Sports Therapy Association Podcast
Health & Fitness
In this episode of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, former professional rugby player David 'Jacko' Jackson discusses how efficient functional breathing using the nose instead of the mouth can be key in not just recovery from brain injury but also improving athletic performance.
With 316 appearances for Nottingham RFC, and 102 tries across a career of 13 years, David 'Jacko' Jackson was forced to retire in 2013 due to ‘TBI’ - Traumatic Brain Injury. Re–training as a Strength & Conditioning Coach, David co-founded the School of Calisthenics, became a Master Instructor with the Oxygen Advantage, and founded ProBreathwork.com.
In this episode, Jacko talks about his incredible journey, and explains how as soft tissue therapists we can help educate our clients to improve breathing for performance.
