Next Level Yoga Practice

May 6, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

At 14 years old I was diagnosed with scoliosis during a routine health screening at school. Throughout the years following, mid to low back pain became an ongoing issue. As a hairstylist in my twenties, standing up for hours at a time on a concrete floor with minimal support led to excruciating back pain due to the compression of the spinal vertebrae. It was during this time I realized I needed to find relief.

I began my search for reprieve and natural healing for the pain I tolerated daily. I was unable to lie down, stand or even sit for extended periods of time without experiencing some sort of discomfort. At times my back pain would cause me to wake up from sleeping, unable to find comfort and go back to sleep. During this time I started seeing a chiropractor, however I did not remain consistent with the care. To be honest, I thought it was a scam having to see the chiropractor 2-3 times a week for at least 6 weeks. Keep reading and you’ll see why I was wrong.

While learning about the anatomy and physiology of the human body years later in massage school, I began assessing myself as a patient. This newfound knowledge and awareness guided me to yoga as a way to take control and be proactive in my healing process.

However, although I enjoyed practicing yoga, indoor cycling was my thing at the time. It made me feel good, but after realizing the postural misalignment cycling can cause on the neck, shoulders, and back, I decided to focus more on yoga. With consistent practice, I began to notice results. As I became more aware of the needs of my body, and more in-tune to the subtleties it was communicating to me, I found I really appreciated the feedback my body was providing with each vinyasa, and each breath before, during and after practice. It wasn’t until I fell down several flights of stairs at home, that I began experiencing consistent neck and hip pain. I knew I had whiplash and that my hip pain was injured from the impact as well. The pain was probably compounded from years prior of being in two car accidents where I was hit from behind, and a trampoline injury where I attempted (and failed) at doing a backflip and landed on my neck.

When I learned about The 100 Year Lifestyle, and the importance of a healthy spine and nervous system, I decided to give chiropractic care another chance and not settle for the limitations and discomfort that had built up over time. Their office was located in the same building as Nava Sen Spa (the massage studio that I work at).

Not only did I appreciate the wisdom, science and expertise, the purpose and benefits of chiropractic care became increasingly clear to me. I should have paid more attention early as I pleasantly surprised how much it resonated with me. After only a few adjustments, and now with Lifestyle Care, I continue to notice:

  • A decrease in overall neck and hip pain
  • No more numbness or tingling down my arm in certain yoga poses
  • More flexibility in my upper and low back
  • My hips adjust naturally
  • More openness in my chest doing heart openers
  • Greater lung capacity
  • Increase in flexion during backbends
  • More awareness of the subtle energies within my body
  • More ease in spinal twists
  • Greater energy flow between the energy centers (aka “chakras”) along the spine during meditation
  • An increase in my desire to practice more
  • More mental clarity, peace of mind and emotional stability
  • Faster recovery in Savasana
  • Better alignment in yoga poses
  • An increase in desire to consume better, healthier food

With these observations, I’ve decided that living my 100 Year Lifestyle is important to me and chiropractic care is one of the greatest investments for my health I could make. I wish I would have found this sooner! Now, I look forward to my adjustments and my body craves optimum alignment and healthy nerve supply! My 17 year old son, a high level high school basketball player, has had phenomenal results as well, healing quickly from a knee injury and getting back on the court quickly. He hasn’t had any issues, pain or swelling since getting started with care.

I am excited to continue exploring and discovering the many health benefits of practicing yoga supported by chiropractic care for many years to come. I no longer suffer from scoliosis, and I’m beyond grateful. Thank you to The 100 Year Lifestyle message and the education about the importance of chiropractic care!! Not only am I pain-free, I’m a better yogi too!

It’s never too late to begin practicing yoga or take your practice to your next level. Along with chiropractic care and massage therapy, it can help you live your ideal 100 Year Lifestyle. Schedule your appointment today!

The 100 Year Lifestyle Defined

December 4, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Centenarians, people who are living to 100 or more, are one of the world’s fastest growing age groups. Living to 80, 90, and above has become the norm. Will knowing that you may live a century or more lend urgency to your desire to change the way you approach your lifestyle? Will you choose a 60 or 70 year lifestyle and suffer the consequences along the way or will live your ideal 100 Year Lifestyle and make the most of every day along the way?

The 100 Year Lifestyle Defined

WHAT IT IS…

  • Living a healthy, passionate, prosperous life, every day of your life, for 100 years and beyond
  • Great relationships with multiple generations and multiple circles of people
  • Lifelong learning, activity and adventure
  • Keeping your nervous system functioning without interference so you can adapt to your environment and function at your full potential
  • Financial freedom, abundance and independence
  • The perfect balance of exploration, play time and fun combined with meaningful work
  • Maximizing your innate capabilities and making the most of your time, energy and talents
  • Keeping your spine and nervous system working without interference so you can adapt to your environment and function at your full potential,
  • Keeping your body functioning at full capacity and keeping your mind sharp
  • Accepting challenges, embracing change and adapting to the unexpected
  • Balancing the need for immediate gratification and a secure future
  • Trusting yourself. Yours to customize.

WHAT IT IS NOT…(The 60-70 year lifestyle)

  • Rotting away as a human preservative in a nursing home
  • Abusing your body, masking symptoms with drugs, and then continuing to abuse yourself until one organ after the other has to be removed or replaced
  • All work and no play
  • Abusive relationships or isolation
  • Financial survival for 35 years and then barely squeaking by on Social Security and Medicare
  • Insignificant retirement where you become a meaningless number in a long line of an outdated system
  • Wearing out your body in the first 50 years and then suffering the consequences during the second 50 years
  • Accumulating wealth in the first 50 years and destroying relationships along the way, leaving you nobody to share it with
  • Creating wealth at the price of your health
  • Denying yourself the good things in life

Everyone deserves to be healthy and express their full potential from the time they are born through their last breath of life. Having a healthy spine and nervous system is crucial to living your ideal 100 Year Lifestyle. We are proud to provide this for you.

Make the changes you know you need to make today, and make them your new lifestyle.

Baby Boomers vs. Their Parents

November 27, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Which Group is Healthier?
Unhealthy lifestyles have caused too many members of the Baby Boomer generation to be in worse health compared to their parents during the same stage of life.

A recent study in JAMA Internal Medicine reported only 13% of today’s baby boomers are in excellent health while their parents’ generation was 32%. Comparatively speaking, 39% of today’s baby boomers are obese and 16% have diabetes. The previous generation’s numbers for these same conditions are 29% and 12%, respectively.

According to Dana King, a professor at the West Virginia School of Medicine and the study’s lead author, today’s baby boomers are twice as likely to use a cane or walker than the previous generation. “It’s not too late to adopt new, healthy lifestyle habits and make a difference in your health,” said King.

Don’t Wait for a Crisis
What will it take for you to make the lifestyle changes you know you need to make to improve your quality of life? Will you wait for a severe crisis that leaves you with permanent damage and a future of disability or will you make a quality of life choice, a Lifestyle Care choice, that will ensure your quality of life for the remainder of your years?

Easy FitNESS Acronym to Remember
The acronym FitN2ESS can get you on the right track immediately. To get fit and stay healthy as you age, you need these five things: neurology, nutrition, endurance, strength, and structure.

Neurology: Every cell tissue and organ needs innervation, or nerve supply, to function properly.

Nutrition: Choose quality calories over empty calories every time you make a food choice and drink plenty of good clean water.

Endurance: Cardiovascular exercise (walking, running, riding a bike, swimming) will prepare you for the marathon of your extended life.

Strength: We have all seen an older person struggle to get out of a chair. Don’t wait until you lose your strength to try and get it back. Begin strength training now.

Structure: The health and function of your posture, spine, and nervous system will determine how active and healthy you can be as you age.

If your posture appears to be changing don’t waste another minute and schedule a chiropractic check-up. Lifestyle Care can improve your health dramatically. It is very important that today’s baby boomers learn from our current generation of seniors and super-seniors who were blindsided by their extended lives. You cannot blame your genes for your current health condition. Adjust your lifestyle and optimize the expression of your genes so that you can enjoy the quality life you deserve.
