The Most Aggressive Jersey Goes to RecoveryDoc Athlete Bobbie Traksel

Bobbie Traksel of Team Champion Systems Pro Cycling has taken hold of the most aggressive jersey title in Oman.

This is a great success for Team Champion Systems which aims to hold onto the jersey, “we are all focused on helping Bobbie keep the combative jersey,” Friedemann said. We are certainly happy after this great victory which occurred following the training camp, where Dr. Rick Rosa worked with the team on their sports recovery, strength and endurance. “This is a great start for the season for me,” Traksel said. “These races were great preparation for me and I’m feeling very good about my new position on the Champion System team.” Dr. Rick Rosa works with a number of athletes in his sports recovery program, RecoveryDoc, these athletes include Team Jamis Sutterfield, Tony Thompson boxer, Keystone Boxing, Team Lloyd Irvin, high school, college leagues and more.

To achieve success, Dr. Rosa utilizes his signature Six Pillars of Recovery program for athletes which encompass all aspects of healing. The Six Pillars include:

• Awareness of State
• Rest
• Play
• Nutrition
• Physical
• Psychological

This comprehensive approach enables a more complete healing process that will prevent further injuries as well as speed up recovery between workouts. Athletes respond better when a coach is able to map out a specific workout. Similarly, doctors are able to map out and monitor specific plans that the athlete can follow. In addition, the athlete will become more aware of his/her recovery state and when he/she has fully recovered. The athlete can put that much more into his/her workouts which will ultimately improve the performance. Would you like to see Dr. Rosa in action with the team?

Revolution3 Anderson, SC 2012

If you are not familiar with Revolution3, it began in 2009 with one race and gained enormous media attention for the quality, attention to detail and the quality Pro triathlete field. Last year, REV3 expanded to three races and continued its upward trend of gaining a reputation unparalleled to other triathlons. In 2011, REV3 has continued its expansion to now include six races across the country. REV3 has made a name for itself in making their triathlons an exceptional experience for the athletes as well as the spectators. They go the extra mile including individual name plates for each athlete on the bike rack, a huge jumbotron at the finish line capturing each athlete crossing the line, ice baths at the finish line, great race schwag etc. 

The REV3 Anderson REV Races was placed at Anderson Civic Park on Oct 13th and 14th. The athletes and spectators were extremely enthusiastic, and everyone at Anderson Civic Park celebrated the event.

Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) was REV3's choice for triathletes' soft tissue treatments. Team A.R.T. was at the Race Expo throughout the event days to treat the triathletes and the spectators. I was there as a part of the team on the pre-race day to treat athletes. I saw a bunch of different athletes with all different conditions from lower back pain to Achilles tendon rupture. About 40% of athletes I saw on that day had lower back pain. Basically, half of the triathletes were swimming, cycling, and running with lower back pain! Ankle pain was next biggest portion of the athletes' complaints followed by shoulder pain and neck pain. I will post a blog about common triathlon injuries, their causes, and how to prevent them later. It was my first experience for REV3 this year. 

However, I alway get positive energy and motivation when I see serious athletes. This event made me to seriously think about try triathlon, even though it will be a long-term project for me.

It was a great experience for me to help them to go through this serious competition.

I will volunteer for REV3 as a medical team in one for Williamsburg (VA) and one for Columbia (MD) next year.

The High Cost of High-Heel Foot Wear

Nearly 90 Percent of Women have suffered because of Painful Footwear

Nearly 90 percent of women have suffered because of painful footwear, according to a survey by the American Podiatric Medical Association, and it isn't just minor annoyances like blisters and calluses. About two-thirds report heel pain and almost a fifth report pinched nerves, according to the study. And those are just two shoe-related maladies: Others include permanent deformities such as bunions and hammertoes.

Your Foot is the Foundation of Your Entire Body

Your foot: The foundation for your entire body which includes 26 bones, 33 joints, and 100-plus muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Wearing high heels can cause: Exaggerated curve in your lower spine puts you at risk for achiness in your upper and lower back.  High heels frequently can shorten calf muscles over time, so it hurts to wear flats or go barefoot.  Center of gravity shifts and you're thrown off balance -- a twisted ankle waiting to happen.  

Your Feet are Adaptable 

Your feet are adaptable, built to walk on a variety of surfaces. So to keep them healthy -- and the rest of your body balanced -- try switching regularly between a variety of low, supportive footwear. But finding a decent-looking shoe that fits, supports properly, and lets you stride easily and naturally.

Dance and Injuries

Dance Injuries Such as Acute and Overuse Injuries Can Develop from Repeated Spins and Lifting

Like other physical activity, dance comes with a risk of injury.  In dancers, injuries to the shoulder and arm are not as common as lower extremity injuries. However, acute and overuse injuries from repeated spins, lifting, and drops can lead to injury. Also, dance move that involves weight bearing on the shoulder and/or arm can produce atypical stresses to the shoulder joint and can also lead to injury.

Most Common Dance Injuries

• Rotator Cuff Tear
• Shin Splints
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Shoulder Spain
• Stress Fracture

You Can Prevent Dance Injuries by Warming Up Major Muscles Properly

One of the most important ways to prevent dance injuries is to take the time to properly warm up the major muscles of the body. If injury occurs, consult with chiropractor for proper care.

Chiropractic Care for Low Back Pain in Children

A Child’s Developing Body Can Receive More Stress in a Day Than Many Adults Receive in an Entire Year, This Can Lead to Cases of Low Back Pain

Children don't usually have aches and pains.  When they do, they're usually forgotten as quickly as they came. A child's growing, developing body can receive more stress in a single day than many adults receive in an entire year. 

Studies Show Low Back Pain in Adolescents

In a study of adolescent children, 30.4% reported a history of low back pain and 22% had pain within the last 12 months, sixty-six percent of teenagers reported problems with back pain in the past thirty days.  Despite experiencing back discomfort, they reported that the pain didn't interfere with their ability to carry out their normal, day to day activities.  

Heavy Back Packs and Poor Back Posture in Children Can Lead to Back Pain

Carrying heavy back packs loaded with books combined with poor posture can cause back discomfort. If a teenager is carrying excess weight and leads a sedentary lifestyle, he or she may be at particularly high risk of mechanical back pain.

Many common childhood ailments that used to be thought as phases as child goes through or inherent in children are now being traced to spinal misalignment.  Proper attention to the development of the spinal structure can lead to fewer spinal problems as adults.  This is why a spinal check-up for your child should be included as part of your annual well-child examinations.  Don't let a treatable situation become a lifelong problem.
