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."
The Blessing of the Hands
Blessed are the works of thy Hands, O Doctor of Chiropractic!
Blessed are the hands that touch life in the Eternal Now.
Blessed are the hands that release the healing powers of Life unto Itself.
Blessed are the hands that banish pain.
Blessed are the hands that point the way to health.
Blessed are the hands that gesture with the wonder of Life.
Blessed are the hands that Give for the sake of Giving.
Blessed are the hands that Love for the sake of Loving.
Blessed are the hands that lift to heaven in thanks for Many Blessings.
Blessed are the hands that unfold with a Lasting Purpose.
Blessed are the hands that reach out and have been received.
Blessed are the hands that have closed in righteous anger. Blessed are the hands that are aching and scarred in doing just works.
Blessed are the hands now old and knotty from helping others.
Blessed are the hands that pray for the good of many.
Blessed now are the works of thy Hands, O Doctor of Chiropractic!
Dedicated to the unity of all doctors of this country.
