Hey my friend!  I bet you're here because you read my article about Forward Head Posture (FHP) in the December issue of my newsletter.  I sent you here so that you could view some videos that will help you to better understand the dangers of FHP and how to improve it. First, check out this video.  It shows some different exercises you can do and some different habits you can implement to improve your FHP over time. Remember that postural exercises require more consistency than other exercises,...

Most of us have heard that being grateful is good for our mood and for our health.  Despite this knowledge, most of us struggle to stay grateful through all of life's situations.  Can you relate to that? The secret to gratitude is realizing that it is really nothing more than an attitude.  An attitude is "a settled way of thinking or feeling" and it is something that is very much changeable.  In order for our attitude to change though, we must first be willing to change...

Nearly every month since 2011 I have published a newsletter and nearly every month I have featured the story of one of my clients who reached their goals by following our unique program.  The main reason I do this is to encourage others with similar problems that there is hope for them too.  The only downside to sharing these stories is that sometimes they lead people to think that they should have results that are just as quick and just as dramatic.  This may not...

Earlier this afternoon my body was letting me know that my under active weekend was starting to take its toll.  Between the 5+ hours in the car yesterday, the standing around at my sons soccer game, and the 3 days away from the gym, I was definitely feeling the effects of my inactivity. You probably know what that feels like.  Your muscles feel stiff, your energy feels sluggish, and your brain feels less focused.  I hate feeling like that. I knew I had to do something, so after...

Have you ever had what you would call an “A-HA” moment? You know what I mean.  They're those moments where a light bulb goes off in your head and all of a sudden you have this new way of looking at something. Don’t you love those moments? This week I thought about one of those "A-HA" moments that I had several years ago. I thought it’d be useful for you to hear about it today. It was the winter of 2015 and I was in my office talking with a...

In my recent seminars I told the stories of two of my clients who were told by doctors that they needed to have orthopedic surgery.  One was told that there was NO other option. Neither of them wanted surgery, but both of them were open to it if nothing else helped them regain their function and reduce their pain.  By the grace of God, improving their muscle function was enough to get them where they wanted to be.  Neither of them had to have surgery. You might think...

In late August of 2017, the world was alerted to a massive hurricane that was about to make landfall in Texas. Hurricane Harvey, whose name means “battle ready”, struck land on August 25^th and became one of the most destructive storms to ever hit the U.S. In the days that followed, many of us all over the country watched hours and hours of news coverage showing Harvey’s widespread devastation.  Houses and cars were flooded.  Neighborhoods were destroyed.  Dead bodies were seen floating on the flood waters. ...

Yesterday I was saddened to hear about the death of Senator John McCain.  After a year long battle with brain cancer, his 81 year old body could no longer fight.  As a cancer survivor, his death reminds me how blessed I am to still be alive.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. When the news of his cancer was made public last year, many articles such as this one- What Caused John McCain's Cancer surfaced that suggested his cancer was...

Jamie Nieto is a 2-time Olympian who competed for the U.S. in the high jump.  In April of 2016, he severely injured his neck during training and was paralyzed.  Doctors weren't sure if he'd ever regain more than 30% of his function, but in just over two years Jamie is already defying all expectations. This is an article that came out last summer as Jamie was beginning to take his first steps.  It explains in great detail what happened during the incident and what his initial...
