Arnold Schwarzenegger teams up with Annual Chiropractic Symposium ICA Fitness Council President Dr. Gerald R. Mattia presents special award to Arnold Schwarzenegger at 9th. Annual Symposium on Natural Fitness
Year after year, superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers an
enthusiastic statement of support for chiropractic care at the
International Chiropractors Association Symposium. The Association's
annual symposium on Natural Fitness has been held since 1993 in
conjunction with the Arnold Schwarzenegger Bodybuilding Classic and
Fitness Expo. Chiropractic offers athletes of all sports a natural,
drug-free way to achieve peak performance, prevent injury and maintain
a rigorous training schedule.
A strong supporter of chiropractic and a chiropractic patient himself for many years, Schwarzenegger told the group in 2001: "I depend on chiropractic and so does my whole family. I have been making a movie in Mexico and all of us on the set saw the chiropractor to keep us going. All of the crew, electricians, stunt people, actors, all of us, were adjusted regularly by this great woman chiropractor who worked around the clock to take care of us all. That's what chiropractors do, take care of people like no other kind of healer." Arnold later told the group, "Chiropractic is about health and fitness. Chiropractic is about natural, preventive health care. What you are doing, and I have experienced this for the last 20 years myself ... means that whenever I have a problem, or even if I don't have a problem, I go to a chiropractor." Looking ahead to future symposiums, Arnold suggested, "let's bring everyone together that represents health and fitness. We don't care if it's someone that lifts 500 tons of weights a day to keep their bodies in shape, or if someone is a gymnast, or if someone gets in shape by chiropractic. This is why I'm so excited to have the chiropractors here from all over the world each year, because Chiropractic is about health and fitness. Chiropractic is about natural, preventive health care. We all believe in the idea that health and fitness are fun, that it makes you happy, it makes you feel good, your whole outlook in life is totally different." | ||||||
