Massage Therapy No Longer A Luxury, But A Therapeutic Tool

By: Alicia Weber

Renown Preventative Health Doctor, Dr. Julian Whitaker has the research and results and says, “Massage is no longer considered a luxury – it is now recognized as a therapeutic tool.”

Dr. Julian Whitaker founded the Whitaker Wellness Institute, which is the largest alternative medicine clinic in the U.S. and has served over 40,000 patients. He studies natural therapies and nutritional supplements.

Natural Therapies, like massage therapy, have more potential to restore health and prevent disease than conventional medicine.

Studies have shown the following results with those that get therapeutic massage therapy from a licensed massage therapist:
1.) Relieves Aches and Pains
2.) Improves Range of Motion
3.) Increases Blood Circulation and Lymph Flow
4.) Decreases Anxiety and Tension
5.) Facilitates Recovery from Injuries
6.) Increases feel good hormones Serotonin, Dopamine, and Oxytocin
7.) Reduces Blood Pressure and Heart Rate
8.) Promotes Tissue Regeneration and reduces scar tissue and stretch marks
9.) Reduces Migraines and improves sleep
10.) Exercises weak, tight, and atrophied muscles and enhances immune system

Words CAN NOT fully describe the benefits of massage, but even better a demonstration by Massage Therapist, Catalina Calisthenics will SHOW you what massage therapy can do for YOU!

Weber Celebrates Thanksgving in “Turkey Trot and Hop”

Thanksgiving 2010, LAS VEGAS, NV—I eat, sleep, and talk Track and Field!  So my ideal Thanksgiving would be having the opportunity to run with a pack of Turkeys.  Running is always in the picture with me-Track Coach, Johnny Deltoid.  However, I am out in the desert in Las Vegas and there are no turkeys in sight!

I decided to celebrate Thanksgiving by hosting an event called “Turkey Trot and Hop” to satisfy my running desires.  Participants first run 200m all out on a grass course that ends on a hill.  Then, they take a 200m recovery jog.  Immediately after that they hop 200m on the same course.  They do the first 100m hop on their Left Leg and then the 2nd 100m on their Right Leg.  They then can compare times from their one-leg hopping abilities to two-leg sprint abilities.  It is an exciting evaluation in fast-twitch muscle fibers, biomechanics, and muscle stabilizers (since they will be used on the uneven grass surface, unlike on a track).  PLUS it is an “attracktive” way to spend Thanksgiving.

Alicia Weber, an Orlando, FL, personal trainer, world record holder, and champion runner gobbled up this event!

This is a good way to test the strength of your legs.  Happy Trails to you!

Oh, I just had to wake up on Thanksgiving morning and share with you my favorite stretch!  I do this stretch on a regular basis, but it is extra special on Thanksgiving!  If I was a turkey, I would be ruffling my feathers and going into a Turkey Dance with this Gobbly good stretch called the Turkey Shrug!!  This is a stretch perfect for the wild animals and it really works your muscles!!  It gets into your upper traps, neck, and chin!  It prevents neck wrinkles and I have given this stretch to clients that had a double chin and their double chin started to disappear after only a month of doing this exercise once a day!!  You just do 1-3 sets once a day or a couple times a week to reap the results!

Follow along in the video below and give this stretch a try and see how wild and awake you will feel!!

Catalina Calisthenics at Halloween Party

I grew up on a Tennessee farm where I would spend my days trotting with thoroughbreds, hurdling over big pigs, and leaping over haystacks!  You wouldn’t catch me pigging out or hitting the hay though!  I was wide awake and ready to go with my rear in gear!  I fell in love with the sport of track and field where I always had a “shoe in & a leg up” on the competition!  Now, don’t get me mixed up with “Catalina Cathouse” my coach’s wife.  That Catalina began running to chase men!  I was running, jumping, and throwing for the passion of the sport!  Then, when I over threw the shot put at the SEC Conference Championships I decided to  get a little more “elbow grease” and put a little more arm into things!

Back in Jan 2010, I was a V.I.P at a 3 day Strength of Feats and Arm Wrestling Show where strongmen lined up to take me on!  I had a blast and wanted to stay longer so I arm wrestled the guest for another night’s stay at the Bellagio. I won the match and celebrated at the Vegas Clubs where I boogied on the dance floor and showed off my best moves in a BIG way!  Well, now I am in Clermont, Florida, for Halloween and I really want to liven’ things up and teach you some new moves! I have a creative, fun, and FREE exercise class I am hosting at Clermont Waterfront Park on Saturday, October 30th 2010 from 9:30am – 10:30am.  Come on down and “Huff and Puff in your Halloween Stuff” to my class called “Howl-O-Lean” exercise class!!  All abilities welcome!
