Arnold Schwarzenegger was again the
featured speaker at the International Chiropractors
Association's 10th Annual Symposium on Natural Fitness
held February 22-23, 2002 in Columbus, Ohio. Arnold
spoke about his personal experience with chiropractic,
crediting the care he received throughout the years
for his success in bodybuilding and for his ability
to maintain such a rigorous filmmaking schedule. His
comments included the following:
"Chiropractic is about health and fitness and there
is such a strong relationship between the two. This
is why I'm so excited to have the chiropractors here
from all over the world each year, because you represent
exactly the same thing. Chiropractic is about health
and fitness. Chiropractic is about natural, preventive
health care. It can help families be healthier and also
spend time together doing something important to all
their lives. What we're trying to do is not just promote
the sport of bodybuilding, but fitness and health. Fitness,
for us, is everything in a naturally healthy lifestyle.
So that's why it is so great for us to work together."
Arnold, as well as many former and present athletes
realize that chiropractic can help them increase performance
and maintain good health. The nervous system controls
and coordinates all body function. Chiropractors work
by removing interference to the nervous system thus
allowing the body to function at its maximum potential.
Athletes understand that even the slightest advantage
in ability can make the difference in competition.
This year’s event, hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger
himself, included a multitude of fitness stars including
bodybuilding champion and fitness author Mr. Lee Haney.
Lee Haney, one of the greatest fitness stars of all
times made his second appearance at the ICA Symposium
this year. Mr. Haney holds the record of having won
the coveted bodybuilding title of Mr. Olympia for eight
straight years, besting Arnold himself who won that
title for seven. He also serves in the influential and
prestigious position of Chairman of the President’s
Council on Physical Fitness, a position in which he
has not hesitated to support the vital role of chiropractic
in fitness and health.
