Consistent Progress

During these rainy days I spend time riding my trainer, its a bit boring.To cut the boredom I do what most people do, peruse the internet for interesting content. I came across this video of World Cup Downhill cyclist Aaron Gwin. In the video Aaron is riding his local Californian trails, very fast and very smooth. There is section of the video where it shows him riding the same trails from 10 years ago. It had me laugh, the older bikes, narrow handlebars , the technology and riding style is so much different looking, its much less efficient. This is what had me thinking about how slow consistent progress really matters, did the riders know back then how much better the whole cycling world would become? The drive to improve raised every rider and every bike to be faster, smoother and better. The progress was consistent. How does this translate to your own training? Your own rehabilitation. When I apply this to the Range Physiotherapy clinic and the community I serve, it gets me excited to think of the progress in treatment, connecting with people and helping them consistently progress. Its what makes physiotherapy what it is.
