Dr. Russel Antico of Howard County Chiropractic Spine & Sports will be the guest speaker at our August meeting, talking about Common Injuries in the Endurance Athlete.

Runners, bikers and swimmers expose themselves to many "repetitive stress" injuries. This talk will discuss the various injuries common to this large population of exercisers and pay special attention to those more common in the female endurance athlete. Focus will be placed on common causes, symptoms, treatment options and prevention. Attendees will be led through a comprehensive exercise routine including Flexibility, Strengthening, and Stability.

Dr. Antico is founder and clinical director of Howard County Chiropractic Spine & Sports Rehabilitation, L.L.C. located in Columbia, MD. He received his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from The National College of Chiropractic and holds post-graduate certifications as a Chiropractic Sports Physician, a Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and a Back to Basics Golf Instructor.

Dr. Antico is also a long-time sponsor of MMTC and will be presenting the club tent at IronGirl 2010!
