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?

Degenerative Joint Disease

Degenerative joint disease is common in the lower back region and can be a source of low back pain in many people. The low back  supports nearly half of the body’s overall weight. A lifetime of pressure on the lower back can cause the cartilage that surrounds vertebral joints, or facet joints, to deteriorate, a condition that can lead to bone spurs, joint stiffness, inflammation, and pain.

The causes of Joint Degeneration include:

• Obesity
• Malnutrition
• A weakened immune system
• Congenital joint disorders
• Prolonged misuse, overexertion
• Poor posture
• Disease

What Should I Do If I Think I Have Degenerative Joint Disease?

 In general some techniques that will help with DJD include: electric stimulation, soft tissue work, adjustments, decompression, and stretching and strengthening exercises. If you are suffering from
pain, weakness, tingling, or stiffness in your lumbar spine, hips, buttocks, or legs consult your local chiropractor and see what chiropractic can do to help decrease your back pain.

Upper and Lower Crossed Syndrome

Upper and Lower Crossed Syndrome
Crossed syndromes usually occur do to alternating sides of inhibition and facilitation in the upper quarter and lower quarter. Layer syndrome, essentially a combination of UCS and LCS is characterized by alternating patterns of tightness and weakness, indicating long-standing muscle imbalance pathology.

Upper Crossed Syndrome

In UCS, tightness of the upper trapezius and levator scapula on the dorsal side crosses with tightness of the pectoralis major and minor. Weakness of the deep cervical flexors ventrally crosses with weakness of the middle and lower trapezius.  In LCS, tightness of the thoracolumbar extensors on the dorsal side crosses with tightness of the iliopsoas and rectus femoris. Weakness of the deep abdominal muscles ventrally crosses with weakness of the gluteus maximus and medius. This type of imbalance often leads to lower back pain.
