Winter is coming, and I am pretty sure you read my last blog about being active during fall and winter. I often find new things to do in order to keep myself active. One of my friends invited me to join her CrossFit training (CFCS) that she found on Facebook. I knew nothing about [...]
Yeah, I know it’s sad to say that summer is over. Here come the cold and heartless fall and winter. No more swimming, cycling, or even walking freely at River Front Park without wearing a heavy jacket. However, there are no excuses for you not to be active during the cold season. Here are some [...]
It has been a great honor to be a part of the healing process of many individuals in the past few years. Some of them have received benefit from manual therapy and some of them have gained great benefit from movement therapy. Often, both approaches are required to truly improve the conditions that I have [...]
Many of us experience neck and shoulder pain, as there is so much we do with our hands; however, if we’re experiencing more than our fair share it seems it’s likely that it has very much to do with how we use our bodies not just our hands. Our posture and body mechanics, as well [...]
Everything that moves in and out of our body does so through fluids, and anything that must move around within our body does so within fluid.

Sunscream! It’s that time of year again to get into the great outdoors. You could be enjoying a day on the beach, or river, or just out doing some yard work. You know who you are. You wait ‘til the first nice sunny day or weekend and may not remember to put on the sunscreen [...]
I am more a cyclist than a runner (as you can see from my profile picture). However, it doesn’t stop me from expanding my horizons as a physical therapist. Recently, I went to a barefoot running seminar at a local recreation equipment store. I was just curious about all of the recent buzz of barefoot [...]
We’ve all heard this, and probably even said it, but it sure seems to be true. With all that we have come to “know” about our bodies, it is so humbling to remember that even our best guesses are simply shots in the dark. At a recent training that our clinicians at Synergy attended, I [...]
Ok, let’s keep it straight. Everyone knows fast food is not the best choice for our health. However, we eat it anyway because it’s fast, cheap, and convenient. I mean most people don’t have the privilege of waiting in a fancy restaurant and ordering a $50 plate of Beef Wellington for lunch! Most Americans don’t [...]
“And then all of a sudden…” another story is told about a problem that a person didn’t see coming. It is easy to imagine that if we were to knock on a door with their forehead each time we came to a closed door we would likely develop headaches (and not to mention neck problems). It seems so obvious that, [...]
