3 Ways To Get Back On Track After Stressful Life Events

February 14th, 2011 8 comments

I saw grief drinking a cup of sorrow
and called out, 
It tastes sweet, does it not?

You have caught me, grief answered,
and you have ruined my business.

How can I sell sorrow, 
when you know it's a blessing?

-Rumi

Jeffersonville, IN Chiropractor Busts Chiropractic Myths – Plus…How To Walk Correctly!

October 21st, 2010 2 comments

Chiropractors in Jeffersonville, IN and Chiropractors across the U.S. are celebrating National Chiropractic Week this week!

So come along with me in today's episode of Core Wellness TV where, during my workout at the park, I share how it works, and of course, bust some classic chiropractic myths like:

-That "Crack" means my bones are cracking!

-You can get addicted to chiropractic adjustments (once you go you have to keep going forever)

-Everyone needs to be adjusted on every visit

-Chiropractic fixes "pinched nerves"

Plus...during the last 4 minutes or so, you get a taste of the coaching course we currently have under way.  In this excerpt, you learn how to preserve and protect your ability to walk!  

The video clip will reveal the "Magic Moment" in the walking cycle that you must be aware of and able to control in order to maintain your ability to take a walk in the park when you're 90 years old!

Tell me YOUR experience with, and your thoughts on chiropractic in the comments below.  Got another question about chiropractic?  Leave that too!

A new comment on the post "CPS Exercise Solutions" is waiting for your approval
http://gettoyourcore.com/cps-exercise-solutions

Comment:  I did some gardening today-lots of bending and lifting which made my back and neck very stressed and sore. I tried some of the exercises and felt immediately more relaxed and in less pain.

I really enjoy doing these exercises as they are very calming, and also indicate to me where the problem areas are. I never realised how important the breathing aspect of exercise is. Its made a big difference to me to undo the bad habit of upper chest breathing.
Looking forward to more.

Thanks Steve

so simple yet soo effective.

I was feeling old and stiff before my time.

I've suffered a number of sporting injuries over the years including broken ribs, toes, fingers and a broken hip. Impact exercises are now a thing of the past, mainly to help preserve my prosthetic hip for as long as possible, but also because of the pain caused elsewhere.

What I liked the most is the realisation that my whole body can be governed by achieving the correct posture. At 46 yrs old, this may take a little time, but I'm already finding that I am more conscious of how I position myself and also how I breathe. At just over 6', and weighing in at 175lbs, I actually feel taller and more able to carry my weight in a more balanced and confident way.

The video clips are simple to follow and far better than trying to understand by reading a book.

I felt a bit regretful that my posture hasn't been addressed at an earlier age. However, I don't think it's too late.

A new comment on the post "How To Use Your Brain Plasticity For Neck and Shoulder Pain Relief" is waiting for your approval

http://gettoyourcore.com/plastic-mind

Comment: 

I'm not responding to this particular post. I'm leaving a comment so express my appreciation for everything you are sharing with us. I have been suffering from chronic back pain for almost 30 years.

I've seen dozens of doctors, chiropractors, therapists, acupuncturists, you name it, and they all disagreed with each other. Oops, I forgot to mention MRIs interpreted differently by orthopedic surgeons, and the  doctors who told me to look up psychiatrists.

I've taken matters into my own hands. The information and videos you provide will make a huge difference in my life.

Sincerely,

Isabelle

Comment:    Thanks for another great video.  I need to reprogram the way I use my body, reaching, bending, carrying things. I tend to tense my shoulders and bend straight down straining my back. I have though been more aware of just how I use my body since doing your exercises and your correct sitting video.

Author : lesley 

Comment:    Both hips got to 0' but my knees were both at ~45! When I pulled my lower leg to 90' at the knees my hip and thighs got an awful stretch that I had to ease off right away!  Ow.  I feel old!  Please, what is the exercise??

Thanks.  I've only just joined and I think this is a great mission and very generous of you.  I've had core amnesia for almost all my life I think.  I want to change that!

richardban1 has made a comment on Piriformis Stretch For Back Pain and Sciatica…Done Right!:

thanks you are my hero. I exercised with suspension equipment this morning and did some foam rolling after to loosen my lower back muscles and it band. I started having muscle spasms, numbness and pain from my hip to my knee. I have done your stretches that you recommended and it has loosened the muscle in my lower back and hip. I can now walk with out numbness and spasms.

Thanks again doc you are so helpful.

Comment:    I took you up on the invitation to notice my posture at various times over the weekend.  I asked the simple question "Am I pushing away from my support points?"  This simple suble shift helped me see in an instant the benefit of being aware of balance from an inner perspective instead of the habitual focus on what goes on around me.  What a powerful place to start, you have my attention.

Comment:  I tried the test, and was surprised, my wrists touched the ground, and my ribs stayed down. Granted I had the intention, so that was in innovator. Before finding this site, I'm not sure I wo uld keep my ribs down to the ground.
Thank you

Saluff has made a comment on Piriformis Stretch For Back Pain and Sciatica…Done Right!:

God bless you! I tried this stretch where it told me to do something similar to this but lying on the ground, well the ground made my tailbone hurt very bad! This helps a lot. I knew my sciatic pain was from a stiff muscle because it felt like someone was sitting on my back all the time. Now I feel amazing!

Hi Dr. Steve,

So far I have mixed feelings about the content of your videos.

On the plus side, I think the two self-diagnosis videos were great!!!  On the negative side, the upper and lower self-tests
showed me that I have a lot of work to do :-(  

I guess that explains my left shoulder, lower back and hip discomfort.  I consider myself to be an active and health-conscious person but my desk job is a definite hindrance.  I certainly look forward to the next self test and even more so to solutions.

I've set up a program on my computer at work to remind myself to take frequent breaks incorporate short exercise/stretching sessions.

I love your mission about creating awareness of CPS.  I'm trying to do my part to help you by sharing the info I've learned so far with my family and friends.

Finally, I have also enjoyed the videos (standing desk, exercise-ball chair, lifting technique, etc) on your website!!

Many thanks!!!

Pete Knoepfle

Comment: I am old (53), overweight and out of shape, but have been told I have good posture. I figured trying this I would look like a pretzel, so I was stunned, when I laid down next to a full length mirror so I could see what was touching and what was not, to find that I was able to perform this easily with only a very tiny arch in my neck. 

Eagerly awaiting next lower back installment of these tests as most of my problems are lower back and hip related.

By the way found your site and tried the back pain relief video. After only 3-4 minutes the constant pain, muscle tension and rigidity I have had running from the top of my hips across the top of my buttocks for several years was much improved.

I was, in fact, actually able to massage this area for the 1st time in recent memory without this muscle feeling like it was made of stone.  Thanks so much!!!

I have used our village's computer to look for help with my buttock pain.  I was heading for the nut house with this pain.  This has helped a lot. I will never forget your kindness.

Comment:  Thank you for these, they're dazzling.  There's stuff in this video nobody else shows you  (including the right way to lunge).   I've been doing these 7 exercises faithfully every day since you sent them.  Bought a foam roller and all. 

I wanted to tell you, the other day at a stoplight (seatbelted in obviously) I went to peel off the extra layer I had on, a kinda stiff sweatshirt, and it was so easy I was startled – my shoulders are so much freer. 

I've got my husband watching some of the videos on your website. Clear, practical info that should be universally known but it sure isn't; and your way of presenting it is wonderful.

Now we'd like to find out about the rest of the Dr.Steve system, please.

I can't even begin to thank you for the information you've given me.

When I began the first stretch I knew instantly that this was what I had been praying for:) All I can say is bless you.

On the second leg stretch I had to cry. Not because of the pain but because of the relief it gave me INSTANTLY.

Today since 5am I've been rotating from chair to chair to bed to couch to floor to every pillow I have (even the ones that are just for looks:) I took Ibuprofen, but nothing worked. Thank you

Comment:   Congratulations to you both as you move forward in your healing ministry.  I feel privileged to have been part of the "old" and transitioning into the "new". 

That really describes how I feel personally….leaving behind old habits of mind and body as I develop new ones – feeling better every single day.  My thanks to you both.

New comment on your post #1630 "CPS Exercise Solutions"

Author : RCYO

Comment: In baby belly breathing exercise, is Rebecca's forehead resting directly on the mat or does she have her face turned toward Dr Steve? In the video, her hair is concealing how she places her head.

I found an extra-firm black foam roller on amazon from Isokinetics, Inc. It does not compress at all, and looks just like the one in this video.

Thanks for posting these exercises in the video. They are helping me tremendously! I especially appreciate your instructions on the correct way to do lunges. When I developed arthritis in my knees, I had given up lunges until your instructions allowed me to do them again.

How To Use Your Brain Plasticity For Neck and Shoulder Pain Relief

September 12th, 2010 24 comments

After parent teacher conferences this past Friday, our 10 year old, Benjamin, showed us how he employed the scientific method to an experiment to determine whether some objects were rigid, elastic, or plastic.

It stirred me to do an episode about how to use the recently discovered and extremely powerful "plasticity" of your brain to relieve pain and create protective, smooth, efficient movement of your neck and shoulders.

This episode is vital if you really want to get rid of the cause of joint and muscle overstrain and pain while grooving new, healthier programs in your brain!

You'll also learn why some patterns can be corrected quickly and other patterns can take more persistence.

But remember..ANYTHING is possible!

Enjoy and let me know in the comments what patterns, habits, or programs you have in your bodymind that you know need to be "released and rewired"!

Shouting From My Heart – Inspiration From Mom

August 11th, 2010 No comments

Shouting From My Heart

 

In my last email I said that you may not being hearing from me as much since I've been focusing on my Mom.


But the fact is, this experience has given me even more passion to teach and share.

And thank you all so much for the outpouring of support, thoughts, and prayers.  It means so much to have all those positive vibrations flowing. 

Not only do they help Mom, they help you, too!

She is still responsive and breathing on her own and we're hoping to get her completely off the ventilator today or tomorrow.  So there's forward progress. 

Slow…but forward.

I've had lots of time sitting by Mom's bedside to process the meaning of it all.

Life, death, spirit, health, work, passion, purpose and especially the attachment we all have to this physical body suit we're in for a while.

I guess you could say it's kind of cracked me open and given me more passion to express a lot of the things I've learned but have been reluctant to share because I've been worried about what other people would think.

Fact is, I love learning and experiencing the power of deep spiritual lessons and how it relates to keeping a healthy body so we can experience this ride.

And to tell the truth, this has given me more passion than ever to speak my truth and shout from the heart even louder than before.

As Kierkegaard reminded us, "Only by investing and speaking your vision with passion, can the truth, one way or another, finally penetrate the reluctance of the world.  If you are right, or if you are wrong, it is only your passion that will force either to be discovered."

So in honor of Mom, I'm going full speed ahead with the online posture coaching course and will be opening up an online "school" soon at www.CoreWellnessInstitute.com.
 
I look forward to teaching and learning from students from around the world who are interested in "getting to their core" and living an authentic, meaningful life.

I'm excited to finally release the volumes of information and creative insights that, until now, have had packed away in my audio and video archives, stacks upon stacks of journals, sketchpads, binders, notecards, and scraps of paper.

I can't wait to help you experience your life with joy and experience the incredible freedom that comes when you break the shackles of pain, worry, doubt, and fear.

Be sure to click on the image above for an awesome inspirational song from Wayne Dyer's amazing film, "The Shift".  
 
Don't leave with your music still inside you.

Goodbye Core Wellness, Hello Core Wellness INSTITUTE!

April 1st, 2010 14 comments

The Only Constant Is CHANGE!

After 5 AWESOME years on Spring Street in downtown Jeffersonville, IN, Rebecca and I have decided it's time to move on and embrace the change we've been contemplating over the past year.

Now that we are moving away from our original intent of creating a "Curves-like" exercise circuit facility and are full speed ahead  creating multi-media home training and study courses, we are headed to the Nolan Centre at 131 E. Court Ave. in Jeffersonville just 3 blocks away!

The new space allows us to let go of some of the wide open wasted space and create much more functional studio space for creating new content and will serve as home base for our new online educational adventures with the upcoming CoreWellnessInstitute.com!

Join Rebecca and I in this bittersweet episode of Core Wellness TV as we say goodbye to Core Wellness on Spring Street and hello to Core Wellness Institute, LLC!

And in case you're wondering, YES, I will continue doing chiropractic rehabilitation sessions and nutritional medicine consults at the Institute!!

P.S.  If you're local and would like to leave a comment about any experiences or health breakthroughs you've had at the Spring Street location, please do!  I've been honored to be a partner in some miraculous transformations in this space and would love to hear your side of the story!
