Future Champ spotted?

i’m 50, broke my L scaphoid 8 weeks ago, first injury in 23 years… my wife thinks i’m silly for sitting on my motorcycle (still dirty from the last ride/wreck) with the same look as the little boy on my face. Just this morning i said i’m going to cut this cast off myself soon, i need out of this thing and i need to go riding! She just gave me that look … you know THAT look 😂

The bad news for you, BVM, is that it will take approximately 7 weeks longer for you to heal (8 weeks) than it will for that kid (6.5 days.)

oh i know … the last injury 23 years ago was my right scaphoid and it was a bastard to heal, took almost a year after an initial non union and necrosis 🤨

Look into hyperbaric oxygen therapy to speed up healing and promote blood flow in areas it's limited. 

Can rent or buy a soft-chamber to use at your house. Worth looking into if your budget allows. Most of the SX/MX pros use them. 

https://airorecovery.com/ is a long time moto dude Ian Runyon, he would be worth calling and talking to. 

https://www.oxyhealth.com/ is one of the first in the soft-sided chamber game. Overpriced nowadays but they've beenb around a long, long time. 

Google mild hyperbaric and go down the rabbit hole. PM me with any specific questions. I started a distribution company of these chambers in 2017 - sold my shares to an unethical business parter and got out the business so I obviously won't link you to their site. Worked with the leading doctors in the space and introduced HBOT to the sport with Aldon Baker and his team at the time: Cooper Webb, Jason Anderson, Zach Osborne and Marvin Musquin. I've seen some pretty crazy results and truly believe in it. 

Breathwork, ice bath/sauna, rope flow, grounding, sunrise/sunset, quality natural foods, and yin yoga will go a long ways. Float tanks are an extremely efficient tool to get a variety of benefits as well.

Most western humans' nervous system are in a chronic state of stress (fight or flight mode). MXers are at the pointy end of that. 

The body is carrying unreal amounts of tension and nothing will "heal" until the programming is retrained to feel safe. The mind is wired for more and to always be productive. burnout.

Slowing down and establishing a mind/body connection is how you find balance and heal.
