Groupon-Inspired Superfantastic 10-Day Team In Training Fundraiser Special Offer - Initial Workup and 2 Treatments for $40 donation!
Through St. Patrick’s Day, March 17!
For ten days we are offering a “Better-than-Groupon” promotion to new patients with a goal of rapidly raising additional funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
During the next 10 days, new patients can make a $40 or greater donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (Dr. Krohse’s Team in Training Dam to Dam Fundraiser) and we’ll provide a free initial workup (exam, any needed X-Rays, mechanical table massage, and report of findings) and two free treatment visits including any needed adjustments, Active Release Techniques, muscle stim, and mechanical table massage. This adds up to a tremendous value, and we hope you’ll share this with any friends or family who you feel may be interested in getting fixed up or tuned up for the upcoming racing season.
The (Not-So) Fine Print
Offer is available to new patients only. New patients are responsible to let us know they want to do the Groupon-style fundraiser offer. Donations may be made over the phone or in person through March 17. Initial workup visit must be scheduled by April 15. After the initial workup, the person has two weeks after that date to come in for their two free treatment visits. You may donate for friends or family as well.
Call (515) 309-1217 or stop in to make your donation by March 17!
Thank you for forwarding this on to your friends and family!

Just wanted to drop you a line thanking you so much for last night's workshop. I incorporated the simple techniques into my run tonight and I ran faster than I ever have, had more energy at the end - never ended up feeling winded or tired and actually felt like I could have gone another couple of miles - and my knees didn't hurt and aren't hurting now at all! Thank you so much. I'm thrilled and looking forward to my long run this Saturday to see what a difference it makes there.

Connie recommends Still Missing by Chevy Stevens
As soon as I started reading this book I struggled to put it down. It keeps your attention from beginning to end, and when you are not reading it you think about what
the victim is going through.It is about a realtor, Annie O’Sullivan, who is kidnapped from an open house she is hosting. This book is different because it is actually told by her after she escapes a year later. She is talking to her therapist and retells her story while at the same time she is trying to survive back in the real world. I have seen so many movies where someone is kidnapped and the whole story is about finding the victim but that is usually when the story ends. This story is told beautifully because it keeps you in suspense of what happened to her during her time in captivity and is also about how she is coping and what she is going through trying to live a normal life again. So if you are looking for a great read while the weather is still cold, wrap up in a blanket and grab this book. You will not be able to put it down.
Abbey Recommends a Night of Bowling
Ask yourself this question: When was the last time I went bowling? If you have or haven't gone in a while I highly recommend a Friday night of bowling with close friends. A couple of months ago I went bowling with a couple of really good friends and had absolute blast. I had not gone in probably four to five years and couldn't believe how much I missed it and I can't wait to do it again! Some bowling alley's offer night bowling which means the bowling alley is set up with black lights, fun lights, and music that make for a fun experience and puts you in a happy mood. Also, as a former athlete is was fun to be in a competitive atmosphere again. So if you are looking for a fun night with a little bit of competitive edge I recommend a night of bowling! It's great for kids of all ages ( including those that are over 20 :) ).Dr. Krohse Recommends Personal Trainers and Coaches

Everything You Know about Nutrition is Wrong
This is one of the best articles I’ve read about nutrition. In my opinion, it is what the new USDA Dietary Guidelines should be if the USDA wasn’t in a conflict of interest where it has to support all types of farmers as well as manufacturers of overprocessed crap (pardon my French).
& a Recipe
Dr. Krohse’s Super-Healthy Salsa Cilantro Pepper Quinoa Soup
This simple and filling soup starts with a base of Birdseye Frozen Pepper Mix having only 25 calories per cup. Whole grains come from the “superfood” quinoa (keen-wa). It can easily be customized to suit the nutritional needs of vegetarians, pescetarians, and meat-lovers. I love it!
In a large pot bring to a boil:
4 bags Birdseye Frozen Pepper mix
1 bundle cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh or dried garlic
2 cans crushed or diced tomatoes or Rotel
Salsa/picante sauce to your desired spice level and flavor (I probably added 3-4 cups of medium Pace Picante Sauce)
1-2 cups water
In a separate pan prepare 1 cup of whole grain quinoa according to directions. Add to the large pot.
Add your desired protein source. I added chicken but it would be great with extra-firm tofu cubes or shrimp as well. You could also add black beans or garbanzo beans.Turn heat to low and simmer 30-45 minutes.
Serving recommendations:
Mix some low-fat cottage cheese in to your bowl to bump up the protein content and take the place of sour cream and cheddar cheese.
Sprinkle a few crushed Baked Tostitos onto your bowl to give it a little crunch.
Enjoy!
Condition of the Month – Shoulder Pain
Only one bone, the collarbone, connects the shoulder to the central body. Because of this, the shoulder has great range of motion but requires tremendous coordination of the muscles in the region to work properly. Important muscles include the rotator cuff muscles as well as the shoulder blade stabilizing muscles. All of these muscles are controlled by nerves exiting the spine in the lower neck and very top of the back. If this area of the spine becomes injured or aggravated, it can cause pain and dysfunction in the shoulder. Additionally, problems in the muscles of the shoulder themselves can cause pain into the neck. Poor posture is a major cause of pain between the shoulder blades in the upper back.
A thorough exam determines problem muscles, joints, and nerves in the shoulder region. Stabilizing and healing an injured shoulder starts with restoring proper control of the shoulder muscles. Adjustments of the lower neck decrease joint and nerve irritation and restore that control. The appropriate Active Release Techniques problem-focused soft tissue work, strengthening exercises, and stretches will also be recommended to fix the shoulder quickly and permanently.
