True to my commitment, I followed through on my attempt at yoga. Pearl Street Yoga was a blast. I arrived a little early to class so I could scope the place out. There is only one room and a small office area. I laid out my newly purchased mat, and waited patiently, hoping that the class wasn’t going to be filled with hardcore yogi’s. To my surprise, everyone was relatively normal!
As an avid soccer fan, I have been enjoying the games of the 2010 World Cup. After playing soccer for eight years, I know all of the injuries and pains that these athletes can suffer from training, practice, and games. It made me wonder which of my favorite players utilize chiropractic care and what they had to say about it. After a bit of research, I found that not only do many soccer players have a team chiropractic physician, but adjustments are many times a part of their game-day routine! In fact, one of my favorite US soccer players, Landon Donovan, said that he enjoys chiropractic treatment before games to maximize his performance and recommends chiropractic care to anyone wanting to get the most out of their workouts and feel their best. Who could blame them for wanting for feel their best? I bet our doctors at Washington Park Chiropractic would love to treat Donavon whenever he is in Denver!
I started working in the wellness industry when I was still a teenager. I began working as a receptionist in a massage therapy center in Pennsylvania, and that experience sparked my interest in health, healing and the body. As I got older, I remained passionate about holistic health, and now I’ve been in the industry for well over a decade. But the one question I keep coming back to year after year is, “Why is it so easy for me to give out great advice or information to my clients, but so hard for me to follow myself?”. I do massage almost every day, and I spend all day telling my clients how important it is to take time for themselves and treat their bodies well, but have a hard time taking my own advice – it makes me wonder, why is it so easy to take care of everyone and everything else, but so hard to make oneself a priority?
