Success Secret # 2 Fall in Love with the Process
“When I was fifteen, I had a clear vision of myself winning the Mr. Universe contest and was driven by that thought. It was a very spiritual thing in a way, because I had such faith in the route, the path, that it was never a question in my mind that I would make it.”
Driven by his vision of becoming Mr. Universe, he worked out five hours a day, loving every minute of it, because he felt that each time he went to the gym, he was one step closer to winning the competition. At age 20, Arnold Schwarzenegger became the youngest man to win the Mr. Universe title.
“If you will trust the process, fall in love with the process, and consistently and persistently work the process, you will realize your dream.”

Golf, Posture and Chiropractic
We all know what a great game golf is? It is a sport you can play into your 70’s and there is nothing better then the scent of fresh cut grass in the air.
Recently I was on vacation, and I was able to frequent the golf course on three different occasions. I love watching golfers hit golf balls, because everyone seems to do it in a different fashion? The driving range is the most fun to watch, because people are trying to crush the ball.
The one ingredient I noticed that was missing in 90% of the golfers was they all had improper posture while addressing the golf ball. That is kind of like Kobe Bryant trying to shoot free throws facing in the wrong direction. It is not going to happen! I trained with Paul Callaway of Body Balance for Performance a few years ago, and that was one of his pet peeves.
Most golfers have tight chest muscles, and weak stomach/core muscles. In my chiropractic clinic I also find that most right handed golfers have a very tight right hip region overall. Playing golf like this is equivalent to driving your car with the emergency brake on.
The solution to this above common scenario is to get a full body golf evaluation! This will help detect weaknesses and will help strengthen and fine tune your body. The end result is an improved golf game.
In my chiropractic clinic I have 24 years experience helping golfers reach their true potential. We also have Spinal Decompression available to help eliminate chronic back pain.
Healthfully Yours,

Chiropractic and Golf!
The key to golf longevity is having a strong back. Back injuries can ruin your golf score, and possibly keep you off the course. To a dedicated golfer, this can be worse then losing big on the stock market!
The spine consists of 24 bones which are separated by a soft tissue made of cartilage. When the spine is healthy, it is capable of handling tremendous stress. When the spinal bones move out of place, they put stress on the spinal nerves. This can cause pain, weakness, numbness, etc.
The golf swing involves flexing and twisting of the spine. Golfers must consider themselves athletes, and train using up to date training programs. One survey showed that 53% of professional golfers play while injured. While 53% of male recreational golfers suffered from back pain. If you play golf along with other sports you’re 40% more likely to develop back pain then those that just play golf.
Golfers use 90% of their maximum muscular activity when driving a golf ball. This is performed about 40 times per game. This level of maximum exertion puts golf on the same level with football, wrestling and martial arts.
Chiropractors are experts of the spine, and nervous system. In my clinic we treat many golfers, for various types of injuries. The most common complaint is low back pain. Low back injuries do not allow golfers to get into the proper position to address the golf ball. This in turn sets up the golfer for failure, and leads to many other injuries.
“The perfect golf swing provides you with a maximum, consistent performance while minimizing the physical stress on the body.”

Golfers….want to improve your golf game?
Are you a golfer but back pain is keeping you from your game? Low back and neck pain are main reasons that golfers cannot play or play at their best. When you’re injured it is hard to play your best game! We have the answer to your problem. The procedure is Spinal Decompression Therapy (also known as Spinal Decompression or SD). SD is a non-surgical therapy proven to treat back pain with significant results. Over a series of relaxing treatment sessions, patients experience powerful pain reduction and healing. Some patients even notice an improvement in their symptoms after the first few treatments. Patients enjoy lasting results, a four year study on the lasting effects of Spinal Decompression showed remarkable levels of sustained relief from back pain in patients that had undergone therapy. 71% showed more than 50% reduction in pain immediately after treatment. 52% of respondents reported a pain level of zero. Average pain levels were reduced from 7.41 to 1.57 Employment status increased by 40% among those previously out of work due to back pain. We have treated many patients with conditions ranging from golf injuries, back pain, and neck pain. My clinic uses Spinal Decompression to help patients who have had little success with other treatments. This FDA approved Spinal Decompression has been the most important medical advance in the non-surgical, non-invasive treatment of back pain in the last ten years. For anyone that lives in the Southern California area, I do offer a NO COST exam that determines if Spinal Decompression can help you. If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me at this blog. My name is Dr. Bob Moulas D.C…..I have been practicing in Orange California for over 24 years.
