“To change something- you have to change something!” It seems like all things are changing at an every increasing pace. Technology, the climate, the economy, education- I find it hard to keep up with it and sometimes feel overwhelmed. When I get an uneasy feeling about the external world I find it useful to focus …

“I cannot always control what goes on outside, But I can always control what goes on inside” “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” “Abundance is not something we acquire-it is something we tune into!” These are but a few of the life lessons I learned from …

Most people that come into my office for care have foot issues. As we age our feet go from supple (think about a babys’ feet!) and strong to weak and restricted. This is further complicated by restrictive, heavy footwear that prevent our feet from responding to changes in the ground underneath. For years I had …

Mary and I have hosted an awesome “Independence day” party for 20 years! Friends and family gather to celebrate our great country, we even sing some patriotic songs. In the midst of all the food, fun, and games I usually have some thoughts about our ‘independence”, especially since 9/11. Does the average American have more …

For months I have been obsessed with posture- my own, friends, and patients. Because of our sitting based lifestyle (at work, at the gym, driving, on the couch) many people develop forward head carry and a slumped shoulder posture. Why is this bad? It’s bad because forward head carry (FHC) can stretch the spinal cord …

Many, many, many people I know experience pain on a daily basis. Physical pain, emotional pain, mental pain, spiritual pain. We live in a demanding and stressful time and daily life puts many strains on our bodies, minds and spirits. We must begin to look at pain as an opportunity. Â An opportunity to change the …
