Breathwork//Tactics presents: The Performance and Recovery Summit
An Event Designed for First Responders and Public Safety Officials
The Performance and Recovery Summit is a three-day training designed to equip first responders with cutting edge methods to enhance mental and physical performance on the job while also improving one’s ability to recover from the physical and mental tolls that come with the profession. This training is for first responders only, and no matter what branch you belong to, you will find valuable tools to help you both on and off duty.
Some of the methods you will be trained to implement:
- Nervous System Regulation Education: Learn about how the nervous system interfaces with your physiology and psychology. Then learn how to create shifts in your autonomic nervous system to help you sleep better, think more clearly, and have more energy when you need it. Your mind is your greatest resource. This educational piece is the foundation that we will build on throughout the entire experience.
- Key Metrics Testing: How to measure key metrics to gauge your current performance and recovery state so you can measure your improvements over time.
- CO2 Tolerance Training: to improve respiratory function, reduce air demands, improve overall stress resilience
- Deep Breathing//Intermittent Hypoxic Training: This protocol improves oxygen carrying capacity and endurance, reduces stress, and can be used to break through periods of rumination and psychologically challenging times.
- Sauna Therapy: Heat Exposure therapy has been shown to improve blood pressure, increase learning capacity, reduce all cause mortality risks, and enhance post-exercise recovery.
- Cold Exposure Therapy: This modality is primarily used as a way to work with the stress response; however, cold therapy has been documented for decades as an effective method for improving recovery and enhancing performance.
- High Intensity Interval Training/Athletic Breath Training: The purpose of these lessons will be to improve your ability to use breath control under physical stress. Prepare to improve the way you breathe while improving the way you move.
Sleeping accommodations, meals, and all other amenities are included.
