I've been a road cyclist for 17 years and searched for the best equipment and fit. Despite hiring a coach, my body began to suffer, resulting in neck, back, knee, and hip pain. I tried chiropractic care, yoga, and physical therapy, but nothing offered lasting relief. I learned from a bike fitter that my right leg was shorter than my left, which explained some discomfort. Feeling frustrated, I reached out to Ted Dardzinski, a fellow cyclist who offered a different approach.
During my first session with him in my living room, I experienced alignment in my hips for the first time, without any manipulation. Following The TEDD Method after each ride has kept me aligned and pain-free. The next day on the bike was fantastic; I felt powerful and recovered. After a year of working with Ted and adding a strengthening program, I no longer live in pain. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking more than temporary relief.
Thank you, Ted, for changing my life!

Although my full-time job involves overseeing Ted, I am also a client with a personal story.
I started my athletic career at 30, having no sports background during school, which led to a severe back injury. I trained with one of the world’s top female triathletes, but by my third year, I developed issues with my knees and suffered herniated discs. Doctors suggested an epidural or surgery and told me I’d never run again.
Desperate for help, I visited Pete Egoscue at his clinic after Ted recommended him. Pete assured me my back wasn’t the real issue, and I decided to commit to his program. After months of perseverance, I returned to running and biking, eventually winning my first race, the Camp Pendleton Mud Run.
To this day, I race and train in mountain biking, adapting my routines to fit my lifestyle. While I sometimes find the workout routines time-consuming, I genuinely believe I improve each year. Ted and I were fortunate to discover this program, which changed our lives and led me to become a certified personal trainer and start our TEDD Training Center.
It has been an incredible journey!

My husband started working with Ted on The TEDD Method for his lower back pain, and I could see the positive impact. After he suggested it, I had my first appointment with Ted, who created a personalized plan for me.
Over the past year, I've seen significant progress, and Ted consistently adjusts my routines to enhance my mobility and strength. I do my exercises almost daily at home, and we've bought a few props that are easy to take on trips. Thanks to TEDD, I can enjoy biking, hiking, and skiing.
I highly recommend it!

I love bicycle racing, especially cyclocross and gravel racing. Last year (2016), I struggled with lower back pain. I felt fine on easy rides but pushing harder made my back seize up, leading to a DNF in my favorite race, The Crusher in the Tushar.
During cyclocross season, I spoke with Ted about my back issue. He confidently said he could help if I followed his program. After a month, I could race hard again without back tightness. I continued the program through winter while skiing and noticed much less soreness than usual.
My lower back pain was gone when bike racing season returned in spring. I tackled steep climbs quickly, and my gravel racing season was a success. Ted increased the intensity of the workouts, and I added strength training alongside stretches. I feel stronger on the bike and look forward to a great cyclocross season this fall.
Thank you, Ted!

After a bike crash last January, I was fortunate to discover Ted and TEDD (Therapeutic Exercise Design and Development, Inc.). Ted’s approach to recovery isn’t about quick fixes; it focuses on lifelong health and improving the entire body. His program identified my problem areas and provided a clear, systematic way to strengthen my weaknesses, helping me to become a better athlete. I love how in tune I’ve become with my body, and I appreciate the tailored exercise programs that allow me to customize my routine based on my daily needs.
TEDD is not just about receiving orders; it promotes a transformative lifestyle that balances body and mind.
Thank you, TEDD!
