Passion for Life 5k – Walled Lake, 3/29/14

March 26, 2014/in Physical Therapy /by badams

Passion for Life 5k – Walled Lake, 3/29/14

We are excited about the upcoming Passion for Life 5k that will take place this coming weekend, Saturday the 29th of March.

One thing that makes this event special is the fact that each year, a local family and University of Michigan Mott Hospital is the benefactor of the proceeds. For 2014, the local family is from Commerce Township, the Balzer Family.

Adams Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy is proud to support the efforts of Passion for Life and the Walled Lake Community. If you are around, consider participating, running, or simply coming out to cheer the runners/walkers for this annual event!

 

Our seventh Inspirational Family is the Balzer family. Sydney Balzer is a nine year old girl from Commerce Twp, MI.

Sydney’s story started in September 2010 and just only a few weeks into the school year. After feeling extremely tired & worn down, the family took Sydney to the doctor’s office. After extensive blood work was done and a couple hours later, the family was sent to Children’s Hospital of Michigan and was told that Sydney had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. The family was devastated. Leukemia treatments are hard. Sydney had missed over 100 days of school during first grade. Over the course of the 2 ½ years of treatment she lost her hair twice, was in the hospital many times, spent many a days (and nights) sick from the chemo’s at home and was not able to participate in many of the normal activities that she loved (soccer, gymnastics, swimming). Even harder was not being able to spend time with friends. Sydney completed treatments in February 2013. After a great “cancer free” celebration, life was normal again. She enjoyed gymnastics, soccer, piano and so much more. Her smile is amazing and seeing her participate in the things she loved was wonderful. On September 5, 2013 the Leukemia relapsed. It was even more devastating. The family has been told that her best chance of survival is a Bone Marrow Transplant. She will complete chemo treatments through the end of this year (2013) and then hopefully (assuming a donor is found) receive a Bone Marrow Transplant in early 2014.

Sydney is the daughter to Jason and Stacy Balzer and younger sister to Jeremy.

 

Every year, there will be one family in our community chosen as our Inspirational Family and the proceeds from our event will go benefit the Passion for Life inspirational families, medical research at U of M Mott Hospital & the Passion for Life Organization

Happy Birthday Dr. Daryl Moore!🎂🍻☘️ The Happy Birthday Dr. Daryl Moore!🎂🍻☘️ The team at ASMPT is so LUCKY to have ya. Thank you for all you do for your patients, staff and community. We hope your day is as great as you are! Cheers!!!
Most who know Dr. Brian Adams know that he has a p Most who know Dr. Brian Adams know that he has a passion for cycling. Brian’s first exposure to cycling was in the early 90’s when he took up mountain biking, thanks to his college friends. 

Shortly after becoming a PT, Brian raced at an elite level in Europe, living in Belgium for 2 seasons. While there, he raced with the US National Team and the pro-development squad ABC-Cycling Center. Since then he has competed in various disciplines: road, criterium (crit), mountain, track, time trial (TT) cyclocross races and more! Along with his decorated cycling background, Brian also worked in bike shops during college and developed a skill set in building, repairing and fitting bikes. He is a Certified Clinical Bike Fitter and is recognized through the International Bike Fitting Institute (IBFI) as a Level 3 Fitter, a credential which is one of the highest in the industry. With over 30 years of bike racing and fitting experience, Brian is one of the few Doctors of Physical Therapy in the country that combines the experience of high level racing, coaching and bike fitting. 

Dr. Adams’ continued efforts in keeping our patients healthy and happy on the bike is truly a gift to our community. Our team at Adams Sports Medicine has had the amazing opportunity of working alongside you, learning the ins and outs of bike fitting and in addition to developing a passion of their own. Whether it is in the clinic during a bike fit, speaking to a local cycling team on injury prevention, or providing sponsorship and medical support at various cycling events, Adams Sports Medicine would not be where it is today without your experience, expertise and passion. 

Brian was recently listed among a group of world class bike fitters according to ​Bicycle Fit Guru. This is an incredible accomplishment. We are so proud of you, Brian!

Spring is around the corner and countless races and events are coming up. If you’re looking to have an off-bike assessment and properly fitted, we are here for you! If you’re having pain on the bike or struggling with your bike fit, call the clinic today! We’d be happy to set up a time with Brian to help you achieve your goals and ride pain free!

Last week several of our staff had the opportunity Last week several of our staff had the opportunity to attend the nation's largest Physical Therapy Conference put on by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

Taking place in San Diego, the Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) brings the Physical Therapy profession together to network, collaborate and advance their education and professional skills. Dr. Brian Adams, Dr. Brittani Bennett, Madeline Sciarini and Heather Emke were able to learn about various topics including: endurance medicine with return to running/sport, treatment of tendon pathologies, working with the female athlete and so much more. Lots of knowledge and great takeaways to bring back to the clinic! 

Our team also connected with some familiar faces as well as took a little time to explore the beautiful city of San Diego! 😎
