Today we’d like to introduce you to Alfred Medina.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Alfred Medina. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I started the business after I was involved in a life altering car accident. I was paralyzed from head to toe on my left side. Conventional western medicine wanted to take a drastic approach. Through research and actual hands on soft tissue manipulation of my own body I was able to reach deeper into the pressure points. I tapped the sensory nerves to wake up the paralysis. I also studied nutrition and used myself as a guinea pig to test natural herbs to diminish the injuries to my brachial and solar plexus. Through those and other methods, re: rehab and fitness, I was able to heal myself. At that point I went on to pursue my higher education at Boston University and became a Licensed Kinesiologist and Exercise Physiologist. I opened the Sports and Lifestyle Clinic over 30 years ago to use my talent and knowledge to bring healing to others. I also developed my own natural herbal supplement, SLC Optimum Health (joint and soft tissue support) and trademarked my own SLC Rapid Release Technique, which gets to the cause of the pain, providing immediate relief, often times resulting in the patient avoiding costly and unnecessary surgical procedures.
Has it been a smooth road?
There have been struggles along the way-my car accident was life altering but I overcame it and am stronger today than I was prior to the accident-both mentally and physically. I pride myself in overcoming challenges – if someone tells me that I won’t be able to accomplish something, that just makes me want to achieve and accomplish more! I am patient, I adapt and I overcome.
At the Sports and Lifestyle Clinic, I bring my positive energy and my passion for healing each and every day. This isn’t a job for me-I walk the walk of fitness, good health and discipline. I start my day at 3:00 in the morning with my exercise regimen and then I see my patients and finish at 8:00pm.
I know how precious life is-and I am passionate about transforming my patients’ lives so they can attain a high quality of life as well.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Sports and Lifestyle Clinic – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
The Sports and Lifestyle Clinic is an elite wellness clinic in the heart of South Miami. We provide soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation, conditioning, strengthening, sculpting and nutrition counseling in a holistic setting-resulting in patients of all ages achieving major transformations and healing-improving their mental, physical and spiritual health. My SLC Rapid Release Technique-soft tissue manipulations are very unique- I have over 30 years’ experience and I use my hands to heal injuries that other healthcare provides have not been able to figure out. A patient will come in to the clinic with long standing pain. After many visits to other providers I often times am their last consultation before surgery.
Through patience and my years of experience in soft tissue manipulation, I am able to find the source of the pain and release the toxins that were trapped inside the tissue ultimately releasing the pain. I take great pride in seeing a patient resume their active lifestyle, pain free. Through the functional fitness programming our patients are stronger, lose weight and no longer need their prescribed medications.
The Sports and Lifestyle Clinic is unique in that we use a natural approach to pain management. Soft tissue manipulation is the alternative to surgery.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love South Florida. Living up North I wasn’t able to enjoy the beaches and the tropical climate year round. I am able to move my fitness outside- I cycle, swim, do boot camp outside on the Beach and in the beautiful South Florida parks. I don’t focus on the negative. I am a positive person and am always spreading my positive outlook and energy to my patients.
