Ties That Bind! - Chiropractic Treatment -Neuromuscular Reeducation

Ties That Bind!

NueroMuscular Reeducation
Why is it that so many elite athletes from around the world have flown into Los Angeles just to be treated by Dr. Gary Glum?

How is it that NMR can handle injuries so quickly, increase strength and flexibility so dramatically and add so many years onto an athletic career?
Read this testimonial by Fred Hatfield, one of the world's top trainers, and find out how NMR can help you achieve peak athletic performance capability!
Moving heavy iron is more than tough. It's dangerous. In my quest for world records, I blew both my rotator cuffs. The cuff, a group of four relatively small, but important, shoulder muscles that control inward and outward rotation of the humerus, is particularly vulnerable to the kind of trauma gymnastics, weightlifting, and powerlifting inflict.

I was involved in all three at one time. Now, mercifully, I only powerlift. That's because that is all I can do now. My rotator cuff muscles, now hanging on precariously, would never make it through another German giant on the high bar or another limit snatch.

For the first several years of my exclusive career in powerlifting, I couldn't bench too well. I didn't want to, frankly, because I didn't want to get cut on again. I had lost most of my range of motion in both. shoulders, and was unable to perform even a simple maneuver like pulling my wallet out of my hip pocket-handy in restaurants.

Then I met Dr. Gary Glum. As editor-in-chief of Sports Fitness magazine, I was on a constant lookout for exciting, new angles for stories. Glum had a thing going he called neuromuscular reeducation. The bodybuilders and elite athletes I trained were literally raving about Glum's treatments. I figured I'd pay the guy a visit. Perhaps a story would come of it.

I brought a registered physical therapist of some renown with me to interview Dr. Glum. Dr. Jeff Everson (now editor-in-chief of Muscle & Fitness magazine) had a ruptured pectoral muscle that needed care. With a degree in physical therapy, and years of in-the-trenches

experience under his belt, Everson was an apt guinea pig for Glum's handiwork.
I mean, what did I know about the new chiropractic? My degree is in exercise science, with no experience in caring for injured people. Little did I realize that Glum had taken chiropractic to a level previously only dreamed about. He was into all those things that normal chiropractic physicians were into, but he was also into making it possible for elite athletes to achieve peak athletic performance capabilities as well.
I watched as he worked on Everson. "Holy !" Everson cried.
"What the hell you doin' to me?"
Glum wasn't reassuring at all. "Quit griping!" he muttered. "The proof will be in the pudding." He continued to do his thing on the skeptical Everson. Me? I wasn't impressed at all, either.
Then the treatment was over. Relieved beyond words, Everson dragged his beaten body off Glum's torture rack. His range of motion was greatly improved and he felt much stronger.
"It feels much better!" Everson offered.
Now Everson is a trained scientist. I decided to give this guy another test-this time on me. If Everson was impressed, I reasoned, then I should at least listen.
The next week found me on the same couch upon which Everson sweated so impressively.
I didn't make the same mistake Everson did though. I brought a bullet to bite on. I subjected myself to Glum's gloom. I got up. My rotator cuffs-I have zippers atop both shoulders to prove it-had been very limited in range of motion and strength. After Glum's NMR treatment, my ROM was 10096. 1 went home and bench pressed 30 pounds more than I had ever done before. 30 pounds! Do you know what that means to a competing athlete? Two hard years of advanced training can't put that much on your benching strength!
Over the next several months, I dug as much information as I could from Glum and his partner and co-developer of NMR, Joe Horrigan. These guys were really on to something revolutionary.
