This somewhat weird but simple device never leaves my sight! As a therapist it seems I am the last one to get a treatment – so I rely on my own devices to keep muscle knots and tension points at bay. There are similar products around but I wasn’t paying $50 USD or more – [...]
I’m not much for daytime television but I do occasionally watch Dr. Oz. What I like about Oz is he’s not all about slice and dice. He is very much an advocate for alternative medicine and natural therapies. I find this refreshing and very informative. If you’ve seen his show you know what I’m talking [...]
Your body is similar to your car – if you don’t take care of the little things – they can turn into bigger things! Well that’s pretty profound isn’t it? Yet many of us have had a tune up or an oil change on our car more recently than dealing with that nagging lower back [...]
Lavender Oil is one of if not the most versatile essential oils on the planet. I’d say every household should have Lavender oil as part of their first aid kit or medicine cabinet. I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t love the smell of Lavender either, so in addition to its’ therapeutic benefits, a home [...]

Well summer is here once again and this one of everybody’s favorite. I love potato salad which I refer to as “cement”, because it has so much body you could build a retaining wall with it! This recipe has a nice “tang” to it and you can just replace the potato with pasta for an [...]
There is nothing much more painful than plantar fasciitis (PF) when it comes to foot problems. PF can make your arches feel like they are falling through the floor! In other cases the pain can be concentrated in the heel and can often be misdiagnosed as heel spurs. So what is it? In simple terms PF is [...]
