Athletes Improve Performance, Reduce Injury with Sport Massage

Athletes Improve Performance, Reduce Injury with Sport Massage

New book and DVD package demonstrate top techniques

Champaign, IL (Vocus/PRWEB) January 21, 2011

Elite athletes swear by sports massage: Michael Phelps, Dara Torres, and Lolo Jones can attest to the benefits of the practice. According to popular massage therapist Michael McGillicuddy, athletes’ careers could be extended with the proper application of sport massage techniques. “Whatever sports you play, sport massage will give you 20 percent extra—extra performance, extra protection, and extra time per game, per season, per career,” McGillicuddy says.

In his new book Massage for Sport Performance (Human Kinetics, 2010), McGillicuddy offers massage techniques for eliminating many of the conditions that plague athletes after difficult training sessions, including soreness, tightness, and muscle fatigue. He instructs athletes on giving themselves or a partner proper sport massage and demonstrates pre - and postevent massage, recovery massage, and spot treatments to speed muscle recovery and improve performance.

McGillicuddy also breaks down massage methods with a 60-minute DVD displaying all the necessary techniques for a standard sport massage and specific massage recommendations for eight major sports, including basketball, track and field, soccer, and swimming.

“Massage can eliminate much of the internal muscle resistance,” McGillicuddy says. “The result is restoring, rejuvenating, and inspiring athletes to continue to perform at high levels.”

California Attorney, Mina Sirkin Claims That Solo Practitioner Attorneys Have Greater Risks; Sirkin to Speak at Seminar on April 17

California Attorney, Mina Sirkin Claims That Solo Practitioner Attorneys Have Greater Risks; Sirkin to Speak at Seminar on April 17

As attorneys get older, the business risks due to likeliness of incapacity or death increase. California lawyers are able to limit such risks by following a few simple systems.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 2, 2008

What happens to legal files if an attorney become incapacitated or dies? What could happen to the attorney-client trust funds? Who would take possession of the clients' files? What happens to the attorney-client privilege? Who will sell the practice? Who is allowed to look at a client's file? Can you make your law practice ready for sale? For sole practitioners, these questions pose significant risks as well as great planning opportunities, as long as planning is done before incapacity.

Fortunately, California enacted laws which allow solo attorneys to plan for their businesses in the event of incapacity and death. Mina N. Sirkin, a Family Wealth Lawyer in Los Angeles, California has created PracticeAssure(TM), a business system which guides attorneys to plan for 1) retiring; 2) selling a practice; 3) asset protection and 4) succession planning in specific areas of their law practice and business while they are healthy. Practice administration is a very challenging area, but it is usually the attorney who knows who would be best suited to administer the practice.

Many times the surviving spouse gets overwhelmed with the great task of returning client files, selling the practice, and managing the other parts of the estate. This task can be reduced to some basic steps to preserve the value of the practice. Lack of planning greatly reduces the value of a practice upon sale.

PracticeAssure(TM) engages solo attorneys to take the necessary steps in protecting their clients' files and money, protecting the value of the law practice, making the practice a marketable practice, and protecting the attorney's estate by implementing simple steps in succession planning over a one year period.

Ms. Sirkin will be speaking at an introductory seminar regarding the above risks and how attorneys can minimize them:

Seminar Date: April 17, 2007 Time: 12:00 p. m.-12:30 p. m. Pacific

Place: Internet. This is a virtual seminar. If you are unable to attend at the date or time above, please email a request for virtual files.

To Register for the introductory seminar and for more information about the PracticeAssure(TM), email Info @ SirkinLaw. com.

Mina N. Sirkin is a Board Certified Specialist Attorney in Estate Planning, Probate and Trust Law by the Board of Legal Specialization of the State Bar of California. Ms. Sirkin practices in Los Angeles County, California. She was the legal expert to PrimeTime News, CBS 2 / KCAL 9 on the death of Anna Nicole Smith. http://www. SirkinLaw. com (http://www.

Catholic Health Initiatives SVP and Chief Medical Officer Dr. John Anderson to Present Keynote at the Fall Collaborative Communications Summit

John Anderson, MD, FACS, the Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Catholic Health Initiatives will address the Summit on Nov. 5, providing his perspective on the ever-changing healthcare provider landscape and the rapid pace at which health information technology is impacting these changes.

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 23, 2007

The implementation of various technologies designed to improve the overall quality of healthcare has become top priority in most healthcare organizations and facilities throughout the country. It's possible that the most difficult task in these implementations is targeting the proper HIT initiatives for specific circumstances.

Dr. Anderson's numerous experiences enable him to lend a unique perspective to the current whirlwind transformation healthcare is undergoing due to technological advancements and the ever-increasing importance of patient safety and privacy. Prior to joining Catholic Health Initiatives, Dr. Anderson oversaw clinical integration and physician services at Baylor Health Care System of Dallas, Texas, and was the chief medical officer for the system's flagship hospital, Baylor University Medical Center. He has also served as the Chair of the Texas Hospital Association's Quality and Patient Safety Committee.

Ex British Army Veteran Shares Optimal Fitness Secrets Of The F. B.I. Course

Ex British Army Veteran Shares Optimal Fitness Secrets Of The F. B.I. Course

Staffordshire's premier personal trainer and British Army veteran, Steve Halls was inspired to turn his knowledge into a 90 day email course following presenting to the Academy of High Achievers alongside celebrities such as Sally Gunnell and Sir Chris Bonington.

(PRWEB) May 21, 2005

Staffordshire's premier personal trainer and British Army veteran, Steve Halls was inspired to turn his knowledge into a 90 day email course following presenting to the Academy of High Achievers alongside celebrities such as Sally Gunnell and Sir Chris Bonington.

He shared his idea with Debbie Jenkins of www. BookShaker. com and together they produced the FBI (Fit Body Initiative) which is an intensive 90 day health and fitness programme for people looking to get in shape and stay healthy.

Steve, who specialises in helping people with conditions that the mainstream fitness trainers and gyms avoid, is pleased to be able to offer access to his advice and motivation at a fraction of the cost of a single session.

Steve Halls says, "I tend to tackle things in a straightforward way. So if you're not ready for a shot of motivation coupled with the odd

Direct yet friendly shove in the right direction from time to time you probably won't like my course. If, on the other hand, your health is important and you appreciate that a little pushing could help then you'll appreciate what we've produced. And the FBI is a really affordable way to get solid advice."

Steve, who is well known for stretching and pushing clients to do that little bit extra doesn't buy into the seductive sales patter of people saying that getting in shape is easy.

Steve says, "Getting in great shape is often simple, but it's rarely easy. Just like anything, you have to put committed effort in to get anything back out. Wonder cures, potions and fad diets promising amazing results without a little sweat and effort are are good at getting your money but do little to help people really make a change."

Whether you're keen to look sharper, lose weight or simply increase energy, Steve's FBI course will take you step-by-step to a fitter, healthier body and mind.
