Instinctive Training

Animal within


Instinctive training.  What does that mean? Well, let’s look at the definition of the word instinctive.

 1. Relating to or prompted by instinct; apparently unconscious or automatic: "an instinctive distaste for conflict".

Track Everything for Success

One of the many things I do for my health on a weekly basis is to visit my chiropractor. Chiropractic care is crucial to good health in my opinion. Chiropractic treatment techniques involves manual therapy, including manipulation of the spine, and other joints. Traditional chiropractic assumes that a vertebral subluxation interferes with the body's innate intelligence.
