Human Movement Program

Would you build your house on sand?

When a storm comes would your house survive?

Your body is that house and if you continue to train without addressing muscle imbalances in foot, ankle, knee, pelvic, and shoulder alignment you will become susceptible to injury. As we develop bad habits we develop poor mechanics which leads to over active and under active muscles also known as muscles imbalances. Ask yourself these questions:

When you run does your knee turn in or out?

When you stand does your pelvic tilt forward(anterior) or backward(posterior)?

Are you currently experiencing knee, hip, ankle pain?

Have you ever twisted your ankle?

Do your shoulders protract forward?

Have you ever injured yourself lifting an object?

Do you have balance issues?

If you said "Yes" to one or more of these questions than the Human Movement program is for you. In this program we do a movement assessment to diagnosis and provide the treatment for your muscle imbalances. This program looks at the whole body.

For example, you might say if I twisted my ankle why are you looking at my whole body. When we injure a part of our body for example the ankle we compensate and create muscle imbalances in our body which often go undetected. Eventually the compensation turns into a muscle imbalance which leads to an injury.

Our program is for every athlete or life athlete who wants to succeed. Athletes who train without addressing muscle imbalances are building their body with a weak foundation. With our scientific Human Movement Program we can assess and prescribe you the program needed to assist in relieving and preventing pain associated with:

* Tennis elbow
* Back pain
* Neck pain
* Shoulder pain
* Shin splints
* Plantar fasciitis
* Knee pain
* Patella tendonitis
* Achillies tendonitis
* Faulty alignment of Pelvis

By taking into account your lifestyle and job activities, we can provide a customized Human Movement Program to assist in relieving pain related to injuries or overuse.

80% of adults experience back pain, and often times pain gets in the way of an otherwise active individual's enjoyment of activities.

Many times, we find work-related actions to be the source of pain. Sitting at a desk or working on a computer for most of the day can lead to an overactive TFL and Iliotibial band. Lifting heavy objects, or standing for a prolonged period of time can lead to pain in unexpected areas. We work specifically with many professionals with proven results:

* Runner's
* Cyclist's (road, mountain, and BMX)
* Triathlete's
* Track and Field
* Team Sports

Dr. Krauthammer contributor to FOX

Dr. Krauthammer is an M.D. and a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children.

Last Monday was a profound evening; Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger or an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.

I have summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally. Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said.


Summary of his comments

1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton . He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES.

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada .

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth.. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 26,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada . By the way, Canada 's population is 1/10 of the US . Imagine how much rationing will occur to serve all US citizens and non-citizen residents.

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store.
But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse.. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's
happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late. Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children's futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding.
