MX Doctor Brings Health & Well-Being Message to Action Sports Market While Keeping Motocross Riders in the Race

Dr. Sanders and the Sanders Clinic have been the official healthcare provider of the Houston Supercross for two years now and in 2005 entered into a partnership agreement with internationally revered rider Jeff Dement, who took 11th place a the recent Daytona Supercross and 10th in the Orlando Supercross that followed.

Dr. Sanders, now known as "the motocross doc," also entered into a sponsorship agreement with top BMX rider and '97 UCI Elite World Champion John "The Jackal" Purse in an ongoing effort to educate athletes of these year-round action sports about the importance of balanced strength training, proper treatment and injury reconditioning for long and successful careers.

As an avid rider himself, Dr. Sanders is attracting the attention of athletes from other more extreme sports by returning BMX pros Jason Carnes and Warwick Stevens to competition only months after ACL reconstructions.



Purse and Sanders Clinic fitness trainer Ed Nepveux are working to establish a program geared specifically towards the BMX, mountain bike and road-racing athlete.

"Dr. Sanders' passion for our sport is evident. He understands athletes and doesn't even try to discourage us from doing the sport we love - like we hear too often. He's out there riding and doing all kinds of sports himself, and he gets it," says motocross racer Adam Hamza, former Sanders Clinic patient.
