Ball training and sailing - Wow
Chiropractors for years have accepted that ball training is awesome. It’s something I certainly recommend for someone who is sedentary, like most of Seattle’s chiropractors, we see a lot of patients who sit at a computer all day long. I know I do working in Downtown Seattle! I usually recommend ball exercses to almost all of my patients, telling them to lay over the ball and let gravity stretch them out. However, sailors are a different breed… they need to do extended sit-ups to hike their weight out from the boat. That’s why I was so suprised to see this picture on Sailing Anarchy.com, with top Laser sailors using the ball for better balance on the boat.
You can see that this is a really small boat.. It’s pretty ingenious to try and use it for sailing, and gets tme to thinking what other sports it could be incorporated into. Bowling? Tennis? Seems like sailing may be the only one I can think of! Cool, nonetheless.
Subject: C2 Vertebrae - Muscle Atrophy
In 2001, I fractured my C2 vertebrae in two places, as well as my skull in three. In the past couple of years, I have noticed that in my right side, I am experiencing muscle atrophy of my neck, shoulder, arm and hand.
I am wondering, what do I do? Will it continue to shrink, or is there any way I could fix it? Any kind of information you can give me, or any websites or resources you could refer me to would be greatly appreciated.
Answer: You need to get checked out immediately. Atrophy is serious, and can indicate something far more insidious. I don't want to scare you, but I do want you to schedule an appointment with your local neurologist ASAP!!!!
As for online resources for your condition... it may be better to actually get evaluated instead of figuring it out on your own. Having an actual diagnosis would be far better than guessing about it on the net. If you need help finding a neurologist please access me through my website, www.dynamicclinic.com.
