Sponsor Highlight - Cape Chiropractic and Accupuncture

Recently, I had the opportunity to see Dr. Zev from Cape Chiropractic and Accupuncture in action.  He is an athlete himself and is a master at repair and recovery.  He hasn't worked on me yet, but he provided a huge lift for my son, Jake.  Jake is more of a track athlete than a cyclist at this point, but he had gone through many weeks of high intensity training leading up to the conference and state indoor championship meets - this easily relates to cyclists starting to hit the overtraining wall in mid to late summer.

Dr. Zev offered the services of his practice to assist in preparation for Jake's big meets, and part of the treatment was spending some serious time in his NormaTec Recovery System.  Jake could feel the difference with each treatment - his legs felt fresher, and he had more spring in his sprint.  The first test was the conference championship, where Jake easily won his focus event (200m) at 23.10 and placed a close second in the 400m at 51.09.  A week and a few treatments later, Jake also won the state championship in the 200m at 23.08 and was again runner up in the 400m at 50.45!  Obviously the system worked - his times for both events were better at the state championship than the previous week.

Based on seeing this real world outcome, I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Zev when to training workload starts to get the best of you!
