"Movement" is the means by which we express ourselves in the way we live.
That which impairs, inhibits or restricts movement creates vulnerability in our lives and that of total expression. Hence, movement each day is essentail to truly be healthy and well.
When the body becomes injured or over-stressed, appropriate movement is essential and the means by which our bodies re-oraganize itself.
"We were designed to be moving and move."

Nutrition for Performance & Longevity "Live Foods"
Proper Nutrition isn't the only aspect for a Life of Performance & Longevity.... but it's a huge component of it.
To truly Tap-In in to "Whole Body Energetic Potetial" we really need to appreciate the superiority of "Live Foods" vs. Dead Foods (processed, refined, over cooked, genetically- modified)
Thats right the way we prepare or cook our foods really matters....alot.
"Live Foods" have an energetic component that exchanges and tanslates to the energtic enhancnement of our cells. Any time we impact the energetics of the cell(s) positively or negativley we impact the whole energetics of the body.
'Live Foods" are primarily "plant-based' ... so it is very important that we include in our daily nutritional intake an appropriate plant-base food intake (approx. 70%or more).
Some of Benefits of Regular Consumption of "Live Food":
- Improved Energy and Vitality in appearance & performance.
- Increased muscle and skin tone
- improved digestion
-stronger immune system
- decreased oxidative stress and inflammation (the gaitways of all disease..including Diabetes, heart, Cancer, etc.)
- balance Phd - prevent excess acidity in body ( also a gaitway to cellular break down & dis-ease)
(improves top end performance ... enhance resitance and reconciliation to dis-ease)
- if you do get hurt, injured or over train....accelerates healing and recovery.
- assits to preserve youthfulness longer.
...these are only some of many.
This is only the 'Tip of the Iceburg" but we also want to keep it simple applicable and not overwhleming.
Hope this helps to get you started ...

"Tensegrity" establishes a physical basis for organic, genetic & biochemical illness
Why is your Tensegrity so Important??
Look at following statements....
Annals of Medicine 2003;35(8),pp 564-77....Donald E Ingbar,MD, PhD, Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Look at following statements....
Annals of Medicine 2003;35(8),pp 564-77....Donald E Ingbar,MD, PhD, Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
- "The global shape of the cell dictates its behavior"
- "Local changes in tissue structure also may explain why genetic diseases, including cancer, often present focally"
- "When the shape of the molecule (cell) is altered, its biophysica properties change and hence biochemistry will be altered..."
- "Because out bodies are hierarchial structures, mechanicical deformation of any tissues results in structural re-arrangements in many tissues"
Dr. Wells' Comments:
Can you see the application?
Basicallly there are many factors which contribute to build up of tissue tension within our bodies they are referred to as "perpetuating factors". These can be caused by different types of stressors to the body (trauma, repetitive activity, activities which cause postural distortion patterns, mental and emotional stress, nutrtritional imbalances etc.)
You really cant find any better pre-liminary sign of disconnect within the body then muscle tension whether the signs are subtle (mild tension) or dramatic (expressed as pain).
One of the first signs to be aware of is a feeling of re-strictiveness or compromised posture...even though pain may not yet have been expressed...aswell as a feeling of rigidity or inability to stretch it out.
While attempting to stretch or train on tight muscles and joints may be the first thought of most...this actually becomes more damging to the cells of the connective tissue predisposing them to additional distortion and compromise.
The solution lies in working more up-stream in the hierarchy and releasing the rigidity that has built up in the connective tissue system. This is what is done in the WellSport System of approach.
Once the "Tensegrity" is re-set to appropriate tension and re-connect and proper communication is re-established between the Connective Tissue and Nervous Systems...then we can re-direct the focus of the patient to re-enforcement of proper therapeutic movement and stretching.
See how powerful this can be for Sports Performance as well as Wellness and Prevention?
Key note: If you feel restrictions in movement or stretching ...you already have a problem going on and are overdue to have your "Tensegrity" re-set.
Most individuals will need to be re-set at a minimum of twice per month but optimally every week as athletes do.
You can also refer to my other posts on "Tensegrity"
Hope this helps you better to undertand why it is so important....
Please post any questions or comments..

Attention!!! Triathletes, Runners, Cyclists, Endurance Athletes..........Are you as truly fit or as well as you think??
Sports Wellness and Performance
Attention!!!.. Triathletes, Runners, Cyclists and other Endurance Athletes!!!
Are you as truly fit or as well as you think????
Continued statistics continue to indicate that while most particiapate in these activities with the goal to promote fitness and wellness, it is a significant smaller percentage who participate to compete at the higher level. In either case, studies in sports performance and bio-terrain accessment continue to indicate that those who participate in such activities are continually exposed to: acute local inflamation; oxidative stress and free radical damage; adrenal storm and depletion which create the "Perfect Storm" for a global chronic inflammatory state unless proper mangement of training along with appropriate peripheral care is executed regularily.
By this time at least most individuals have had some exposure or are aware of at least some of the implications in reference to: "adrenal stress (overload or depletion)""chronic inflammation" and /or "oxidative damage"....In short these sub-clinical conditions create a terrain within our bodies which lead to cellular damage and dysfunction. Not only are they associated with the predisposition of conditions which proliferate in the state of inflamation such as: heart attack, stroke, diabetes and cancer among others chronic conditions but at the earlier sub-clinical stages, performance is detrimentally impacted because of tissue hypoxia(oxygen starvation) leading to an increase decreased ph or increased accidity within the body which interferes with metabolic processes including lowering the aerobic and anaerobic threshold limiting your out-put.
The Global "Tensegrity" of the overall connective tissue matrix of the body is also compromised which continues to proliferate the cycle. (See Blog on "Tensegrity") Ultimately performance continues to deteriorate and chronic health conditions develope unless appropriate strategies are implimented.
This is actually easier than you think if you know what to look for and how to address the issues. There are 7 principle areas that we objectively evaluate and address in an integrated approach.
Connective Tissue "Rigidity" is one of the leading clinical indicators that suseptibility already exists.
If you would like to be evaluated or pursue a program of prevention or reparation please contact my office: http://www.wellsport.com/
Hope this helps,

Live Blood Analysis...Nutritional Microsopy
Nutritional Microscopy through Live Blood Analysis: Functional Nutrition
Live blood analysis is a technique which allows for an objective evaluation of the blood to identify irregularities and sub-clinical indications of a wide variety of different conditions that could lead to compromises in wellness. This technique is especially useful in aspects of wellness and prevention as well as performance enhancement because it allows for an objective evaluation at the sub-clinical stage before a clinical presentation or a dis-diseas process occurs. Live blood analysis allows for objective evaluation of your wellness via the blood at the cellular level. If you already have a significant compromise in wellness or clinical presentation Live Blood Analysis will objectively indicate the imbalance so you can take action to resolve it. It is time and cost effective as well as user friendly. Depending on the irregularities in your blood , there are a wide variety of different conditions that can be determined.
The following are just a few examples of these conditions:

The following are just a few examples of these conditions:
- State of Immune Reserves
- Liver and Spleen Stress
- Vitamin and Mineral Deficiences
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Fungal and Parasite Activity
- Digestive Imbalances
- Heavy Metal Toxicity
- Predisposition to Atherosclerosis and Cancer....and other Degenerative Dis-Eases.
Unfortunately, the majority of diagnostic lab tests used today by conventional practitioners fail to be: as reliable, cost and time effective or accurate in indicating sub-clinical levels of a vulnerable state of health as does Nutritional Micrscopy through Live Blood Analysis.
It is highly recommended that Live Blood Analysis be apart of every individaul's wellness and prevention assessment program. It will take the guess work out of where you need to focus your time and money to invest in your health.

Appropriate "Active Recovery" Proves Superior ....for Post-Race recovery in Triathlon and Running..
Appropriate "Active Recovery" continues to demonstrate as superior method of recovery for long distance competition such as Ironman and Marathon when compared to passive recovery or rest alone....
When I hear the words "I'll just rest" or "I'll just rest it", I almost cringe.
It is a phrase I frequently hear after an individual has pushed them self as a result of participating in a long distance triathlon or running race or someone whose training is being hindered by some repetitive stress or over training injury.
While the science of sport has demonstrated for years that active recovery is superior to passive recovery or rest alone in the areas of post race recovery and injury recovery, still a large number of participants apparently are not getting the message or not understanding the application.
With statistics indicating that an excess of 80% of those participating as runners and 70% as triathletes are in someway injured and attempting to train through it, it would be interesting to explore how these individuals approach their training,race or injury recovery.
While a statistic many may not realize, 0-30 days after participating in such events, not only did the vulnerability to injury increase by 50% but individuals were also extremely vulnerable to being immune compromised as expressed in significant increases in upper respiratory infections.
(American Journal of Sports Medicine.)
More later but something to think about,
