I have spent 30 years in a body that I'm completely irresponsible with... I live the all too common story of do too much, sleep too little, and live on processed food and caffeine. I spend a lot of time complaining and no time making changes...it's time to turn the crazy train around and start taking care of my only body! This is my story as I am supported by Port Moody's Innovative Fitness and Impulse Sport Therapeutics to quit the excuses and get this body under control.

Rehabilitation - Impulse Chiropractic
Last week my left shoulder had a bit of an unfortunate mishap and my AC joint (if you follow your collar bone out toward your shoulder until you get to a pointy joint - it's this one) was causing me a lot of pain. I don't usually have many aches and pains, but with quite a lot of work and an ever increasing work out routine, I will not be surprised when things like this pop up. I saw Chiropractor Aaron after a few nights of it effecting my sleep and not being able to reach anything above shoulder height and he sorted it out. The first treatment hurt so much I could have bit him and really I only saw a little improvement after a day or two. The second treatment, however, helped immediately and I made it through my next workout pain free. This is often the way of rehab and exactly why I always encourage people to do a few treatments and give a little time before assuming treatment isn't working. I am bruised up but feeling 85% better (and hoping to clear out the rest with continued work with Aaron this week).
