Performance Friction Reduction

Meaning

Performance Friction Reduction refers to the clinical strategy of identifying and mitigating subtle, cumulative physiological and psychological stressors that impede the body’s ability to transition efficiently between states of effort and recovery. These stressors, often invisible and chronic, include low-grade inflammation, metabolic inefficiency, or autonomic nervous system imbalance, which collectively create “friction” in the system. The reduction of this friction is essential for lowering the overall allostatic load, thereby freeing up bio-energetic resources for optimal hormonal function and output. This process leads to smoother, more resilient physiological transitions.
