Do you know the three bite rule of your vice? 
1st bite - you enjoy; 
2nd bite - you enjoy even more because your taste buds have been primed; 
3rd bite - your taste buds are usually over stimulated and therefore you usually do not get the same reward on the third bite. 

So enjoy the 1st 2 bites and then take note of the third. Once you do not enjoy the bites anymore why continue if you originally consumed it for enjoyment? 

Good psychology trick!

For a team of powerful and dynamic females.

Arranged a fire 🔥 walk at the practice tonight...

Every muscle-tendon-ligament complex in the body should be a certain length of flexibility and hold a certain tension of strength. 

Every muscle-tendon-ligament complex should work within their range of flexibility and strength in conjunction and ratios with all other muscle-tendon-ligament complexes around the body. 

Complicated right?

You change the length and tension somewhere it will have an impact elsewhere. 

To correct it you have to find the area of dysfunction-interference and its associates; understand it and clear it out using the correct stretch or strenghthing excercise. 

Weak muscle-tendon-ligament must be strengthened; short muscle-tendon-ligament must be stretched. 

Strong muscle-tendon-ligament must be inhibited; long muscle-tendon-ligament must be contracted. 

Are you rehabilitating correctly?

In Chiropractic philosophy we understand that the body is intelligent, self-healing and self-regulating...

but because humans do not necessarily and always provide the body with what it requires, the body has to compensate and protect itself. This is the intelligence of the body making the best decision with limited resources. The longer the body compensates for the greater the impact on the body, unfortunately and the great the body has to protect and compensate further. 

This is where the likes of autoimmune issues proliferate from because the body's only option at that point is to attack itself... All the while trying to scream for the human to do something different and to provide the body with what it requires! 

Please let me know if you want a article on what the body requires in order to function correctly. 

Do something different

Therapeutic Massage

Placebo is a treatment or substance that had no physiological benefit but often positively affects how patients perceive their condition and encourage the body's chemical processes for relieving of symptoms. 

Nomcebo is the same as Placebo but instead there is a negative effect on symptoms. 

Both are psychogenic but have profound physiological effects. 

Is your psychology helping or hindering your healing process? 

Interesting thought process

Features of Spinal Subluxations

This is our last full week in the practice; if you need an adjustment make sure it is this week! 

At this time of the year I recommend spending time reflecting on the year you had:
1) What were the wins?
2) What did you make mistakes on?
3) What did you learn? 
4) What were you grateful for? 

I love this general contemplation. I will spend a few days, week or so thinking about this and journaling my thoughts. Thereafter I will read back and this starts the thought process which leads into my focuses and plans for 2020. 

Remember nothing goes according to plans but plans direct your focus and energy! 

Have a Great Week!
