Yankees have 2 serious problems. 1. They paid over $70 million for player injuries this year--the most of any MLB team. 2. They are ranked #15 out of 30 teams in sprint speed. Both problems are the result of scar tissue from lifting weights. While this scar tissue can't be released with stretching or physio, it is released with Somax Microfiber Reduction--as can be seen in the short video at the top of www.somaxsports.com If Yankees players can start our program this week, they can finally win the World Series next year.

I did some more research on muscle fibers and found something very interesting.

Muscle fibers are about half the diameter of a human hair, which is why it takes about 20-50,000 fibers to make up each major muscle.

While muscles can be strong, single muscle fibers themselves are very fragile.

MPa is a measure of tensile or tear strength. Muscle fibers have an MPa of .44--less than half of 1 MPa.

A human hair has an MPa of 260.

Which means a single muscle fiber is 590 times weaker than a human hair.

If human hair was as fragile as a muscle fiber, just combing your hair would tear it all into pieces.

This is why baseball players and other athletes should not be lifting heavy weights and why weights tear muscle fibers. The individual muscle fibers are very weak and easily torn.

While the body does repair the torn fibers and they do become bigger and stronger, the body also creates scar tissue that gradually accumulates with each lifting session, making the athlete stiffer, slower and more easily injured. A good example is Aaron Judge, who has seen his sprint speed ranking drop from #145 to #389 (a drop of 244 places) over the past 6 years.

Light to moderate resistance is a better way to increase strength. Tom Brady did this by replacing weights with bands, was able to maintain his flexibility and had one of his best years when he retired from football at age 45.

Alarming photos show that Ohtani has lost lower body flexibility which 8 scientific studies have linked to arm injuries. Lower body stiffness (small Stride Angles) are rampant among pitchers requiring elbow surgery. Today's pitchers with small Stride Angles only last 1-6 years before going under the knife, while flexible pitchers in the past lasted 20 years or more before retiring with an inflamed elbow. Fortunately, there is a solution in the attached background paper.

Sarah wanted to play baseball, but none of the local teams picked her. She couldn't run fast because her knees banged together. Her mom brought her to me and in two weeks, we were able to release the microfibers (mild scar tissue) that were restricting her legs. Her mom called me a few weeks later--Sarah was just picked to play on a team.

If you or someone you know is stiff and hasn't been able to improve their flexibility or sports performance by stretching or coaching, have them give us a call. And be sure to see the short video at the top of our home page www.somaxsports.com

Muscle does not win baseball games.

This is the surprising insight from our recent research paper on Major League Baseball results from last year. The teams with the most muscle (Giants, Yankees, Mets) all placed 4th in their division while a less muscled team won the World Series.

The paper at https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7176252544778661889/ has the stats and graphs.

The statistic Sabermetrics does not want you to know about is one of a class of Internal Statistics that determine future performance far beyond Sabermetrics entire class of external statistics.
Improving one internal statistic has increased sprint speed 13% in one week and is responsible for an additional 54 stolen bases in one season.
Improving another internal statistic improved team batting average 61 points in one season and added 20 mph to swing speed.
The fast track to team and individual success in baseball is the statistic Sabermetrics does not want you to know about.

Tony came to Somax after spending many fruitless years trying to improve his golf game by working with a well-known instructor. The reason Tony was not able to improve with top-notch instruction is that his swing problems were caused by microfibers (mild scar tissue) that had accumulated in the connective tissues between his muscles. As we released his microfibers with Microfiber Reduction and reduced his tension with Tension Reduction, Tony was able to get his game on track.

65 year-old golfer gets new body.

Jim Deveney watched his friends rave about their Somax Microfiber Reduction program for more than a year. He finally made the plunge and got more than he expected. While his golf game improved far beyond his expectations, he was even more surprised by the 24-hour change in his body.

"Not everyone can get a New Body at age 65.
I did! Although I was attracted originally to the Somax Program for golf I found the whole experience to be far greater than I had anticipated."

"Every stress leaves an indelible scar.."

I recently came across this observation by endocrinologist Hans Selye, the founder of the modern concept of Stress.

"Every stress leaves an indelible scar, and the organism pays for its survival after a stressful situation by becoming a little older." Hans Selye (1907-1982)

Since our athletes often recall the stress and tension that created the microfibers (scar tissue) in their connective tissue as we release them, and many of the stresses did not seem ‘stressful’ at the time, I have found that Selye presciently described the formation and consequences of microfibers.

But I would like to bring Selye’s astute observation into the 21st century and slightly rewrite it.

"Every stress leaves an invisible scar, and the organism pays for its survival after a stressful situation by becoming a little stiffer."

Modern baseball is all about velocity. Pitch speed, bat speed, base speed. The current paradigm is that velocity is the result of muscle strength. But muscles are only 20% efficient. More efficient systems in the body, such as the connective tissue and skeleton, generate velocity far beyond muscle, as you can see in our analysis at
