Mike Malaska sits down with the Owner and Managing Partner of Rotex Motion, Dr. Joe LaCaze. Joe is an expert in the motion fitness arena. Mike and Joe met this year at the PGA National Coaching Summit, where they were both speakers. Joe, a former Navy Seal of 22 years, had decided to retire due to the damage his body has taken. Thirty-five hundred jumps from planes, landings, concussions, a hurt back, and sciatica have taken their toll on Joe’s body. The Navy wanted to do an intense operation on his back, but Joe decided it was time to move on. He decided his next step was to become a Dr. of Chiropractic, and Joe spent the next 20 years figuring out everything about the body. In 2007, Joe had a back-related sciatica episode that was nearly suicidal. This was Joe’s tipping point, and he decided he would figure out his injuries. Fifteen years later, Joe has no back problems and can even hit 500 golf balls a day, and this is without surgery! One of Mike’s mentors and business partners, Pete Egoscue, a former Marine, had a similar story to Joe. He had been shot and was told he would not walk again. Pete, like Joe, became a fitness expert and defied all odds by figuring out how to walk, run, and have no back pain without surgery. Joe met Pete Egoscue while working with Jack Nicklaus in San Diego. This coincidently was when Mike was working with Pete and his fitness group. Pete has been a big influence on what Joe has accomplished.
