As many organized sports and training programs increase in focus and intensity across all age levels, the number of injuries is on the rise It comes as no surprise that one out of six adults suffers a workout related injury each year, some of them debilitating. Incorporating fascia release techniques is an effective solution to reduce or prevent overuse injuries.

Traditional strength training often focuses on individual muscles through limited ranges of motion. This is not only contradictory to the coordinated muscle effort used to complete most actions, but also more likely to lead to overuse injuries and muscular imbalances, which potentially offset or limit any strength gains. Sculpt overcomes these pitfalls through multi-planar motion that exercises multiple muscles and joints simultaneously without sacrificing intensity.
