Phil's story

Back on the mat in 8 months

In high school, I suffered a debilitating injury during a football game. Doctors told me I would never play competitive sports again, and I missed my entire junior year of football and wrestling.

I was not deterred. At 16, I took a multi-pronged approach: chiropractic care for the pain, plus swimming, weight training and calisthenics to make my muscles strong. Within 8 months I was back on the mat winning championships, and I became a D1 recruit. I went on to compete nationally in combat sports from 1979 to 2010.

After decades of hard training I have several natural fusions, spinal stenosis and other spine-related issues. Even so, I lift kettlebells, train in the martial arts, run and hit the heavy bag with zero issues.
