Verona Little Leauge Update

 

Unwin Chiropractic and Wellness Center’s sponsored Verona Little League Team, the White Sox, moved on to the next round after a route against the Cardinals on Wednesday, June 12, 2013. 

The Verona Little League is finishing up the season with a two-week double elimination tournament. Should our team win this Wednesday the 19,^th they will move on to final game this Friday. They may be small in stature but they’re big on heart and play. We will be there cheering them on all the way to the end. If you have a little guy or gal that is potentially interested in playing little league, you should bring them out to watch. The coaches and fans are supportive, friendly, and fun. It’s definitely a great activity for the entire family to enjoy.

On Saturday, June 15^th, as part of the “Field of Dreams Game,” our team was given the opportunity to take to the field at the Madison Mallards Stadium.   They had the chance of a lifetime to play a single inning against a fellow Verona Little League Team.  The large stadium and abundance of fans didn’t seem to shake either team. Both showed great composure under the challenging circumstances and seemed to be having fun! After the game, both teams were able to stay and watch the Madison Mallards beat the Greenbay Bullfrogs. 

We would like to thank the coaches and parents for instilling such good sportsmanship in their players. We noticed that the little leaguers handled their strikes better than some of the adult ballplayers. Keep it up!

Special thanks goes out to coach, Jim Kawecki, for making this opportunity possible. We will always remember it and we are sure the kids will to.

Ask The Pro - Running Injury

The following is from a weekly Q&A we do in the Verona Press.

Q:        As part of my running workouts, I have been doing more interval training and have developed pain in the top part of my hamstring.  I have been stretching it but it does not seem to be getting any better.   How would you recommend treating it?

A:        It sounds like you may have strained the biceps femoris tendon or more simply, the upper hamstring attachment.  This is a common injury for runners doing speed work or stride work.  You can continue to stretch the hamstrings, but you should only do so to the point that you feel the stretch in the middle of the muscle, not at the upper attachment point.  Stretching too far only re-aggravates injury.  Also, get a sport specific massage to treat the injury.  Treatment should consist of a technique called cross fiber friction followed by icing of the area.  This treatment only takes 15 minutes 1-2 times per week for approximately 4 weeks.  It is a very effective and economical treatment that promotes proper healing.  Lastly, watch your form.  You should be working to strike the ground mid-foot and not with a heavy heel strike.  Striding too far out and landing on the heel will also re-aggravate this type of injury. 

Unwin Chiropractic Little League Team

The boys of summer are back, now if we can just tell mother nature to hold off on the snow long enough to get the first pitch out, we'll be good to go. We are happy to announce that we will again be sponsoring a Verona Little League Team. Good luck to our athletes we can't wait to get out there and cheer you on.

Madison Winter Fest

Sunday, February 17th found Lee Unwin (above) racing the morning Cyclofrost event held at the Madison Winterfest. The race was a 20 minute sprint where riders had to navigate a mix of conditions such as snow and ice as well going around and over obstacles.   Lee started at the back of the pack slowly picking his way through the crowd until he finally took the lead with just under 10 minutes to go. For his win he recieved a Rudy Project Helmet which he donated back to the organizers so that they could give it to a Junior rider who needed a helmet.
