My Vote For Best Neuro/Pain Research Blog Ever
Published April 13, 2010 by DrCobb
If you have spent any time around Z-Health, or are just beginning to learn more about who we are and what we do, you will quickly learn about Lorimer Moseley, David Butler, and a host of other brilliant neuroscientists and clinicians that we both learn from and share ideas with. Dr. Moseley has what I believe to be one of the world's best blogs on neurology and pain and I would be remiss if I did not occasionally point it out.
His blog can be found here: http://bodyinmind.com.au/

Z-Health & Kettlebell Training
Published April 13, 2010 by DrCobb
This is a copy of an article I just wrote for Pavel Tsatsouline about Z-Health and his kettlebell training program - the RKC. Enjoy!
Can RKC & Z-Health Co-Exist?
A Definitive Answer
Over the last several months it has become apparent that many people want definitive answers to some basic questions about RKC and Z-Health. Pavel has asked for this article to help put an end to the controversies and confusion. So, let’s jump right in with an extremely basic Q&A that encompasses almost all of controversies that we hear from both “sides:”

Z-Health The Business vs. Z-Health The System
The Fitness Certification Industry
Published March 24, 2010 by DrCobb
In the last two weeks we have learned that several R, I, S & T certified Z-Health trainers have joined forces and launched their own certification course. While we do not know the content of the course, we do know all of the trainers involved as avid learners and coaches. We wish them the best in their new endeavors.
On another note, we have been receiving numerous calls over the last several months asking about the RKC, CK/FMS and many other certifications. Our advice is always to do what we do: find the best and learn from them!
Dr. Mercola on FDA

While I am not a big fan of getting involved in political discussions, I thought that this article and Dr. Mercola's comments were excellent. Food for thought and a call to action...

I was reviewing some of my quotes that I keep on file today and ran across this one by Bruce Lee. Lee was for me, like most martial artists from the 70's in the States, an iconic figure for a period of time. While I was never a huge fan of his movies (apologies to any that I may offend with that statement 
) I was always fascinated by him as an athlete.
The Biggest Loser
Published October 03, 2009 by DrCobb
Just this week, I read an outstanding editorial review on the hit TV show The Biggest Loser. I am often asked about this show by both athletes and trainers, all of whom want my opinion on the show. Unfortunately, the tone of the show is so disturbing to me and I watch so little TV that I have only ever managed to watch about 5 minutes of it. This is what I tell everyone who asks... "What I have seen is dangerous and very disturbing on many levels. I also think that it is creating tremendous confusion for people who are trying to lose weight.
Coming Soon...

If you've been following your monthly Z-Health newsletter, you are more than likely aware of some fantastic new changes in the works. The biggest one currently is that our new facility is now officially open! We took official possession of the facility today and are very anxious to begin finalizing our setup. It is a tremendous space that will serve the growing needs of Z-Health very, very well. We look forward to sharing some pictures with you soon as things take shape.
Federer - The Best Ever
Published September 27, 2009 by DrCobb
One of my favorite activities is watching the best of the best in all sports and attempting to reverse engineer the movements, coordination and motor skills that make certain athletes elite. The "past time" has occupied the vast majority of both my personal and professional life for the last 25 years. With the advent and growth of our technology, our analytical capacities have expanded exponentially. This article, from the NY Times, is a fantastic example of just this process.
Attention Density - The Neuroscience of Progress?
Published September 22, 2009 by DrCobb
Just a quick post today as we are inundated with US and European teaching responsibilities along with the opening of the new Z-Health Performance Center in Arizona. Things are busy, busy, busy! However, I wanted to take just a minute and share this great article with you. If nothing else, it should make you think... It's a great example of how the slowly emerging field of neuroscience may eventually lead us to levels of performance that boggle the mind. Enjoy!
Z-Health is cutting edge material that will give additional ways to treat patients or train clients. The techniques can work fast, but it is a process that you can use professionally and personally for a lifetime.

I cannot tell you how much I recommend the Z Health certifications. After attending the Essentials of Elite Performance, I’m dedicating 10% of all brain function to finding a way to fund my next 2 years of getting through all the certification levels, ha! I’m a very critical person, and I have high expectations (that are seldom met by continuing education classes), and Z-Health is jaw dropping, hands-down, 100% amazing.
Shanie, San Francisco
Just try it, the Essentials of Elite Performance course is the one of the best athletic improvement courses and the most paradigm shifting course you can take for the cost. You will be amazed with the results.
Mike, New Jersey
You could not use your money in a better way. It is an investment in how you are going to live your life for the rest of your life if you want the best for yourself.
Bente, Denmark
The workshop was inspiring; it gives a fun, intellectually stimulating and satisfying approach to the human body and movement. It challenges a lot of ingrained beliefs and forces one to rethink the approach to training and teaching.
Erik, Denmark
Do it. It’s absolutely the best investment I have made in my career and life. Your whole world will expand and improve at the end of every workshop. There is nothing else out there like it that I have found.
Leslie, Los Angeles
Do you want to be a part of the future of the fitness industry? Gotta go to “Z”.
Stephen, Oklahoma
I needed CEUs for my NASM re-cert, but I was very excited about this workshop after having been bored by many others before it. Now it is more than a CEU quest; it has changed my view of training profoundly. I look forward to continuing [my] education and certification with you! The best workshop I have ever taken – REALLY!
Karen, Maryland
I 100% recommend Z-Health to anyone who is serious about becoming the best professional they can be.
Thomas, New Jersey
All of life is discovery. Why not discover how movement can improve everything you do physically?
Gary, Colorado
I think you guys are awesome. Passionate, articulate instruction and ample opportunities to get feedback on my performance and teaching made this a great experience.
Mark, New Mexico
I would highly recommend Z-Health. It will change your view of what you do, no matter what you do. Don’t hesitate.
Henri, New Hampshire
Awesome! I like the fact that you guys are able to present on such complex topics and still manage to do so in a language that everybody can understand. Extremely good content and good balance between theory and practice.
Tommy, Denmark
I move better; I feel better; I find movement fun again. It’s like the thrill of being a kid again. Movement becomes a thrill and a joy. If we are interested and willing, we can get better with age and good training. Z-Health is essential for good training.
Ron, California
The rabbit hole goes much deeper. Z-Health is much more than a joint mobility system.
Michael, Illinois
If I get one idea [from a workshop] and implement it, it’s worth it. This workshop gave me hundreds of ideas and I want to implement them all. I’ve absolutely never had more value for money and I’ve done a lot of workshops.
Rob, Netherlands
If you want to truly get out of pain and improve every function in your body (including the problems you aren’t aware of) then this course is priceless. You can’t buy a perfectly functioning body.
Jenny, Edinburgh
"Suffice it to say that if not for Z-Health, I would have given up on the idea of living a life free of pain and one of happiness. "
