Discover Wellness With A Lakeland FL Chiropractor Who Can Provide Professional Advice


By Hector Calibugar


In selecting a chiropractor for wellness care, location is a valid consideration. Time is a precious commodity in our busy world. The second thing to consider is whether your philosophy regarding health care is comparable. A reference from a friend or relative is one possibility. Often you may be able to meet with a leading Lakeland FL Chiropractor for a consultation to help decide on your compatibility.

It must be someone you like and feel comfortable talking to. You should not be rushed in and out of the office. You definitely do not want to be talked down to as if you should not be expected to understand chiropractic terminology. It is up to him or her to provide technical knowledge while explaining what wellness care offers you.

First you will undergo a full evaluation of the state of health you are in. Using non-invasive methods the electrical activity in your muscles is measured. An instrument placed on the surface of the skin may be used. In the same way, your autonomic nervous system will be gauged.

A medical record of these assessments will be kept. In case you have an accidental injury in the future, this record will be helpful in planning rehabilitative care. Ask if he or she uses manual adjustments in the course of care. Or, you may want to allow the chiropractor to select the appropriate type of care. A good relationship leads to trust, which is very important.

Exercise is an important component of maintaining a healthy body. Professionally designed exercise regimens are offered to each client depending on age. Runners should always stretch before starting their run. For the older client, walking is an appropriate daily exercise.

You can maintain good health by eating the foods that are good for you. There may be supplements that are appropriate as well. It is always good to confirm that they are. A sweet dessert is not forbidden. However, it should only be enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a daily habit.

Forbes Magazine Gives Yoga a Thumb Up


by Baxter
View From Above by Melina Meza
I love it when capitalist magazines find something good to say about yoga, even if it is how it is making someone lots of money. But in this case, Forbes says yoga might save the US trillions of dollars in lost productivity for our economy. How so, you ask? Why, for a start, by reducing the dropout rate from high schools in this country, rates that shockingly range from 30% in most places to over 50% in our urban “war zones.” (I call them war zones because of the continual violent backdrop that these children are subjected to day in and day out; where just walking to and from school, let alone being in school, is a constant cause for anxiety and worry about getting hurt or killed.)

What was a delight to see is one of the featured yoga experts quoted frequently in the article, BK Bose, in whose Niroga Institute in Berkeley, CA, I have had the great pleasure of teaching for the past several years. Bose, who started his career as a software engineer in the high tech industry in Silicon Valley, has more recently focused his work on bringing yoga to under-served communities, and training teachers to work with these special populations. These include classes at the Alameda County Juvenile Hall, low-income public schools and low-income senior centers, to name just a few. His work, as with most small operations around the country, is done as a non-profit venture. Even on its smaller scale, the results of the yoga classes are significant.

And after all, if we can influence the health of our youngest at an early age, that should lead to a longer, healthier life as they age (and, of course, many of our readers have school-aged children). The key underlying factor that Bose identifies as the culprit in so many of the challenges our young face is chronic stress. We have written on many occasions about the ways in which yoga can help us deal with stress. But what about in our kids, and in the growing number of kids that have to deal with gangs, substance abuse, and crime in their neighborhoods? This adds a whole new twist on doing straight up mindfulness techniques. These techniques can work quite well for children who don’t have the kinds of violent communities that Bose’s programs work with, as you will see below.

For me, as I read the article, I found one concept that comes from mind-body research defined in a new way that I could relate to from my own yoga teaching.  I often refer to the mind’s background chatter as “monkey mind” or “restless mind,” and the tendency is for this kind of thinking to have a background feeling of anxiety or stress associated with it. The following paragraph from the Forbes article talks about what mindfulness practices do to the brain, including the new phraseology “default mode network (DMN)” which I find confirming of my own observations:  

“In 2011, a Harvard study showed that mindfulness is linked to increased gray matter density in certain cortical areas, including the prefrontal cortex and regions involved in self-referential thoughts and emotion regulation. There seems to be a strong connection between mindfulness and the brain machinery involved in self-regulation. Other work has shown mindfulness to be linked to relative de-activation of the default mode network (DMN), the brain system that’s active during mind-wandering and self-referential “worry” thoughts, which are generally stressful in nature.”

Mindfulness practices, then, help us change the way we are thinking, or at least the way we are focusing our minds, which changes our stress response. For a young person, this might equate to changed behavior, in which he or she has more control over emotional reactions that might lead to trouble. Bose, however, notes that in his students who live in violent communities and are more often directly or indirectly victims of trauma, mindfulness is not going to work.  As the article points out:

“This is all well and good, Bose adds, but there’s an obvious caveat. When they’re in the midst of stress and trauma, few kids have the ability to sit still enough to take part in a sitting practice. “If you’re not ready to sit in classroom,” says Bose, “you’re not ready to do sitting meditation. If you have drugs and gangs and violence all around you, you simply can’t sit still. Teachers tell us that they often yell at kids 100 times a day to sit and pay attention. It doesn’t work. And to ask them to do this in the context of meditation can have a worse-than-neutral effect – it could be disastrous.”

He says that you have to go beyond mind-body research to trauma research, which tells us that physical activity can help the brain deal with stress and trauma.

“Trauma research tell us that we hold trauma in our bodies… Neuroscience says mindfulness; trauma research says movement. All of the sudden you’ve got moving meditation or mindfulness in motion. Mindfulness alone isn’t going to cut it for these kids.”

Even for adults who carry a lot of anxious energy stored up in their bodies, we here at Yoga for Healthy Aging have advocated for the necessity of movement practices, sometimes more vigorous yoga styles, as an initial stage in leading to deeper relaxation and stress reduction in your daily practice. Turns out to be true for kids with trauma, too.

The take-away from this Forbes exposure of yoga to a larger audience in the US and for us yogis here as well is that it may prove invaluable to teach young and old alike to do yoga, combining active asana and quieter mindfulness practices for maximum benefit. And that it would be a good idea to change policy on a national level to fund such ventures, so everyone at least has access to trying yoga, to see if it works for them. What an interesting, and possibly wonderful, world that could be!

Friday Q A Trauma Resurfacing Crying in Class


We recently received this comment on Ram’s post about trauma (see Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Yoga to the Rescue).

Q: This is a very important topic. I have always been pretty surprised that my yoga teachers (many of whom are simply excellent) seem oblivious to the trauma students bring into their studios. I was mistreated as a
 child and when I began a yoga practice, I was unprepared for how yoga resurfaced issues that I had long thought were put to rest. But there I was -- breaking out into tears in bridge pose in the middle of class for no apparent reason. I could not find anything (or anyone, though I was not exactly willing to shout my needs from the mountaintop) that could help me understand what was happening. My teacher at the time was sympathetic, but stumped. I have since learned from friends who were sexually assaulted that yoga kicked issues up for them, too. It took me a while to understand somatic memory and to find ways to use yoga as a source of healing. I wish I could have found some help with that since I was so new to yoga and did not really have a sense of how to proceed. Is there any effort to make this part of most training programs? Are there guides or reading materials for us to learn from? Often, when I go into a new class, I count the students and do a rough estimate of the survivors of child abuse and sexual assault (knowing the stats and assuming a random sample of the US population is present). The number is never zero. 

A: I’m so sorry to hear about the difficulties that you, our commenter, have experienced, both in terms of the original abuse and then later having the experiences resurface in your yoga class. And I’m very glad your teacher was sympathetic and that—eventually—you found ways to use yoga as a source of healing. But one thing for you to realize is that it is quite common for yoga students to cry during class (especially during backbends) for any number of reasons. So while you suspected that you were crying due to traumas resurfacing during practice, a yoga teacher could not possibly know that from your tears alone (see Baxter’s comments below about crying during class). And unless you are studying with a yoga teacher who is also a trained therapist or has taken a special training program to work with students recovering from trauma, it is actually not appropriate for an ordinary yoga teacher to try to help you with these issues.

In my training, in fact, I was specifically instructed not to try to comfort or take care of a crying student. This may sound harsh but the reasoning is that, first, you can’t know why the student is crying and, second, you do not have the training to be counseling a student about emotional issues because you are not a therapist. (This is equivalent to the yoga teacher’s situation with students who have physical problems. Because we are not doctors, we should not be diagnosing and treating medical conditions in our students, but should refer them to experts for help.) At most, we were told, we could offer a more comforting yoga pose to do.

For example, once while I was assisting Rodney Yee in a backbend workshop (backbends are known for triggering tears) a student began to cry. He told me to quietly offer the student a bolster and ask her whether she wanted to set up in Supported Child’s pose, which she did. And that seemed to help calm her. So, in general, as a teacher who is not specially trained to help students who have survived trauma or abuse, I’d say that if you start crying in a yoga pose and you feel comfortable enough to continue on, you could just allow yourself to cry. But if you do not want to continue in the pose, you should come out and take a pose that feels more comfortable to you, possibly a pose where your front body is protected (the opposite of a backbend) whether that is Supported Child’s pose, a Supported Forward Bend, or even Crocodile Pose (Makrasana) where you lie on the floor on your belly. If these types of poses don’t offer comfort, perhaps try a simple seated pose or any other pose your intuition tells you will work for—whatever feels best. And if you were to come to me after class and share with me the reason for your crying, I would recommend that you see a therapist or an expert on trauma for advice.
Supported Child's Pose
A Supported Forward Bend
Crocodile Pose
Because none of our staff members here at Yoga for Healthy Aging have expertise in that area, we won’t be responding to your comment with specific advice about the issues you raised. However, fortunately for all of us, there are some therapists and experts who do use yoga and meditation to help patients who are survivors of sexual abuse and other forms of trauma. One that was recommended to me by a reliable source (thank you, Jarvis Chen!) is Bessel van der Kolk, MD, founder of the Trauma Center at the Justice Resource Institute in Brookline, MA. Here is an interview with him www.traumacenter.org. 

This quote from that interview is particularly relevant for us: 

“Yoga teachers need to be aware that material will come up during class and they need to be prepared at all times to help people to calm down their bodies, by working with the breath and quieting poses. Teachers should create a safe space in the class, keep the focus on the breath and the flow of the asanas. It is best to refrain from excessive talking, explaining or preaching during the class—the job of the Yoga teacher is to help people to feel safe in every aspect of their self-experience.”

Some of van der Kolk’s associates have actually written a book on the topic Overcoming Trauma Through Yoga by David Emerson and Elizabeth Hopper, PhD. And David Emerson, director of yoga services at the Trauma Center, has a forthcoming book called Trauma-Sensitive Yoga in Therapy (see www.traumasensitiveyoga.com).

I noticed that  Emerson will be teaching a workshop on this topic in October 2014 at Kripalu (see http://kripalu.org/program/view/TSYT-142) and that the Trauma Center provides Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Teacher Training (contact demerson@traumacenter.org).

So that’s a few resources to get you—and anyone else who is concerned about this issue—started.

Now here’s something more from Baxter about how a yoga teacher should handle the general situation of a student crying in class. 

—Nina 

A: I clearly remember, during my teacher training days, the first time one of my fellow students began to cry in class. I mean, really cry loudly. I was simultaneously confused (was she in pain?) and worried about her (should I console her?). Her crying began during a restorative pose—something like Child’s pose—and it ultimately lasted a minute or two. The teacher did not directly address the crying, which was also quite curious. After class, the student shared with some of us that she was actively processing some long-standing grief and that we might expect more of such crying in the future. She had discussed it with the teacher previously, and so they had an understanding of what was happening. These crying episodes went on intermittently for months afterwards.

I also recall the first time I experienced tears during practice, also while doing Child’s pose (Balasana) in my home practice. I don’t recall the thought or feeling that preceded the tears rolling, but they sure came out. There was some sadness associated with the act of crying, but also a kind of liberation of emotion that felt quite good.

In my classes, I will occasionally notice someone crying, usually during the cool down period of class or in Savasana. But I have also seen this happen at the start of class during sitting meditation, too. If the tears are quiet, I usually observe as unobtrusively as I can, what is happening, and rarely feel the need to directly check in with the student. These are almost always regular students of mine, so I have experience working with them already and feel pretty confident that they will check in with me later if necessary. But, like Nina, I tend to focus on maintaining the practice space for all of the students and not intruding on the crying episode.

On rare occasion, if there is louder crying, as quietly as I can, I will approach the student and ask if they need anything from me. I try not to pacify or console, or imply that I know what they are going through, but continue to cultivate a safe environment for them to experience their full practice. In fact, there is no way for me to know exactly what the student is experiencing in that moment, and in some ways, it is not really my business.

As yoga teachers, we are not trained to address the emotional health of our students, as psychologists are. If a student were to approach me with questions about how to deal with difficult emotions, I would refer them to a trained therapist who can appropriately work with them. At the same time, I also can acknowledge to myself that their ongoing yoga practice may help support any work they may choose to do around emotional well-being. But ultimately, it is important to know and acknowledge the limits of my expertise as a yoga instructor and to convey that in a kind and clear way.

Importance Of A Fiberglass Pool With Spa


By Jaclyn Hurley


If you are thinking of investing in a fiberglass pool with spa then there are some important things that you ought to know about them. Their popularity has risen in the recent past due to the numerous advantages they have over the other types of pools. These advantages are discussed in detail in the following paragraphs.

Maintenance for this type of pools are always at an all time low and this makes the reason why people are quickly adopting them. They utilize less chemicals and it would take a longer time to start doing repairs on your pool. This would greatly save you money as you would spend less in terms of the chemicals.

Aesthetic value that emanates from their beautiful finishes makes up another advantage of such pools. In the past, the pools used to be ugly after they were made without any finishes done on them. Nowadays they have finishes that are colored making them colorful, they have some innovative molds and some cantilevered concrete which greatly rivals the normal concrete finish.

If you were to consider long term benefits of building this type or the normal pools, then you would see that the fiberglass type always lasts longer than for example the vinyl type. It could sound expensive at the start but considering the way it would last for a long time then it would be worth the money you invest into its construction. One can never go astray when it comes this type of an investment.

It generally increases the value of the property that has the facility due to the kind of appeal it sends out to potential buyers. It could also make people who do not love swimming pools to like the property as it is very eye catching. It would also give the property seller an edge over the other properties competing for buyers.

It is easy to have your swimming facility ready in like three to four weeks for the whole installation work to be complete. They usually have a twenty year warranty but some stretch to over twenty five years long therefore making this type the best to invest in due to the long warranty period. It is this long as fiberglass does not show signs of wear and tear nor does it have any structural damage.

Safety features make up part of the components of the swimming facility in that they have safety ledges, non-slippery floors and hand rails installed in them. These are great as they help avoid users from getting involved in accidents while using the swimming facility. They are protective features which are not usually found in the common types of pools.

The factors above are a true reflection of the merits of investing in a fiberglass pool other than the other pools found in various homes. Understanding them would be instrumental in coming up with a decision that is well informed by facts. Choosing this type would be the best decision to make for your home.

A Revelation On How A Kent WA Chiropractor Alleviates Headache Pain Naturally


By Ivy Catubig


In the 21st century, headaches have become an order of the day due to the busy lifestyle that keeps everyone on the move. Unfortunately, many citizens always opt to buy over the counter drugs in a bid to end the problem. Little do they know that all it takes is seeking Kent chiropractic services so as to put the issue to rest. Discussed below are reasons why this is the best option.

Consulting a chiropractor is a step in the right direction because it kick starts the process of healing. Avoid the temptation of buying over the counter medicines that are not natural and are also laced with chemicals. In spite of this seeming a viable option, it is not appropriate because the root cause is given a blind eye and all you experience is a temporary relief only for the problem to recur.

To deal with the problem naturally, have a chiropractor perform a checkup rather than use pain pills that in most cases require you to take huge doses and cause adverse reactions in your body. Another aspect is that you could become an addict, and this essentially means that you become a slave to the particular medicine.

Being able to identify the source of the constant headaches is something that chiropractors excel in. One of the most common causes is when the neck area undergoes some sort of misalignment or when a nerve gets compressed. Once the primary cause is identified, it is corrected and by so doing, any further complications that could have popped up in the future are averted.

After the problem is dealt with, the chiropractor usually makes a follow up. Doing so is vital so as to ensure that the issue does not have any room to recur. This acts as a precautionary measure and you are therefore able to feel good.

The next time you have a headache, opt for a natural method to deal with it. A perfect example is seeking help from a chiropractor. The headache will be gone in no time and you will also get to benefit from the previously discussed merits.

Things That You Might Get When You Visit A Chiropractic Santa Monica Clinic


By Ryan Delacruz


Whether it is from an accident or just routine, pain can be stressful. That is because it will limit you from doing some things. This being that case, you need to make sure that you have taken care of the pain. If you tried using medicines or have been to surgery and have not gotten any positive results, or you want to try a new approach, you should think of visiting a Chiropractic Clinic Santa Monica clinic. However, it is best to be prepared on what to expect when you visit the expert.

One of the things that you should be willing to share is the medical history. Be prepared to fill out some forms on some of the various health conditions that you might have had or even experiencing. That is because they have to ascertain whether the pain comes from the spine. In extreme cases, they might have to call your doctor to share your medical records so that they can learn as much as possible about your condition.

Other than your history, the doctor will ask you about what you do for a living and your daily practices. That is important because they have to ensure that they have understood your condition as much as possible so that they can give you the best treatment. If you do not share, then it will be hardly possible to give you the best treatment and advice so that you can be treated.

The type of job that you do and the duration you have worked in this field is necessary. These questions might be tiring and even seem extreme, but keep in mind that there is no other way that the doctor can be able to understand you better. Thus, you should be willing to share this information.

At times the injury might not be from home or work; it could be that you were injured when you were young and a vertebra or two malformed. If this is the case, you should note that it is uncommon for these deformed to take place when one is past the age of eleven years due to Wolf law. However, even if the injury happened when you were young, these experts are trained on how to handle such situations.

No matter how much treatment you get, without learning of the proper way to walk, sit, and even sleep, it will be impossible to get rid f the pain completely. Listen to the advice that the expert is giving to you and ask as many questions as possible to help ensure that you have fully benefited and understood what needs to be done.

The other thing that you should be prepared to do is to get an x-ray. The chiropractor needs this so that they can study your bone structure and gets to learn as much as possible about your condition, only then can they give you the best treatment.

However, if you want to get the best service, you need to make sure that the expert you are considering has been trained and certified. Other than that, they should have a license to operate. Only a genuine specialist can help you get rid of the pain.
