More Knowledge Can Lead You to A Better Life

WANT TO BE FREE TO ENJOY LIFE'S ADVENTURES?

The Air Force brought me many invaluable experiences and some pretty epic opportunities.  When I was a freshman in college, I was selected for an elite training program - the opportunity to train and earn my Jump Wings.  Yep, skydiving!   I had told myself if I was selected, then I was meant to go.  So, I did.  

My roommate was selected, too.  We were scheduled to go at the same time.  How freaking cool is that?!  We were put in the same small group & were in the same plane for all our jumps. It was exciting & frightening at the same time!  

The nerves continued to build as our first jump approached. All the other groups had already had their first jump the day prior, but we had to postpone due to weather. Talk about anticipation and suspense! 

It was finally our time to jump.  I was scheduled to jump before my roommate.  When I climbed to the airplane door & positioned myself in the preparatory position, I zoned in.  It was just about doing what I had been trained for.  About doing what I went there for.  I was trained by the best, had the best equipment for the job & been given all the preparation I needed.  I trusted my training, I trusted myself, I trusted God. And out I went… 

After we both safely landed and gathered our chutes, I remember exactly what my roommate said to me.  “Girl, I wasn’t sure I could get myself to do it.  But, when I saw you go, I knew I could.”  That’s been my position in life, quite honestly.  And a major contributor to where I am today. 

I recognize next level opportunities, obtain the training I need to take me there, trust myself, take the lead ... and jump!  This is the secret to living at your highest potential.  

Do you want the freedom to elevate your life experiences?

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings (Part 3)

So far, we have discussed the consequences of OVER STRETCHING and the role of the NERVOUS SYSTEM in treating and preventing hamstring injuries. Now it's time to dive in to the ROTATIONAL component of our hamstrings. We cannot treat the hamstring group in just one plane of motion. Look at the diagram and notice that there are some hamstring muscles that attach to the inside (medial) side of the knee, and others that attach to the outside (lateral) side of the knee. When working together, the medial and lateral hamstrings will act in a coordinated manner to bend the knee and extend the hip. Individually, the medial hamstrings turn the thigh inward (Internal Rotation or IR) and the lateral hamstrings turn the thigh outward (External Rotation or ER). This means that the hamstrings are also a crucial player in side-to-side and rotational movements. On the same lines, the hamstrings will act at the upper attachment at the pelvis. The med...

We Are ALL Asymmetrical - Why it Matters

Have you noticed a harder time with your front splits on one side? Or maybe it’s always been a struggle for you to get your turn-out on one side? No matter how much you stretch and strengthen, you will not achieve symmetry without compensation (which leads to injury). Here’s why … Our bodies are NOT symmetrical! Take a look at these images of different systems in our bodies. Notice how NONE of them are exactly the same on the left as the right. Illustration from Anatomy & Physiology, Connexions Website.

SoftWave Therapy - The Latest Technology in Regenerative Medicine

There is a new "secret weapon" hitting the Medical and Performance industries - SoftWave Therapy. It is the latest technology in Regenerative Medicine and has been tested extensively in Europe for the past decade. Recently making it's way into the U.S., SoftWave is quickly taking hold. We have been seeing exciting results with this device in our office over the past months, both immediate and long-term. Read on for a summary of what makes SoftWave so unique and effective! What is SoftWave? Softwave Therapy essentially “tricks” the body into thinking a fresh trauma has occurred. A series of pulses are applied to painful areas, which thin the cell membranes and alert the brain. This kick-starts the natural healing process without actually causing trauma . This response includes releasing RNA, attracting Stem Cells, increasing circulation, modulating inflammation, releasing growth factors involved in tissue regeneration, and formi...
