Wellness Focus – Heat and Ice, more about

Posted on 11/15/2013

It is interesting to hear different accounts of why heat or ice is a preferred treatment modality or for home self care.We see how emergency rooms typically recommend ice for the first 48 hours after an acute injury while physical therapists always use heat during a treatment session.

A 50 something year old patient saw me today after suffering an aggravation of his longstanding physical problems in the lower back and neck following his “desire to return to the game” and he was talking about Basketball.

As much as I encourage people to stay physically active as part of general fitness efforts, along with good eating and good sleep habits, there is often a mental game that needs a reality check. It…

Posted on 10/21/2013

What was so surprising was the advanced levels of spinal disc degeneration with associated disc bulging that was there in black and grey on the MRI image and how the discs had…

Posted on 10/07/2013

Responsibility comes from “having the ability to respond” or to put it another way, what you can demonstrate the ability to respond to is what you can claim responsibility over. Not being able to respond means you cannot be responsible for or even that you are actually being irresponsible about… Your current mental, emotional and behavioral habits are what create your future.

Wellness Focus – Food Combining

Posted on 09/20/2013

Most of us want to eat a balanced diet but unfortunately we think that in order to get a balanced diet we need to eat every meal with all the food groups included; that is some protein, some carbohydrates, some vegetables and some fruits. Not all foods digest at the same Ph so some food may be incorrectly combined together when eaten and therefore interfere with ideal digestion. Eating these together results in improper digestion and can cause obesity, bloating, gas, Hiatal Hernia,…
