In order to better serve my vision for a more complete form of fitness, I decided to create a Wellness Center at 5th Street Fitness that will address the importance of the mind-body connection.
My years of training as a professional athlete made it clear to me what was possible when this connection was strong. Just like the regular practice of lifting weights makes your body stronger, proper mind-body communication strengthens and supports the overall health of the organism - the physical body.
Mind-body medicine focuses on the interaction among the brain, mind, body and behavior and on the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual and behavioral factors can directly affect health. It regards as fundamental an approach that respects and enhances each person’s capacity for self-care and it emphasizes techniques that are grounded in this approach.
The techniques that are currently available at 5th Street Fitness are chiropractic and private Pilates instruction. Upon completion of the remodel, future modalities offered may include nutrition, massage, acupuncture, hypnosis and biofeedback as well as CranioSacral work.
Please keep checking back for approximate begin dates.
