When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
"Arnold Schwarzenegger Adjusting Table" to be Auctioned
For the first and only time, international film star Arnold Schwarzenegger has put his signature on a chiropractic adjusting table that will be auctioned June 1 through July 31 by the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) as part of a fundraising campaign.
The table, a motorized Leader 900 Z, was signed by Mr. Schwarzenegger at the 13th annual Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic Fitness Expo, which is held each year in conjunction with the ICA's Symposium on Natural Fitness.
The "Arnold Schwarzenegger Signature Adjusting Table" was donated for the auction by Leader Health Technologies. The features of the motorized Leader 900 Z include:
- motorized continuous passive motion (CPM);
- flexion/distraction;
- lateral flexion;
- hinged cervical section;
- electrical variable speed (evs);
- flexion timer;
- dual on/off foot switches;
- separate patient "off" switch;
- commercial grade vinyl upholstery;
- full three-year nonpro-rated warranty (except cushions - one year), and
- "one-touch" ergonomic controls (hinged cervical and ankle sections, T-bar, face cushions, and lateral flexion).
The complete table specifications can be found on the Leader website at: www.theLeader.com/tables/900z.html
If you are the successful bidder, you will receive:
