Unbreakable Spirit: Maxim Naumov on Special Forces

Mark your calendars for September 24th! Our client, Olympic figure skater Maxim Naumov,

will be testing his limits on the season premiere of FOX's reality show, Special Forces: World's

Toughest Test. We know Max's resilience firsthand, and we can't wait to watch him tackle

these extreme physical and mental challenges.

Subjecting the body to extreme stress, whether in military-grade training or rigorous sports,

puts the nervous system into overdrive. Massage and energy treatments like Reiki are vital

for down-regulating the nervous system from a "fight or flight" state back into "rest and

digest," preventing burnout and chronic injury. Maxim swears by the power of massage and Reiki at InTouch to get ready for the highest levels of competition on ice or on TV.

Evidence Base: According to clinical guidelines from the American College of Physicians, massage therapy is strongly recommended as an evidence-based intervention for acute physical strain and the relief of stress-induced muscle tension (Chou et al., 2017).
