If you were watching the Italy v England penalty shootout last night, you would have seen the amazing calmness of Andrea Pirlo under extreme pressure taking one of the best ever penalties.  Pirlo spent 10 years at AC Milan where they use many of the techniques we use at Life and Balance Centre including chiropractic care and biofeedback/neurofeedback.  It has been well documented at AC Milan that these techniques help players have the calm and focus required to accomplish the result.  See the penalty again here.

You may have felt it, but now a scientific analysis of stress over time offers some proof that there is more stress in peoples lives today than 25 years ago.

Stress increased 18% for women and 24% for men from 1983 to 2009, according to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, who analyzed data from more than 6,300 people. It is considered the first ever historical comparison of stress levels across the U.S.

"The data suggest there's been an increase in stress over that time," says psychologist and lead author Sheldon Cohen, director of Carnegie Mellon's Laboratory for the Study of Stress, Immunity and Disease. The analysis is published online in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology.

Dr. Tammy's Comments:
With stress levels at an all time high, finding ways to cope with stress is more important than ever.  Chiropractic care and Neurofeeback training makes your brain more flexible so you are more ready to perform physically and mentally when you want to but also more able to relax and heal when that is appropriate.  Chiropractic care makes you a more healthy version of who you want to be.
