Why Kids Need to Have Good Posture
Published on May 30, 2019
Did you know that proper posture is vital to the function and maintenance of every part of your body-not just the muscles and joints? It also can impact organ-related health and can affect your longevity.
Roger Sperry, Ph.D., and Nobel Prize winner stated, “The more mechanically distorted a person is the less energy is available for thinking, metabolism and healing.” Stuck or distorted postures are the opposite of what I term a “power posture,” and we’re much less efficient at being able to move throughout the day.
Improve Your Mobility With Chiropractic and Massage
Published on May 27, 2019
If you experience mobility issues, you’ve likely been injured and are experiencing pain. We need to be much more intentional about the way that we move and increase our awareness as to how we move.

And this type of pain has actually nothing to do with the actual exercise you’re doing. Unfortunately, this type of pain can lead to limping or other compensation behaviors, which may result in back and leg pain!

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
Published on April 12, 2019
