CUSTOM FITNESS PROGRAM:

     We believe a gradual approach is the best approach for one to build a solid foundation in order to maximize overall health and fitness potential.

     We like to call this approach Everlasting Fitness because it is a process in which we help our patients develop a lifestyle to achieve optimum health and continue that way for life!

      It is a methodical transition integrating flexibility, cardio and resistance exercises to change your body without experiencing injury.

     During this process, chiropractic adjustments are given on a regular basis to enhance your results, keep your spine flexible and improve the function of your nerve system.

     We will work with you and give you the necessary techniques to correct your posture, your gait and your breathing.

     Also the development of sound eating habits and nutritional guidelines are worked into the program to increase your energy and help control your weight. Stress reduction therapies such as   massage, hypnotherapy, Qigong and other workshops are also included in the program.

     See Programs page for more information.

As the summer months approach we instinctively take advantage of the warmer weather   and get out to participate in recreational activities and exercise more often. Many injuries occur at this time of year because the muscles are not yet conditioned to accommodate for the increased activity. So warm-ups and stretches, when done the right way and at the right time are necessary to prepare our bodies for the increased demand. The muscles need to become 'loose' enough to accommodate for the added stress to the joints.

      Warm-ups can include light cardio like walking or stationary bike at a moderate pace to elevate the heart rate. Dynamic stretches too like lunges, arm swings or jumping jacks.  This will raise your body temperature to prepare for more vigorous activity.  It reduces injury and muscle pulls, improves performance and efficiency and increases speed of movement. It also decreases post muscle soreness by increasing oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, eliminating waste products and helps lubrication of joints.

      Stretching following exercise or later on in the day will maintain flexibility, help correct posture and help prevent restrictions to your range of motion.

     Also, the need for chiropractic care becomes increasingly important at this time to help improve coordination and balance, extend range of motion, restore function, achieve greater mental focus, increase energy, help mobilize already injured joints especially in the spinal column and to prevent joint deterioration and muscle atrophy.

NUTRITIONAL  NOTE:     Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty, cold water fish like salmon, sardines, herring, char, trout and nuts like walnuts, Brazil and pistachio have been shown to reduce the size of tumors and enhance the positive effects of some chemotherapy drugs.
     Omega-3 is a major component of brain gray matter and of the retina in most mammalian species and is considered essential for normal neurological and cellular developments. The researchers found that DHA (a component of Omega-3's) acts by reducing leukocytosis (white blood cell accumulation), systemic inflammation, and oxidative stress - all processes that have been linked with tumor growth.
