Executive Physicals Will Now Incorporate Executive Coaching as Part of Health and Wellness Program

Executive Physicals Will Now Incorporate Executive Coaching as Part of Health and Wellness Program

Executive Medicine of Southlake and faculty from the Executive Coaching Program at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) School of Management are now working together to bring balance to the lives of executives. Patients who are seen for executive physicals will now be given an assessment by an executive coach and referred to a coach that is a good match for their individual needs.

Southlake, TX (PRWEB) June 30, 2005

Executive Medicine of Southlake, founded by Walter Gaman, MD, FABFM, FCFP and James Mark Anderson, MD, DABFM, is a full-service health and wellness center in which executives and their spouses can obtain their comprehensive physical exam. The exams include a wide range of testing such as thallium stress testing, full body scan, virtual colonoscopy, laboratory testing, fitness and wellness assessments, and now an executive coach assessment.

Co-author of "Executive Medicine: Optimizing Your Chances for a Longer Life," Dr. Gaman states, "During the course of writing our book we researched executive health needs that go beyond what we do in the office. It became clear that executive coaching is a valuable tool in bringing balance to the highly stressful lives of executives. In response, we sought out the best of the best for our patients."

Executive Medicine of Southlake has selected faculty from the University of Texas at Dallas graduate program for Executive and Professional Coaching as a basis for referral. Founded in 2004 as part of Executive Education at The UTD School of Management, the UTD Executive and Professional Coaching Program is directed by Dr. Robert Hicks.

Dr. Hicks, an organizational psychologist, emphasizes the importance of the connection between a person's physical health and their professional well being. "We've learned that professional well being and physical well being go hand in hand and profoundly affect an executive's work performance and efficiency. For this reason, professional coaching is a natural extension of executive medicine," he says.

"Each coach that has been added to our referral basis has come by high recommendation of their peers and has passed a comprehensive interview with the members of our medical team. We are pleased to announce our alliance with UTD and are positive that the expertise of these individuals will enrich the lives of our patients," reports Dr. Anderson.

Executive coaching, which first became popular in the 1990s, is being utilized by many companies and organizations. The benefits of coaching include increased productivity and reduced stress. "We are excited to see leaders in preventative health embracing our role in the emotional and life balance of their patients. This alliance is sure to be successful because of the strength of the high-level collaboration from multiple professional disciplines," states Judith Feld, a Master Certified Coach (International Coach Federation) and a program manager with the Executive and Professional Coaching Program at UTD.

Associate Dean for Executive Education at UTD Dr. David Springate agrees with Ms. Feld, adding, "The coaching program has given us additional opportunities to help individuals and corporations in our area. We look forward to working together with Executive Medicine of Southlake and their patients."

Executive Medicine of Southlake is dedicated to the health and wellness of its patients and celebrates in the successes of each individual. "Being a patient at Executive Medicine of Southlake, is like having a medical team rally around you and give you individualized five-star service. Now, we have taken that service to an even higher level," explains Amber Morgan, Certified Medical Office Manager of Executive Medicine.

Dr Bruce Lubitz Uses Chiropractic to Treat Lower Back Pain During Pregnancy

Dr Bruce Lubitz Uses Chiropractic to Treat Lower Back Pain During Pregnancy

Dr. Bruce Lubitz of Community Holistic Health Clinic discusses how chiropractic care can alleviate lower back pain during pregnancy. Chiropractic care can be beneficial before, during, and after pregnancy.

Tempe, AZ (PRWEB) April 7, 2006

It is estimated that two-thirds of American women will experience lower back pain by the 36th week of pregnancy. Dr. Bruce Lubitz, a local Tempe, AZ chiropractor, has been helping pregnant women to relieve their lower back pain and is getting excellent results without the use of drugs.

According to Dr. Lubitz, "Many women are told by their physician that they simply need to wait until after birth to be alleviated from their pain. This is not true. Chiropractic care can not only treat lower back pain, but often leads to a quicker and less painfull labor process. Women do not have to simply accept lower back pain during pregnancy, now they can do something to prevent it."

Lower back pain is such a prevalent symptom during pregnancy for the following reasons: women experience significant weight gain that adds stress to the lower back, their center of gravity changes during pregnancy which causes muscular imbalances and muscle fatiguing, and they experience hormonal surges which cause joint laxity and decreased joint support.

Dr. Lubitz says that, "Chiropractic care should be used throughout the whole pregnancy process. Before a woman becomes pregnant, a proper examination can reveal imbalances in the spine or pelvis that can lead to lower back pain during pregnancy and neuromusculoskeletal problems after birth. During pregnancy, I can make recommendations for appropriate stretching and activities of daily living that can strengthen lower back muscles. After pregnancy, many women still experience lower back pain due to stretching of the ligaments. Treatment for this should be done before the ligaments return to their pre-pregnancy state. Chiropractic care should really be administered throughout the whole pregnancy process."

Dr. Lubitz offers his first visit free of charge to any woman looking into chiropractic and how it can treat lower back pain before, during, and after pregnancy. "This way they can be well informed and it won't cost them anything." Dr. Bruce Lubitz, D. C., is located at 2504 South Rural Road, Tempe, AZ 85282. He can be reached by telephone at 480-968-7767 or reached through his website at: www. backpainfix. com.

Pearson, Intel Capital and Ascend Venture Group Invest in Innovative Educational Game Designer, Tabula Digita

Pearson, Intel Capital and Ascend Venture Group Invest in Innovative Educational Game Designer, Tabula Digita

Pearson Extends Commitment to Video Games for Learning

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 21, 2010

Pearson, the global leader in education and education technology, has extended its commitment to video games for learning by taking a minority stake in Tabula Digita, a pioneer in educational gaming technology, as part of $4.7 million Tabula Digita financing led by Intel Capital. This represents the third round or Series C funding for Tabula Digita.

For the past year, Pearson and Tabula Digita have offered 3rd - 8th grade classrooms a special line of Tabula Digita's award winning DimensionM math series, called DimensionM Powered by Pearson. The math series, developed by Tabula Digita, is aligned to Pearson's market-leading elementary and middle school programs: Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley enVisionMATH, Prentice Hall Middle Grades Mathematics, and Connected Math - CMP2. 

In the new phase of the relationship, Pearson and Tabula Digita have agreed to deepen their partnership and develop new educational games across key content areas of the K-12 curriculum.

About 200,000 young people have enhanced their learning of mathematics through Tabula Digita games since they were introduced in 2007. Students compete to solve problems that are part of the video games, and Tabula Digita has staged tournaments in New York City, Austin, Texas, and other locations that pit elementary and middle school students against their classmates and students from other schools.

"Our partnership with Tabula Digita has shown that students and teachers are enthusiastically engaged with DimensionM," said Pearson's CEO for School Curriculum Peter Cohen. "With 99% of boys and 94% of girls of all racial and ethnic groups and incomes playing games, we want to engage them on their digital turf now. With the DimensionM games like Meltdown, Swarm, Obstacle Course and TowerStorm, we are right there meeting millions of kids in their digital world. Video games have captured the imaginations of our children, as confirmed by research by the Pew Charitable Trust (http://www. pewinternet. org/Press-Releases/2008/Major-new-study-shatters-stereotypes-about-teens-and-video-games. aspx)."

Tabula Digita CEO, Nt Etuk, said, "The investment of Pearson, the online leader in global education, validates the value that educational games bring to student learning. We will continue working with Pearson to align our games to targeted areas of their research-based curriculum programs and to bring our games to even more children here in the U. S., and around the world."

Eileen Lento, Government and Education Strategist at Intel, said, "Tabula Digita's educational games provide a rich landscape of adventure and challenge that appeal to today's learners. Not only do the games engage students, the learners must exercise a skill set that closely maps to the thinking, planning, learning, and technical skills increasingly demanded by employers. This type of educational offering helps to address one of the nation's most pressing needs -- strengthening our education system and preparing workers for 21st century careers."

Research conducted at the University of Central Florida and the University of North Carolina indicate that student performance improved significantly for those students who had access to the DimensionM math games.

Gaming currently features in about 25 products and services throughout Pearson's businesses, including Penguin eBooks on Nintendo DS; Family Education Network's hugely-popular Poptropica; quizzes and word games as part of the digital path of Reading Street, a reading program for young learners; and Criminal Justice Interactive, an experimental learning environment for higher education students in criminal justice.

"Gaming is a central part of Pearson's strategy to engage people of all ages throughout our businesses," said Genevieve Shore, Pearson's director of digital strategy. "We are very excited to extend our partnership with Tabula Digita, which will help us reach more young people eager to learn while having fun through games."
