Tim
Brabants K1 1000m Champion
We are proud to sponsor Tim Brabants,
current world champion and Olympic Champion in the K1 1000m.
Tim had already won himself a bronze medal in the Sydney Olympics
in 2000 at the 1000m distance, and this time was determined
to bring home a different colour!
Beijing Success
Tim's training has been full on and with careful preparation,
good nutrition and chiropractic care, Tim was on tip top form
for the summer Olympics and all the hard work paid off as
he powered his way to victory to take Olympic Gold.
Following the medal ceremony, Tim sent us this email:
Hi Craig, One down, one
to go. Still in shock after winning yesterday even though
I knew I was fast enough to and was one of the favourites,
it’s just a dream come true. Just wanted to quickly
say thank you very, very much for your generous support
over the last two years. You’ve been an essential part
of the team that has been behind me, getting me to this
stage. Really appreciate all your efforts. I’ll be in
to PCC soon after I get back with the medal (and another
one if I manage it in the 500 final). Again, many thanks.

Double medals
The next day Tim showed he is truly a force to be reckoned
with as he paddled his was to a bronze medal position, literally
cms off his Canadian rival in a thrilling race. When it counted,
Tim still had the strength to pull something out of the bag
at the end of the race, and his experience showed as he held
on and looked strong and confident to the last stroke.
Once the closing ceremony was over, the boats were all packed
up the althletes headed home. Tim sent us this from the BA
flight home!

We're going to have to
celebrate hard when I get back! You've been a great
part in helping me achieve this Olympic dream. Look
forward to seeing you all when I get back. Writing this
e-mail from the comfort of my first class seat on the
BA flight home. I am a lucky boy! See you soon, Tim. |

Tim Brabants and PCC
It was in 2006 that he began treatment at Putney Chiropractic
after years of punishing his body with the most unbelievable
training program that would make even the most active amongst
us cringe. You don’t want to know how much he bench
presses.
We have corrected years of postural challenges from being
hunched over the paddles and this has created extra flexibility,
reach and an end result of being more powerful and improved
recovery.
W e are proud to include Tim among our clients and friends.
For more pictures and regular updates on his progress, check

website.
