I first met Rick when he helped me fix a shoulder problem. He
was one of the few injury specialists I met who helped athletes by focusing on
getting them back to training, rather than avoiding workouts.
Rick showed me what so many other injury specialists hadn't -
how to work through the right sequence of techniques to unlock the tension and
tightness in my muscles to properly solve the problem.
He's the guy I turned to when my wife, Courtney, was struggling
with pain and discomfort in her hips after the birth of our son Lincoln.
In the days and months following the birth, she experienced pain
in her legs and discomfort when walking and sitting. She was struggling to
sleep.
In just 15 minutes working with Rick, he'd successfully unlocked
her hip flexors so she no longer felt any pain or discomfort that day. She was
able to walk without experiencing the nagging pain in her pelvic area. She
could sleep better and could start enjoying those precious days with a little
one at
But Rick's "flow" technique doesn’t only help those in
pain.
At Critical Bench, our Head Strength Coach Chris Wilson felt his
hip flexors were a little tight (from sitting and answering training questions
on facebook too much) and tried the same routine Rick had used with my wife.
Within days, Chris successfully increased his deadlift by 35 pounds to finally
hit that 500 pound pull he had been training for. All because he got to
experience the sequential flow of movements that Rick developed to release his
hip flexors.
It’s not about the exercises.
