Roger - I have a Dr. suggestion for you on the athlete front: Keith Schaller, Sports & Family Chiropractic in Waterbury. He's an athlete and he gets it. I've only once had him suggest that I should really *not do* something for a while, he understands that we want/need to be out there doing our thing. He's not your average "cracker", he does do adjustments but his practice is much more holistic, and he's an acupunturist. He sends you home with stretches and exercises fully expecting that you'll work as a team to get things back under control. He's treated my thumb, shoulder, ankle, knee and hip - I recommend him with no reservations, I'd never have made 100 days last season without him. (I don't do much with doctors otherwise - the pharmacy wiped me out of their system recently because I'd not done business with them for over 3 years.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
