Vic Rakhshani
"At 25 years of age I had a significant sport injury. On one play, a double concussion, while my C4-C5 disc slammed my spinal cord. In an instant, my pro football career was over. Life would never be the same.
I had many questions. At the highest levels of sports, my team doctors were the Fathers of Sport Medicine (Dr Kerlan and Jobe) and yet they could not answer the one question I asked at every meeting, "How will I heal?"
I began my own research. I heard about stem cells, how they promote "self-healing" but that confused me because I already had an endless supply of stem cells within me. I realized that if I could find an answer to how my injury silenced my body's normal self-healing processes I would have something far greater than a series of isolated stem cell treatments, I would have the ultimate answer to "How will I heal?"
That was 40 years ago. Today, this brief story answers the two new questions I am now asked all the time, "How did my injury or diseased joints heal so fast?" and, "Why doesn't the rest of the world do what you do?""

How it all Began:
History:
-
40 years of pioneering research in regenerative therapeutics and sport performance training that was inspired by a career ending professional football injury (head, neck, spinal) and double concussion on the same play.
-
Over 100,000 hours of research and development in advanced regenerative therapies. Areas of research include sport and impact injuries, head and concussion injuries, wear and tear syndromes, chronic pain, neuropathy, bone on bone, post operative complications, failed surgery syndrome, post concussive syndromes, stroke, neurological conditions and other somatic diseases.
-
One of the early developers of "core-training", "functional, high-performance movement" and "foundation training" to optimize performance and minimize the risks of athletic injury, accelerate rehabilitative recovery and pain correction.
-
Developer and innovator in adjunctive stem cell therapy applications with all musculoskeletal conditions.
-
Lead researcher and creator of Functional Tissue Regeneration. FTR is the first, non-invasive, therapy model built on Rakhshani's self-healing and tissue regeneration sciences.
-
Worked with thousands of chronic pain sufferers and elite athletes in every major professional sport and major universities throughout the US and worldwide.
Background:
-
Vic Rakhshani is a former elite athlete who ended a professional football career in 1983, following a severe neck and spinal injury. Prior to that, Rakhshani was best known for being the first person in sports to ever have a position named after them. The “Vic-Back” (aka: V-Back) was created in 1978 when USC Trojan head coach, John Robinson built a new offense around Rakhshani's athleticism as a big, physical receiver and blocker. Shortly after Vic’s injury, NFL teams started building there offenses to duplicate the “V-Back Offense”. They changed the name of the position to the H-Back and today, the most dominant offenses in football are built around this system.
