Cardinal Mooney senior wins state gold due to cryotherapy

If a 2nd place finish at the 2016 state weightlifting meet wasn’t devastating enough for Dillon O’Neill, what occurred on March 15th, was a close second in its own right.  “So towards the beginning of weightlifting season I was bench pressing and I probably overworked it. My shoulder went a little bit and started hurting,” says Cardinal Mooney senior Dillon O’Neill.

10 days before the regional meet, O’Neill thought his dream was over. But then. “I heard about cryotherapy through cross fit which I was doing to perfect my form in the clean jerk and I gave it a try and it helped me and brought down the inflammation in my shoulder and helped me recovery faster. So instead of waiting three days to bench press again I could do it every other day,” says O’Neill.

After his first day he knew this was the best chance he had to get back in the weight room. “The next day he came in right away and was like, I want to do this. And, you know, he was like I need to do this every day. I’m trying to get to a next level. I’m trying to make sure I do it in a progression instead of trying to just jump at it. So I said let’s do it, let’s put you on a plan,” says Owner of Hyd8 Fernando Vega.
That plan led him to lifting a combined 695 pounds with 405 on the bench press and 290 on the clean and jerk. Which, as you can imagine, is no easy task. “It definitely takes away the soreness because I wake up the next day and don’t feel any pain,” says O’Neill.

Fast forward a month after the injury and first cryotherapy treatment, O’Neill is a state champion weightlifter. Not only did he out lift his entire weight class by 25 pounds but he actually lifted 5 pounds less in the state meet than the regional. All thanks to a little research and help from a local business.

“It was great I put 4 years into the sport and I was finally able to come out on top,” says O’Neill. “Being part of his recovery that makes me and makes us feel great. You know we treat every patient, every client that walks through this door not as a client, but as a family member,” says Vega.
