Like to know if you can feel better with treatment too?

Helping Mountain Biker's Back Pain.

9/8/2017

 
Rider: Alex Evans



I see a lot of sporty and active people in my practice so the question I hear a lot is... 
 'Can I keep riding my bike?'
The answer is usually yes, however it very much depends on the condition of your body. The method of body correction I use is so effective that in most cases, this is made possible by carefully scheduling appointments into your work and training routines.
A great example is the work I have done for our mountain biking friend, Alex Evans.
Alex got in touch to see if I could help his low back and sciatic leg pain, plus occasional 'hard to describe' dizzy/blackout episodes - which I suspect could be a result of significant  biking crashes and concussions.
I modified the usual plan of treatment sessions which allowed Alex to keep riding to work and riding trails on the mountain bike.

'This strategy
has worked
​amazingly well.'
As you can imagine, I had my work cut out. ​ I knew I could fix him, having seen so many similar cases. The catch was he would have to drive 1.5 hours to see me and had to continue commuting 40 miles a day to the office, which had the potential to hinder his progress.

I modified the usual plan of treatment sessions for Alex. In my experience, I've found that sports people and those with manual jobs are able to continue doing 'their thing' if we're flexible with appointments. So, on several occasions I adjusted him twice in one day (there's no additional charge for same day appointments), some days I adjusted him before and after a bike ride which meant he could continue to ride, maintain fitness. This strategy has worked amazingly well (far better than I anticipated!). He's stronger and more upright than he was before we began and no longer has the back and leg pain, nice work.

If you're a mountain biker and are interested to find out if this approach will work for you get in touch. I think you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll feel loads better.
