The "If Only" Man...

We have all seen and heard them before..those lonely old guys in the pub,crying in to their pints of beer and telling anyone that will listen how good they used to be. The Man who constantly looks back to a lost past and fails to see a bright future.The "If Only" Men..those who bemoan the fact that they never took their chances in life,and now live with regret.
Don't be that "If Only" person

I see it far too often nowadays with Rugby players that I've been, and continue to be associated with. The Man who promises so much but fails to deliver.

And yet they don't realise that when their time is up and the body is no longer the machine that it once was,that there is no going back. They cannot relive any glory days and they will constantly live with the "If Onlys."

"If Only I'd trained harder..listened to advice..partied less..focused more..dedicated myself to fulfilling my potential..."

The "If Onlys" are limitless and can eat away at you.

My advice to everyone in all walks of life is to seize the moment..seize the opportunity and to ride it for all it is worth. Listen and learn and be the best you can be and don't make excuses. If it is important to you,you will find a way.If not,you will find an excuse.

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.
