Carlsbad Real Estate News and Views

I found a terrific Encinitas Massage Therapist today - Kendra Stidolph HHP Massage Therapy in Encinitas. And, coincidentally, she happens to be in the same office as my favorite Chiropractor in Encinitas, Scott Lund Chiropratic Encinitas.

Kendra is a Carlsbad native who practices Lomi Lomi massage, a Hawaiian form of bodywork, and had the great fortune to study with Kahu Abraham Kawai'I and his wife Ho'okahi on Kaui and Oahu.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage  

While I have had lots of different types of massages, including Swedish, Shiatzu and Deep Tissue, the Lomi Lomi massage was a new, and most pleasant, massage experience. Lomi Lomi is a very fluid massage, according to Kendra, and this form of massage works at clearing blocked areas due to tension by repeatedly going over the muscle numerous times.

The Lomi Lomi massage practitioner uses more than just the hands to derive the maximum benefit of the massage which also, interestingly, means less stress and injury to the hands from some other forms of massage.

There was also more stretching and movements of arms and legs during the Lomi Lomi massage, which was also relaxing but served to make me realize the importance of keeping the major joints (shoulders and hips) fluid and flexible. Time to get back to yoga classes. 

The massage room was comfortable, attractively decorated, and designed to promote relaxation, as one would expect. And the quiet Hawaiian slack key guitar music in the background was subtle but a most pleasant accompaniment. I could almost imagine having my massage on some Hawaiian beach. 

Another service this Encinitas Massage Therapist provides is Pregnancy Massage, designed to help moms-to-be deal with the many body changes occurring during pregnancy, including back, hip and lower extremity issues. Once again, Kendra had the opportunity to train with a leading practitioner in pregnancy massage, Kate Jordan. 

If you are seeking an Encinitas Massage Therapist, Kendra Stidolph Massage Therapy in Encinitas gets my hearty recommendation. Give her a call at (76) 275-2214 to arrange an appointment. Her massage therapy practice is at 1524 Encinitas Boulevard, Encinitas (at Lund Chiropractic Encinitas).

Folks living in Southern California have the great fortune to be able to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle year-round, so knowing about Barbecues Galore in Encinitas California is kinda important. 

Whether you are selling to create a full outdoor kitchen, or simply to have a smaller barbeque to grill outside whenever your heart desires, Barbeques Galore in Encinitas California has what you need. From high end built-grills with refrigerators and sinks, to portable grills, and everything in between, you will find what you need to create that outdoor paradise at Barbeques Galore. 

Are you a charcoal fan, like me? They have it. Gas grills are probably more common and they come in a variety of styles and sizes. Like smoked food? Barbeques Galore has a number of choices as well. And there is the newer technology, Crossray grills that simulate restaurant searing. 

As one would hope, they offer all the extras, too - some furniture, rubs, grill equipment, lighting and so much more. Looking to create an outdoor kitchen island? Barbeques Galore can do that, too. 

Of course with the chilly evenings we can have near the coast, even in the summer, you will likely want to consider a heat lamp...a basic staple in most Southern Californian's back yards so you can, for the most part, dine outdoors all year. Our heat lamp comes with a light as well, so we can dine outside just about anytime we want, except in the coldest of evenings. 

Barbeques Galore Encinitas California can probably meet the needs of most people, even those able to spend tens of thousands on their outdoor kitchens. And you can order on-line as well on their website. Need a Barbeques Galore near you? Check out their store locator.

NOTE - do check their store locator since I know some of the stores have closed as the result of the economic issues they adn other retailers are facing.

If you want a healthy drink that will help keep you feeling fit and healthy, you need to visit one of the best Encinitas Juice Bars, Fountain of Youth Juice Bar Encinitas California. 

I paid a visit there after hearing much about the many loyal customers who stop by for their various nutrition drinks, cleanses and so much more, in addition to delicious sandwiches and other edibles. The focus, however, is on fresh squeezed fruit juices, organic vegetable juices, juice combinations (V5, V6, V7, and V10 for example), smoothies (with healthy additions such as protein powder, Vitamin C, bee pollen, calcium, Ginseng and wheat germ), wheatgrass shots, fresh sandwiches, and much more. 

Abdul and Tania are the friendly and knowledgeable owners of Fountain of Youth Juice bar in Encinitas California, and you can't help but feel welcomed, whether you are a first time visitor or one of the many clients who stop in regularly for smoothies, cleanses, shots or lunch. Need help or have questions? Abdul and Tania are a wealth of information. 

Do you know about the real value of wheatgrass juice, for example: 

• Body cleanser
• Body builder
• Appetite suppressant and energizer
• Aids in rebuilding the bloodstream (anemia)
• Skin disorders 

There are also a wide range of benefits attributable to raw vegetable juices (these are NOT FDA sanctioned) as a result of the vitamins and minerals they contain. Here are just a few examples: 

• Apple - antioxidant, boost brain function
• Beets - used to treat anemia, bladder problems, relives menstrual and menopause symptoms
• Carrots - good to eyes, teeth, bones and skins
• Celery - reduces high blood pressure, great for weight loss
• Mint - great to digestive system, and as a diuretic
• Spinach - more protein than most vegetables, plenty of iron for blood formation, improves circulation
• Tomato - antioxidant. Helps to cleanse the liver and controls sugar in the urine 

You can, and should, become a fan of Fountain of Youth Juice Encinitas California on their Facebook page where you will get regular tips of eating and staying healthy through the power of fresh fruit and vegetables, alone or in various combinations. It's like having your own personal Internet nutritionist!

For folks with lower back or neck problems and related spinal issues who are seeking a chiropractor in Encinitas, Lund Chiropractic Encinitas California may be just what the doctor ordered for neuromuscular health.

While for many years chiropractic care was frowned upon by many medical professionals, and those who practiced the science were viewed with skepticism in many cases, chiropractic care has become increasingly popular in the 20^th century with a variety of studies documenting many benefits that can arise from manipulation or "adjustment" of the vertebrae of the spine and the resulting impact on muscles, organs and overall general health. 

I spent some time with Dr. Scott Lund, a chiropractor in Encinitas and owner of Lund Chiropractic Encinitas California, to learn some more about his practice and philosophy (view the video below). I have been a patient of his for over 3 years now for my own back and neck pain issues (I saw a chiropractor in the Boston area for some time before my relocation), so I can testify as to the benefits of chiropractic care. 

Apart from my own experience with pain relief, I really like Dr. Lund's approach to and philosophy of specialized care based on the individual patient's needs, whether they are long or short term. He is always willing to take time to listen, answer questions and provide recommendations to supplement the adjustments he performs. And with more than 20 years of experience, and having had his own personal positive experiences with chiropractic care (listen to the video), he understands the pain and discomfort that many folks experience and customizes an approach to care for each patient. 

If you are seeking a chiropractor in Encinitas, Lund Chiropractic Encinitas California is worth checking out. Consider that a strong personal recommendation. Lund Chiropractic Encinitas is located at 1524 Encinitas Boulevard around the corner from Trader Joe's. (760) 753-4300
