fitness No Comments »

Gratz Industries proudly presents a new documentary video, “I Just Want To Be Great.” story by Nicole Smith, proprietor of Core Love Culture Pilates studio, and directed by Rebel Monkey Productions in Philadelphia, PA.

By chronicling the journey of three football players at different career stages as they strive to achieve greatness and enhance their strength, flexibility, and control by practicing the Pilates method, we are shown the depth of a method that nurtures and protects the athleticism in everybody and all bodies.

2021 NFL All-Pro Defensive End Brandon Graham of the Philadelphia Eagles found that Pilates training has brought a newfound body awareness, increased strength, and flexibility. Malik Cooper, sophomore Running Back of the Temple University Owls, has seen a great enhancement in his stretch, control, and strength. While Kobe Goode, a pre-teen aspiring quarterback, has gained confidence and strength through his training. All three have formed a unique bond with Nicole as this work has encouraged them to experience and explore their strengths and weaknesses. When asked what he hopes to achieve from his Pilates training and in his career, Malik Cooper simply said, “I Just Want Be Great,” inspiring the documentary’s title. His response summed up what each of these athletes strives for with their perseverance and positivity in their careers and their Pilates practice. The Pilates method is a “non-traditional’ health and wellness practice that provides an individual with optimal health benefits.

Wise Anderson Protocol - Overcoming Catastrophic Thinking in Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes

Catastrophic thinking only serves to worsen the problematic symptoms associated with chronic pain. Here Dr. Wise explains how to solve this negative pattern and find relief.

Pelvic Pain Symptoms once treated can return with the onset of stress.

The Wise Anderson Protocol is all about teaching patients how to prevent the recurrence of stress-related symptoms of pelvic pain.

What I think has been overdone and a big waste of American healthcare dollars, is the money that has been thrown in trying to get x-ray images/ fancy blood tests, and in my experience, over the years, I have not found that a CT scan or an MRI has been helpful in any degree, so this is a waste of money most of the time. If there is a lot of urinary dysfunction and if there is pain with bladder filling, I think it is important for us to make sure that there isn’t an inflammatory component in the bladder its self. This is known as interstitial cystitis. The inflammatory process feeds on the muscular pain and it just becomes a cycle of pain that is difficult to break, our objective is to break that pain and to get patients to heal themselves.
We have to keep I mind what the objective is, and that is to give this patient a new quality of life, reduce their pain and over time completely eliminated. This list of symptoms in the pain arena people often have a lot of discomfort in the base of the pelvis. Some men compare the feeling to sitting on a golf ball. Sitting seems to trigger a lot of these pains. Associated with that is an aching and a sensitivity, even in the testicles, causing squirming in distress. Some in the lower back, it feels like it might be a back problem but it’s usually lower. Some patients complain about pain radiating into the groin and into the thigh, a common complain area. There’s also suprapubic discomfort, or right below the belly button.
In addition to those symptoms we have sexual dysfunction, with men it can be pain after ejaculation or during orgasm, with women it can be during sex where it’s just a contact form of discomfort. And, there’s a lot of anxiety about having sex. Men will often have ejaculation problems and also have difficulty attaining an erection. It’s well know that pain in the pelvis can be very distracting to the nerves which are responsible for creating the relaxation that’s required for an erection. Then of course there’s the discomfort and dysfunction of bowel movements, when even having a movement, or after a movement, can be painful.
This is very upsetting for people it creates a lot of dismay people have had to quit their jobs, or go on disability in some cases. This becomes a spiral downward becoming despondent and depressed.
