Graston

Have you ever had a graston used on you when experiencing overuse pain? I just started having a shooting pain in my forearm, which was amplified while gasping anything. I had it checked out right away, and along with deep stretching by the chiro/pt, he used a graston on my arm to break-up the scar t...

Re: is it safe to see a chiropractor

I've been seeing a chiro who has been helping me w/ overuse pain in my good arm, and he's also been very helpful in giving me exercises to help balance out the muscle composition in my back. One of them was a back extension exercise, but only having my left (affected side) leg in the back extension ...

I finally won a national championship!

Hi everyone, I just thought I'd share the news that this weekend, I won 2 National Championship titles on the track for para cycling, and I represented BPI on the top step of the podium. I feel an obligation to demonstrate that our minds hold us back more than our bodies, and that if you or your chi...

US Para Cycling National Championships

This weekend I participated in the US Paracycling national championships, and I think I represented us BPI'ers pretty well. I got 2nd in the time trial and road race, and 3rd in the criterium (short circuit race). I put in a time good enough for qualify for the talent pool for the para cycling squad...

Another result!

Today, I raced to 3rd place at my state championship road race =^] I won the field sprint, as 2 guys clipped off the front that no one knew about until it was too late. I feel very positive about working towards my goals in July, and I just wanted to share. There were a few times I wanted to quit be...

Re: I won!

Thanks so much! I just posted a little blurb on FB to hopefully reach a few more people. A common misconception I get with cycling is that it's all legs, which is true to an extent, except for the fact that I needed to learn to use and trust my BPI arm to steer, change hand positions, shift, eat and...

I won!

Hi everyone, I just thought I'd toot my own horn for just a moment, if no one minds? I won the Southern California/Nevada state time trial championship bike race this weekend. I was so excited! It's a stepping stone to qualifying for the US Paralympic cycling team. I beat around 25 other fully able-...

Re: It's been a while, but an update for those who may care

For a moment, I got to stand proud on the top step, and raise my arms as well as I could.
