Mike – A Standing Veteran and Dedicated Athlete

mikesavicki-racingchair-fall2008In 2009 we celebrated EasyStand’s 20th Birthday, we felt that an important part of this milestone was to share some stories of customers who have been standing for several years.

A few weeks later, I received a story from Mike Savicki, a quadriplegic and veteran who has been standing for over 18 years!  How perfect, I thought.  Mike has such a great philosophy on life and a strong drive to succeed.  He uses his EasyStand standing frame as part of his healthy dedication to staying physically fit. Mike explains how standing fits into his training, “I’m a pretty dedicated athlete and see the crossover benefits of standing in sports such as marathoning, hand-cycling and swimming. My muscles stay stretched and loose and the added benefits of a stronger heart aids in my quickness and endurance. Standing is as much a part of my training as weights, cardio, stretching, diet and nutrition.”
