Getting started

My first post. I guess we all have to start somewhere :)

I'm Re-Inventing myself in 2015. I've been leading what seems to be a 'double life'...Chiropractor and Health and Wellness Advisor by day in my "job" and semi-professional Rugby Coach and Lecturer/Presenter at other times,as well as attempting to commit 100% to my core role as a Husband and Father.

Over the years , I've learnt to appreciate the art of public speaking,firstly while offering Health Classes in my Clinic to all new patients,and secondly as a Rugby Coach, directing trainings and delivering messages to my players. This has evolved,to a point where I stood in front of my peers at a Chiropractic conference and delivered a well received presentation on the state of the profession. This  then led to further presentations to other corporate entities on the benefits of Chiropractic care and on Health in general and in defining the term "Wellness".

In Rugby, I delivered a National 7s Championship to North Harbour, when my side won the National title in 2009. This led me to be appointed the inaugural Course Facilitator for the first '7s Coaches Course' at the world renowned IRANZ in Palmerston North, teaching and presenting to 7s Rugby Coaches from around the world.

In short, I've now realised that my two passions,Chiropractic and Rugby,can and should be combined. My knowledge as a Doctor of Chiropractic and my skills as a top level Rugby Coach can be used together to educate,motivate and inspire others to lead a healthy lifestyle,set and achieve goals and to ensure that they become the absolute best that they can be.

Rather than be caught leading my 'double life' ,I'm determined to combine the tools of both,to help and inspire others.

This is the beginning.

Your future is determined by your present actions. All the groundwork that you do now,will reap you the rewards tomorrow.Be disciplined in how you treat your body,and in turn your body will serve you well. It is never too late to change your lifestyle,but remember that making changes to your diet,exercise routine and mental state of mind should become a habit and not a fad. Surround yourself with like minded people and live the life that you deserve. Chiropractic healthcare is just a small part of the big picture,but it is an essential part. Healthy functioning joints,releasing of muscular tension and correct transmission of nervous impulses contribute to a healthy functioning nervous system and a body that works as it is designed to work. HEALTHcare and not SICKness care. Being PRO-active to your health and not RE-active to a symptom. Enjoy this short video...it may change you forever smile emoticon

The Power of Chiropractic

Image
Chiropractic is far more than just "clicking bones" and "aligning the spine." Chiropractic is about achieving the optimal potential of the body,and ensuring that there is no nerve interference. When the body can work as it is designed to,then many 'symptoms' take care of themselves. This is why I refer to my favourite phrase of "finding the cause rather than treat a symptom." Bed wetting is a great example of that. I have had many young children over the years who have been brought in to me to 'treat' bed wetting. I don't claim to heal patients of any condition,including bed wetting. But what I do claim is this. I'll 'adjust' the spine and relieve the spine of any mechanical dysfunction and any spastic musculature,that could possibly be impinging on the nervous system. I'll deliver specific adjustments to a specific bone and move it in a specific direction. Once the nervous system dysfunction has been addressed

Create the fear then retract it

“Government responses should focus on detecting and isolating infected people with symptoms, the World Health Organization said.”  https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/08/asymptomatic-coronavirus-patients-arent-spreading-new-infections-who-says.html?fbclid=IwAR2r5WPKxZUVIyVWb1Pqt2Z8pkI3w7iEL05baC_mJ51UhyD4eYQjJbRh_4Q "From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said at a news briefing from the United Nations agency's Geneva headquarters. "It' s very rare." Very convenient to create the fear then try and retract it now.
