“Preparation for ultra-endurance mountain bike racing, and particularly solo 24 hour racing, requires an enormous amount of training time on the bike. Consequently, it is vital to recover quickly from hard workouts. It is also important to avoid injuries. My treatments with Terrel have drastically reduced my recovery time, both in between big workouts, as well as between big races. The treatments have also addressed and resolved several minor injuries that previously would have stayed with me all season long. Terrel’s treatments have played a major role in my transition from a top-three finisher to an all out race winner.” -Steve Schwarz, elite level ultra-endurance mountain biker; Winner, Solo Pro category, 2006 24 Hours of Big Bear, Hazelton,

<< “Terrel is wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to working with an athlete to increase flexibility and strength. He also takes the very valuable approach of incorporating massage into the overall annual training plan, a unique holistic approach that varies according to race schedule and peak periods.” -Michelle Harburg 50th Woman at the 2009 Boston Marathon with 2:57 5th Overall Woman at the 2009 National Marathon Top Age grouper in Olympic and Half-Iron Triathlon World Championships Ironman Kona Qualifier 2009
“I worked with Terrel in the year leading up to the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing. He helped keep me loose and healthy during my difficult training time, including helping me recover from back problems caused by my 40-hour-a-week desk job. In particular, Terrel helped me work through one injury that had put me out of training for a week — and his knowledgeable use of massage and Active Release Techniques, I believe, helped me get back into my training much earlier than I otherwise would have been able to. Terrel made a real effort to understand my training and recovery needs, and tailored his therapy accordingly. Through my first year of working with Terrel, I was able to hit Personal Bests in three separate events — putting together my best racing season in at least five years.” -Tyler Byers 2008 US Paralympian, Beijing (800-,1500-,5000-meter races, marathon) 2004 US Paralympian, Athens (800- , 5k-, 10k-meter races, marathon) Former (2003) 1500-meter US Wheelchair Record Holder (3:02.59) Course record holder, Rock n Roll ½ marathon, Virginia Beach (49:00) >>
