The common denominator of
ALL elite athletes!
by Dr.
Of course, hard work and good coaches are common among
good athletes. But in my practice as a sports chiropractor and in my
training with many pro athletes and trainers, one factor is common with all of
them. Elite athletes have incredibly strong abdominal and core muscle
groups. Those are the muscles from our upper legs to just below our rib
cage. All of our power in sport comes from our core. All of our
balance and speed also comes from the core. In addition to athletic
performance, people who suffer with back pain have weak,
under-developed core muscles, guaranteed! In my office, I insist on
our patients developing strong, superior abdominal muscles in their
core.
There are many ways to develop core muscle
strength, from exercise balls to sit ups, push ups, yoga, pilates,
etc. The purpose of this message is not to teach specific techniques but
to emphasize the importance of strong core muscles. Research confirms this
principle. I feel so strong about this principle that I even changed the
name of my clinic to CORE Chiropractic.
Our office is open 6 days a week, 8am to 8pm. We
are located in
In health, Dr.
PS Strong abs also helps you look good on
the deck!

Can You “Feel the
Water”?
“FEEL-GOOD
SWIMMING”
The goal of a “feel good” swim is to make the sensations
you get on a hard set feel good, rather than bad. The idea of “feel good” is to experience the sensations
you get when swimming hard in a new and non-threatening
light.
When you think about it- the only
thing that makes a hard set feel bad is when you think it “hurts”. The sensations themselves
can easily be interesting or even pleasant. When you perceive them as
unpleasant, it is because you think they “hurt”.
You feel them. They catch your
attention. They can be intense. But they don’t have to hurt or be
experienced as painful if you label them otherwise and understand that there is
no impending or actual biological damage. These sensations will signal
biological growth through adaptation.
Experience the discomfort as
something good. Make it a “feel-good” experience. Seek out
these sensations. Make them happen. Notice them. Then, make a
point to adapt to this new “feel-good” style in your
swimming.
What sensations do you feel when your
hands go through the water? Are you manipulating water efficiently?
1. Feel your
hands.
Try inserting your hands into
the oncoming flow instead
of “attacking” the water and trying
to push the water directly backwards.
2. Wrap the
Flow.
After feeling the oncoming
flow – wrap the flow around the arm by gradually rotating your hand and forearm.
The maximum elbow bend should reach
approximately 90 degrees and should be comfortable to you-
If you need to- adjust the amount of
elbow bent to suit your style.
3. Think
momentum.
Your desired stroke timing depends to
a great extent on your speed.
Use your entry hand as a guiding
sensory to judge the desired timing of your
stroke.
