Today we have the privilege of meeting and talking with David Lemke, who we could describe as a wizard in body work. He’s a technical wizard using a method of technology called Surface Electromyography (SEMG), EEG, and various other things. Electromyography means muscles that are monitored and Surface means we’re monitoring from the surface and not putting needles in your body and all through your motions. It’s a listening device and they use wireless systems so you can move pretty much completely unimpaired while they monitor electrical activity in the muscles. They add in kinesiological surface EMG because it’s, in effect, a way of studying movement and they’re using that technology to study what’s happening in muscles during movement. Join us as we discuss David’s story and this treatment he does to improve athletes’ results.

I had an anterior meniscus tear, and so I had to train to recover from that injury by going backwards down the hills.” 51:[email protected]
