OFC Sports Specific Evaluation
All of our programs are based upon the OFC Sports Specific Comprehensive Evaluation. This is a thorough assessment of posture, flexibility, mobility, breathing, strength, body composition, coordination, skill, nutrition intake, hydration status, endurance, power, gait, balance, stability, body composition, functional & sport movement and agility. The evaluation serves as a baseline for the athlete and helps us determine individual strength's & weakness's. From this we can also uncover musculo-skelteal imbalances that may be limiting performance and contributing to a current pain situation. Generally if these imbalances are not minimized they ultimately lead to injury.
An analysis of the baseline, in conjunction with the athlete’s goals and imbalances, will then be used to design a unique, safe and effective program specific to the individual.
The depth of these customized programs is similar to the programs used by professional athletes.
A comprehensive program will also typically involve nutrition consulting using the Metabolic Typing Program.
Every Performance program includes:
•Daily structured program based upon the findings from the evaluation and goals
•Not a cookie cutter program
•Lifestyle and nutrition recommendations
In the ideal world, an athlete’s program should be revised every 2-6 weeks depending on skill and fitness level (2 weeks for the elite athlete and 4-6 weeks for the beginner). We recommend meeting with an OFC Athletic Specialist for more challenging programs to avoid plateaus, prevent injuries and to reach the highest potential possible.
“Brien has helped our women’s basketball team tremendously in the areas of strength, conditioning, speed and agility. In just a short period of time we have seen an improvement in our players.”

Sports Conditioning Group Classes
This group program revolves around the conditioning that athletes need to prevent injuries and to attain their highest level of performance. This program is similar to what college and professional athletes use to optimize performance, especially those athletes at the College of San Mateo, Menlo College, University of Santa Clara and Notre Dame de Namur.
Athletes will optimize movement efficiency, increase multi-directional SAAQ, improve strength, power and more. This higher level of fitness will be carried onto the court, field or track. The athletes will break up into groups and perform core work, speed and/or strength training with an emphasis on posture, quality of movement and core strength.
Given the need, we also offer sports massage, chiropractic care, hypnotherapy for sports performance enhancement (i.e. mental relaxation, getting in the zone, anxiety reduction, etc.) and nutrition coaching for athletes.
Optimal Fitness Athletic Performance Specialists and other practitioners work with the team physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, coaches, and the athletes to ensure the athlete competes at their highest potential and avoids injury in the process.
“Brien stands alone with regards to expertise, passion and custom fitness programs. I refer my patients to no one else. For athletic injury prevention and enhanced performance, Brien is the best I’ve found. He was instrumental in training my daughter to compete at a high level in volleyball after a serious knee injury.
As a chiropractor, every youth athlete I treat has different needs for peak performance. Brien always seems to find those subtle mechanical faults that most trainers never see.
When my patients request a fitness trainer, Brien is always my first choice. Why? ... expertise, individualized fitness prescriptions and a beautiful facility.”

“While at CSM, Brien helped our team in a huge way. Not only did he keep us in great condition for baseball, but our team had no muscle related injuries the whole year! I would recommend him for anyone who is serious about the conditioning side of baseball.”
