Notes

• What makes MBK special: Mobile and athlete-centric approach sets it apart, with Kenneth’s prestigious collaborations (University of Tennessee, Spartan Race, Ironman). Emphasizes preventive maintenance for youth athletes, combating high injury rates (e.g., 64.9% in ages 5-24 per CDC). Research-backed therapies improve performance (e.g., 30% DOMS reduction from massage, 20% flexibility gain from stretching). Holistic focus on physical/mental burnout, overuse injuries (stress fractures, tendinitis), and issues like dehydration/pulled muscles. Ideal for spring sports (baseball, swimming, running). No sauna facilities, but infrared blanket offers similar heat benefits. Committed to safety with COVID protocols.
