Today I went in to Dr. Wood to get my leg troubles worked on. He adjusted my pelvis, back and neck. In addition to doing chiropractive adjustments he also uses Active Release Technique to work on soft tissue. As he felt along my IT band he had a “this isn’t good”. He worked out a big knot in the IT band and also said I had a problem with my Sartorius muscle. He also worked some on the tightness in the quads but said it was from the other issues.
A big thanks to Dr. Leahy who developed the Active Release Technique. I am lucky that Dr. Leahy is right here in Colorado Springs. Dr. Wood and Dr. Matthews are also in the office here. They are one of my sponsors and were a big help during my training for RAAM and now they are helping me recover. They have trained providers all over the country. You can search for ART providers in your area.

Wow. What an amazing fight. When I am having a rough day on TX 4000, I think about your time in RAAM and think “this is not that bad. If Rob can keep riding through injury, saddle sores, muscle damage, and a rotated pelvis, I can finish 105 miles.” Thanks for being an inspiration to me (and the rest of the Rockies team.)
