Guerrero and his staff build individual plans for their clients based on a body evaluation and make recommendations for how to become more pliable from the methods described by TB12 standards. He estimates TB12 has seen thousands of people come to the facility in Foxboro since opening, with a large number of those with a running background, whether they were distance runners, ultramarathoners, or just regular folks who want to stay in shape. Guerrero said he got his start working with track athletes and runners in California. Guerrero is Brady’s personal body coach, and the two have worked together for several years as Brady’s career has advanced into his late 30s and into his 40s. In essence, Guerrero believes that pliability and the TB12 method will give runners the strength and flexibility in their muscles to withstand the pounding of a consistent running regimen, helping runners stay healthy and on the road. How Important is Flexibility for Peak Performance?.Those visions were probably my brain’s attempt at blocking out the pain as he thoroughly worked over areas of my legs that I’ve neglected from too much sitting and not enough stretching for my 33 years on the planet and five-plus years as a runner. Then my senses came back and Denning’s voice returned.

If the TB12 method kept Brady going, then maybe it could work for me with a half Ironman on the horizon in June. I pictured myself smashing my PRs and all the competition around me. He likely spoke about my lack of hip mobility, or my weak hip flexors, and I’m certain the word “pliability” was in there.īut for a few moments, I wondered if a trip to TB12 to get treated like Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady would turn me into the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) of running-or at least a better conditioned version of my current self. There was one point when Matt Denning, a body coach at the TB12 Sports Therapy Center in Foxboro, Massachusetts, was digging his elbow so far into my left quad muscle that I stopped hearing what he was saying.
