Fitness is your friend

For any athlete in any sport, being physically fit is a given. So when the call comes out for a 'fitness' session...why the glum faces ?

The battle hardened warriors soak up these sessions knowing that the pain is short lived and the gains are well worth it. Others are not so convinced.

"Do we have to? Its not 'fun' can't we do something else?"

But fitness is our friend. And once we understand that fitness will NEVER leave our side in our toughest times then we can learn to embrace fitness and cherish it. Because in those last few minutes of a big game when your lungs are burning and your chest is heaving, fitness will be on your shoulder helping you through. It will be in the depths of your mind pushing you to take that next step. It will be in the belly of your heart muscle pumping that blood through quicker then ever and it will always be helping you when you most need it.

Fitness never leaves your side unless you want it to. If you push fitness aside it will go. Slowly. But it will go.

But if you look after fitness and nurture it and mould it and shape it ,then it will be your best friend for life. It will be there through thick and thin, through sickness and in health and it will be there cheering you on when you win championships and titles and medals. Embrace fitness for it will never let you down.

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.
