomechanics to work on a daily basis. In 2018, Brandon became an instructor for the Muscle System Specialist Program instructing others in radical muscle recovery.\xa0
He holds the following certifications: Muscle System Specialist, Master Level Muscle Activation Techniques, Master Level Resistance Training Specialist, ISSA CPT, NASM CPT, NASM PES, Cooper Institute CPT. \xa0 You can also find Brandon here:\xa0 www.AustinMuscleRestoration.com Facebook @AustinMuscleRestoration Instagram @AustinMuscleRestoration
