About Coastal Health And Fitness

I grew up a pretty typical, active Southern Californian—I spent my summers in the water and my winters on the slopes. It was after I graduated from UC Irvine that I discovered my ability to run long distances. Quickly I progressed from a casual fitness runner to a serious, 80+ mile-per-week runner trying to win local races. Soon I was swimming daily and riding 300-400 miles per week, too. With all of those miles, I was injured….a LOT!! During one of those100 mile running weeks, I developed hip bursitis. The antiinflammatories from my general practitioner only gave temporary relief, and physical therapy and massage hadn’t helped at all. Relucantly, I drove up to Los Angeles to be treated by a chiropractor—I had never even met a chiropractor before. After treating me twice that first day, the pain was gone. In the course of a few hours I went from being in too much pain to stand to being able to play a pickup game of basketball.
