Yoga is a system of spiritual, mental and physical training that is suitable for people of all ages. Yoga improves posture, increases the intake of oxygen, and enhances the functioning of the respiratory system. It does this through physical poses, breathing techniques, and meditation practice. When the exercises and poses are practiced regularly, it tones muscles and improves posture, movement, and balance. Almost anyone can benefit from Yoga, including the elderly, children, pregnant women, and those with chronic health problems.
Pilates is an exercise program that focuses on the core postural muscles that help keep the body balanced and are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of neutral alignment of the spine and strengthen the deep postural muscles that support this alignment. Pilates has currently become a popular form of exercise for anyone interested in total body awareness and well-being.
All Star provides classes conducted by some of the finest instructors in the area. Classes can be taught at the level of those who participate, and those with no experience are encouraged to try the classes.

All Star Golf

Dr. Robert A. Coppola, a Certified Golf Fitness Instructor, is trained in golf fitness and rehabilitation which enables him to evaluate and treat injuries specific to golf. With the use of digital video analysis and a functional testing examination specific to golf, All Star Golf features golf-specific training and strengthening equipment combined with therapeutic modalities that assist in proper recovery. After a thorough evaluation, a custom exercise program including postural stabilization exercises, balance and dynamic stability exercises, and a functional strength training program is combined with chiropractic treatment to encourage a timely and efficient recovery.

Golf requires both muscular strength and endurance in order to assure proper mechanics. The body has to work together to achieve proper dynamic stability and efficient loading that starts with the ankles, and ends with the wrist and hands. Realizing this, Dr. Coppola analyzes the entire golf swing, from start to finish, and correlates any swing faults to the functional examination to design a customized rehabilitation program for individual golfers.

Not only is All Star Golf beneficial for the injured golfer, it also greatly impacts a golfer's performance by correcting common swing faults such as casting, over-the-top, swaying, sliding, and reverse pivot shift, all which lead to problems such as slicing, hooking, and poor driving distance. Whether you are a scratch golfer, a serious beginner, or somewhere in-between, we have designed programs that allow development for all levels of players.

All Star now offers Massage Therapy!

All Star Chiropractic is pleased to announce its newest edition. Angela Robertson, a licensed massage therapist, is now part of the All Star Team, and is accepting new massage patients.

Physically, massage is beneficial in reducing and softening injured and overused muscles. While helping with muscle spasms and cramping muscles, massage increases joint flexibility and range of motion. Mentally and emotionally, massage reduces fatigue and stress while at the same time, releases endorphins, the body’s natural pain killer. Studies have also shown how massage can help stimulate the lymph system, which is the body’s natural defense against disease.

Angela is proficient in many different massage techniques including Swedish massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, deep tissue and sports massage. If it’s a sore muscle or just a stressful week, massage can make a difference.

At All Star, massage is often covered by most major medical insurance companies. If not, 1 hour massages are only $60.00, and ½ hour massages are $35.00. Call 859-727-6888 to schedule your massage.
