Every profession, cause, and random nonsense seems to have a day, week or month these days, so lets make you painfully (pun intended) aware that October is National Physical Therapy (PT) Month. PT…that stands for physical torture, physical torment, physical...
Over 200 million people in this country experience back pain at some point in their life. Â Millions suffer every single day with back pain and yet only a small percentage actually seek help. Isn’t it time to do something about it? The #1 Question asked is, how...
With the US Open Tennis Championship on right now, it got me thinking about how tennis is a sport that can be played over ones life span. Many youth or even adults learn to play tennis 1-on-1. But as people age, the game often becomes a doubles event. Doubles tennis...

Don’t let the title fool you…This message is really geared for those younger than 65. Because disability does not just turn a switch and appear at age 65. What you do in the 5, 10, 15 years prior makes a significant difference. What kind of disability am I...
As we just cleared the 1st leg of the holiday season, Thanksgiving, I felt compelled to write this. Every year, I hear folks complain about 1) indulging in too much food and drink 2) lack of time for exercise and 3) how they don’t have time to take care of their...
