The Senior National Games are coming to Atlanta in June of 2017 and our very own Ken St. Cyr is competing in his last few competitions in preparation for Atlanta. http://nsga.com/ Pole vault is like most Olympic events in that in requires speed, technique and strength. Add in age and you have a whole new set of challenges to overcome.
These athletes are amazing and very inspiring to watch. Patients tell me all the time that they are "getting too old" for this or that. I say you are as old as you thnk you are and while maintaining your body becomes increasingly harder each decade that goes by, the rewards are that much sweeter when your body does what you ask it to. Not everyone can pole vault in the Olympics when they are in their sixth decade of life, but we all can move more and more efficiently. If you are struggling with movement in life or sport, come see us at South West Health Spine & Sport and see if we can get you back in then game.
