Seminar: Neck Strength For Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

February 14, 2018 / Skylar Pond

Clinical Neck Strength: The MMA Series

hosted by Dr. Skylar Pond at Ivan Salaverry MMA

I was recently exposed to the world of brazilian jiu jitsu and like many others before me, I’ve been bitten by that bug. To prepare for my latest appearance on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge, I turned to the expertise of the staff at ISMMA. Grappling put its hooks in me.

Long after the BSR episode came and went, I kept coming back to ISMMA for more. What began as a quick crash course in techniques to successfully throttle hillbillies in the desert on the Country Music Television network has turned into its own journey.

As is my habit, I jumped into Jiu Jitsu head first and have the opportunity to test prevailing rehab concepts first hand. Through that process I’ve developed an approach to strengthening the neck and spine specific for the MMA and Jiu Jitsu athlete.

I can't say enough great things about my experience with Dr. Skylar Pond! As someone who's active and always looking to stay at my peak performance, I came in with some hip and mobility issues that had been holding me back. From the moment I walked into their clinic, I felt the genuine passion they have for helping people achieve their best physically.

Their approach is unlike any other chiropractor I've been to. I had used the Ring Dinger , which, to put it simply, was life-changing! After just one session, I felt an incredible release in my hips—almost like they were unlocked. I walked out feeling taller, lighter, with more flexibility and a confidence in my movement I hadn't felt in ages. It's like my swagger is back, and it feels amazing to be this mobile and pain-free!

Dr. Skylar Pond is extremely knowledgeable, always explaining each technique and how it benefits the body. He goes beyond just the adjustment, tailoring advice on stretches and strengthening exercises to keep things aligned and moving well. It's clear that their priority is long-term health and performance, not just a quick fix.

If you're an athlete, someone who just wants to move better, or even if you’re just curious about what chiropractic care can do for you, I highly recommend Dr. Skylar Ponds office, Sport Medicine Northwest.

Dr Pond is the best Chiropractor I’ve ever been to and a fantastic guy as well. I had a disk herniated in lower back went to him for the Ring Dinger and got unbelievable results. I’ve sent my family and friends to him and same thing. Basically eliminated years of complex back pain and problems. Unbelievable and couldn’t speak highly enough of everything they do.

My father who has been to over 30 chiropractors in his life said that Dr J is the best he’s ever been too and has started making the 3.5 hour drive from across the state to see her. She also always compliments me on my sweet drip so she gets bonus points on top of helping me through my recovery process on my back. Anyone who hasn’t had the “Ring Dinger” needs to look into it because it is life changing!
