Stretching
I find that stretching really works for me, but it isn’t until I stop
doing it that I notice how much benefit it actually gives me! This is my number one must do to keep me
injury free. I have a stretching routine
that I do after each ride which takes me about one hour to complete!
Every Monday evening I do a Yoga Class for Men (and boys as I do it with my son Oliver too!) It is run by Samantha from Abundant Health and Yoga http://www.abundanthealth.net.au/
Sam is an excellent teacher who is very patient with us men/boys, and really concentrates on giving us a workout that really works on the flexibility for our legs and lower backs where we need it most!
Massage
I get a Remedial Massage combined with a Sports Injury massage (depending
on what little niggles I have at the time) every three weeks.
Allan will make a special donation to my 2016 Beat Cancer Tour fundraising
effort for every hour massage booked so do yourself a favour and give him a
call on 0419 862 188 and book in a Beat Cancer Tour massage!
Physiotherapy
Whenever I have an injury that I know needs further attention I see
Vanessa at PhysioFirst SA http://www.aussieweb.com.au/business/physiofirst+sa/1590339/

I have had a host of problems over the years from ITB issues, calf issues, quad muscle issues, achilles tendon issues plus others, and Vanessa seems to be able to clear them all up each in a very short time frame!
It must be said that each of these issues have been self-inflicted by me going too hard on the bike and riding up hills in too big a gear, and generally just overdoing it!
Chiropractic
I see Adam from Bayside Chiropratic http://www.bschiro.com.au who manages to keep me in alignment until I do something stupid again – like manual labour!
I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge Thank You to Samantha, Allan, Vanessa, and Adam for all the work they have put into me and keeping me on track (or should I say ‘on the bike’) to being able to complete the 2016 Beat Cancer Tour!
