AMH Testimonial: The Ironman

5 Star Yelp Review by Tim P.

I found Aligned Modern Health through an http://active.com Swaggle deal for a spinal exam and massage this past July. I am a triathlete and I have Spondylolthesis. It began bothering me again this summer during heavy training and racing and normal massage was not helping. I also had other symptoms of spinal stress like sinus congestion

.
I completed Ironman St. George in May, 2011 and several half Ironman races before coming to Aligned for help with my back. Dr. Bonsol laid out a course of 2 x weekly adjustment and massage therapy. After the first 2 adjustments my sinus congestion was gone. One month after beginning treatment at Aligned I raced a half Ironman triathlon and posted my fastest bike and run times at the distance by significant margins.

The big race came a month later at Ironman Wisconsin. Dr. Joel Maloof was also competing in this race, so it was great to be able to swap stories about training and racing Ironman with the staff at Aligned. Having this mutual athletic pursuit means that the doctors know how to treat the ailments that come with heavy training for multisport racing and are not just the traditional chiropractic care, though they excel there too.

The outcome for me at Ironman Wisconsin was awesome. I posted my fastest time by over an hour in the 3 Ironmans I have completed. There is no doubt that the chiropractic treatment I received at Aligned in the 2 months leading up to that race played a large part in helping me maximize my performance. I got off the bike after swimming 2.4 miles and riding 112 miles feeling great and ready to put in a solid 26.2 mile run. Where once there was always pain in my lower back after a long ride like that there was none and I was able to run a good marathon.

My hereditary spinal condition will never completely go away, but through adjustment and core strengthening it can be minimized and managed to allow me to train and race at a high level.

Aligned Modern Health is now part of my team to get me to the finish line faster than ever.
