PERFECT YOUR PRIME
The Tomahawk Science philosophy counters the prevailing culture of professional athletic training. We eschew the traditional strength and conditioning model in favor of an approach that combines data collection and proactive diagnostics to optimize performance long-term. With these tools, we identify performance barriers and treat them with preventive therapies to keep athletes playing at the highest level, well beyond what was thought to be their prime.
“IT WAS TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I WAS DOING LAST SUMMER...THEN, IT WAS ALL ABOUT WEIGHTLIFTING AND TRYING TO GET STRONGER…[NOW] I’M PLAYING A LOT MORE, BUT I FEEL PRETTY FRESH EVERY NIGHT. I HONESTLY THINK I FEEL BETTER NOW THAN I DID IN MY 20’S. I REALLY DO.”
— PATRICK KANE, CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

Mack was born and raised in Onondaga County in Syracuse, NY — where rates of poverty and preventable diseases like obesity and diabetes are extremely high.
