Ariel Tabak's Injuries!

Ariel Tabak has been plagued from extensive hip problems throughout his career.

The labrum acts like a cushion to help hold the ball at the top of the thigh bone securely within the hip socket. Ariel opted not to have surgery as he decided more physiological therapy was worth a try first. Ariel started using the TSR System which stands for Tissue Work, Stretching and Reactivation. Tissue work involves massaging muscles in a specific way to restore tissue quality, reduce pain, and improve range of motion. Stretching is then used to help restore the muscles back to their normal length. Finally Reactivation Is used to wake up the sleeping muscles. Ariel applied these methods and was successful in healing his extremely injured hips. Ariel now applies these methods to many of his clients as a physiotherapist, including passing on his knowledge to many of his teammates.
