I’ve had several comments on my last entry about martial arts. People want to know more. Needless to say, I love getting comments on my writing because that’s how I know you’re getting great information.
One of my practice members who is very active in several martial arts asked me how my services here at Vibrant Potential could be of use to her in her training. GREAT QUESTION.
Right off the bat, let me say that there is way too much information for me to cover in a single email. If you’re interested in more information, email me and we can arrange a group discussion and demonstration.
Greater Performance
If you’re into sparring, if you have a competitive streak, or if you just like to do your best at whatever you do - kinesiology can help. What I do is help your body restore harmony to all systems of the body, particularly the neuromusculoskeletal system. (That’s a quick way of saying, nerves, muscles, and bones.)
The Body Breaks Down from the Inside-Out
Here’s a question for you - if you were woken up by the fire alarm what would you do? Would you say, “stupid alarm” and take out the battery and go back to bed? I don’t think so. You’d grab the kids and get the heck out of there! The ironic thing is that when it comes to health, most people are simply “taking the batteries out”. In other words, treating the symptom. Seriously think about this. Isn’t your health your most precious commodity? This is why athletes of all sorts, martial artists not withstanding, find great benefit in my care.
You see, the whole body is one connected unit. Muscles are correlated to organ function. One example I see all the time is a stressed out liver. The liver is correlated to the pectoralis (chest) muscle. Just think if you’re pecs aren’t firing (contracting) correctly. How are you going to be able to throw a powerful punch? How about benching? How about swimming? And that’s just the liver!
The trick is to bring balance to the organs and the nervous system so that the rest of the body can work and use energy. Just think if you’re body is using 90% of it’s energy to digest food. Do you think you’ll be able to spar longer, run faster, jump higher, etc. if you become more efficient at digesting food so you can use that extra energy in your sport? Hmmm…
Prevent Injuries and Recover Faster
The fact is it’s more effective to prevent injuries than recover from them. The fabulous thing about kinesiology is that if you’re doing it proactively you will have fewer injuries because you’re going into a sparring match (or any activity) in complete harmony. Usually an athletic injury is from something that doesn’t seem like it’s that big of a deal but the person with the injury was set up for it.
Here’s what I mean.
Picture this. You’re in class and there is a whole row of people from white belts to black belts practicing front kicks. Your instructor is shouting numbers in Korean… Hanna, Dul, Set, Net… Suddenly, the guy next to you crumples to the floor grasping at his ankle.
What happened? Why was everyone else okay but he injured himself? Well, let’s say the muscles on the outside of his leg were being inhibited so when he put his foot down he wasn’t able to compensate correctly and BOOM - down he goes.
Total Body Wellness
What does all this mean for you? If you are in martial arts, any other sport, or simply want to be able to get the most out of a workout and feel great than kinesiology is for you.
I know that this is new information for some of you so I propose a test. If you call 952-224-2909 or email me within two weeks of receiving this email I will give you an exam ABSOLUTELY F-R-E-E!! The reason I’m willing to do this is so you can experience the awesome benefits of kinesiology with absolutely no r.isk.
I know you’ll love it! I’ll see you soon.
Oh, and one last thing, everyone that wants vibrant health can benefit from this. If you know anyone that might be interested in feeling younger and full of life forward this email on to them. They can take advantage of the same offer. They will thank you for it and so will I.
Helping you reach YOUR Vibrant Potential,
