From Overweight To Elite Athlete - With Coach Allan


While vacationing at a tropical resort in Mexico before his 39th birthday, Allan started a game of beach volleyball and after one game he had to sub out. Once an athlete, poor lifestyle choices had left him obese, out of shape, and miserable.

As he sat on the beach, he realized he needed to make a change. He decided to improve his lifestyle and reclaim his fitness. Over the next eight years, he rode countless waves of weight loss and gain. Being over 40 made weight loss much more difficult. When he did lose weight, he couldn't keep it off.

This rollercoaster ride, losing and regaining the same 20 - 30 pounds over and over made him realize that a decision alone was not enough. One morning, while lying in bed in a hotel room, hungover and fat again, he made a commitment to his health and well-being. And that single moment changed everything.

Over the next 11 months, Allan lost over 55 lbs. He capped off the change by completing a Tough Mudder with his 21 year-old daughter. Of course this transformation got attention from friends and family. Allan knew he could help others do exactly what he had done.

Chiropractic And Injury Prevention

As research performed in the last few decades has shown, Chiropractic is known to change & improve various aspects of nervous system function, including motor control, brain reaction times, and brain cognitive processing (the speed with which our brain processes information). So, it makes sense that if any of these areas are lacking then you should be at greater risk for injury, especially when we are talking low back injuries (due to how important brain control is over the vitally important spinal muscles). We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b...
