Kinesio Tape

Hey all dudes!

What has this Chiro student been up to since a while back.... Well I have learned how to tape Kinesio!!! its so good!!!!! LOVE IT!!! All my patients and friends are walking around with tape now... Sorry guys but you need it! Studies are progressing this sem, so much 2 do, its hard to keep up with everything we have to read and do, I'm so lucky that I've found what I really like to do, it makes it so much easier! Chiropractic is the future in health care, i'm absolutely 100% sure of that!

I also have found a really good friend, her name is Emily, awesome humor, smart and has a pure positive heart! Thx Em for being that person!!

'What else is new??? Not much I guess, just a lot of study, thats it!!! I'm going out for awhile 2 night, birthday thingy in Freo

This is how I look right now.... Kinesio is the shit.... hahaha

C U dudes

Gonstead

Hi all my fellow friends :) I just came back from Sydney, had an amazing time there :) The reason to why Mr Martin was there, was because of a seminar in the Chiropractic Technique "Gonstead" Which I have come to like very much!!!! its totally awesome, its so bloody hard to do and its very demanding as a Chiro, the reason to this is because you have to be so incredibly specific in everything you do, everything has to be synced to the ms!!! But if this is the hardest technique in Chiropractic, I want to learn it!!!!! Everybody that know me very well know that I love things that are hard and difficult and almost impossible ;) So now its practice practice and practice.....

I also got the chance to speak with Dr Alex Cox, he is about 80 yo now, he worked with Dr Gonstead himself, I just had to learn who Dr Gonstead was and he told me so much about him, he also told me that the technique Gonstead is hard in the beginning but after many years of training you will be ok and after 30 years of training you will be better..... hmm something tells me that I have a long way to go..... but i'm ok with that, coz this is such a awesome technique!!!!!!!! He also asked me "When I leave this earth, will you Mr Martin Isaksson, carry the Gonstead technique further and train Students like yourself" I told him that both him and Dr Gonstead will be proud!!!

Back to study again, I will leave you with a quote from a very wise man

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it" Buddha

Sweden

My Chiropractic journey is about to cont, and I really look forward to become a Professional Chiropractic student, and progress my skills, I now how much I need to learn, from all my patients during this summer as I have been working with, there is much to learn and much to be researched about to unravel the mystery about the human body, and how it really works! It will take me a lifetime to just scratch the surface    ! But my interest will not let you down my friend!!! So thank you all for this time here in Sweden, next time I wright I will be in "Down Under" and give you more stories about the land far far away :)

Wow its been a while since I was here..... I wounder why???? Can it be all my freaking studies.... YES YES YES YES!!!! Well what do you do..... Its awesome thou, I've learned so many cool things this semester, its so much more clinical this semester, than it has been before, they really put you up to the test with actually knowing stuff, like anatomy you can rope learn and do really well, but with these clinical settings you have to understand and be able to come up with a clinical diagnosis. This is how we have to do it: Firstly do a complete history from the patient, and we have done this we should do physical examinations from this history to support our thinking, step 3 is actually come up with the disease or syndrome or reason to why the patient have these symptoms and signs.... easy..... NO NO NO NO!!!! but very very interesting to do, I really like to do these things, its like an challange every time!!!! Love it!!!! I have an other exam in 2 weeks time, with just this stuff, have only had like freaking 8 exams or something this semester so far.... and i'm still here :) Awesome hey!!!! I must say every year I've done so far has been pure holiday.... I did not feel that last year, then I thought it was so much studies.... The only difference is that now its so much more to do, not harder but content wise its so damn much!!!! Sometimes you wounder how the He... did I manage to get that awesome result???? I really mean it, I walked out from the exam thinking SHIT did I make it??? It feels like you actually empty your head out on a pce of paper.... Anyway, I'm glad to actually have been in here and saying HI :)

Cya all soon :) I'm back in SWEDEN the 18 of June :) he he he!!!
