Pickleball Injuries are mounting. I have a solution.
Pickleball injuries are bringing a whole new set of patients into my practice –with a whole new set of injuries. I like to say pickleball is killing me because I am now inundated with requests for help from friends, existing clients and referrals who are suffering with pickleball injuries. But […]
Get the Most from ELDOA
You can get the most from ELDOA if you understand what it is and make sure you execute the postures properly. ELDOA is the best technique I have ever known for relieving and preventing back pain, improving posture, and making the spine and pelvis more flexible. It also counteracts the […]
Don’t Tape When You Can Strap.
Joint strapping is one of the most important skills any athletic trainer, trainer, physical therapist or rehab specialist can have today.

James Nestor’s Breathtaking Journey
James Nestor’s new book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, can change your life. It certainly is changing mine. We have forgotten how to breathe.
