Kinesiotaping isn’t just for athletes and sports injuries!

As you can see, it’s effective for pregnancy as well by off-loading physical strain to the body as the uterus expands.

BENEFITS:
- relieves round ligament tension
- acts as an external “sling”
- decompresses fascia and nerves
- improves posture

I performed this technique on a 69 year old patient last week who had undergone 2 hip replacements, 1 hip fracture, a botched knee replacement that was infected, and 5 subsequent hip dislocations. Her scarring is extensive, and this treatment helps her stay mobile.

SLEEP POSTURE MATTERS (if you suffer from back issues):

1) Placing support between the knees keeps the hips, pelvis, and femur aligned in a parallel plane, eliminating spinal rotation and reducing hip and lower back strain.

2) A small bolster or lumbar roll under the waist fills the natural gap above the hips, maintaining a straight horizontal line from the thoracic through the lumbar segment.

3) A proper neck pillow fills the shoulder-to-head gap completely, keeping the neck parallel to the mattress and continuous with the rest of the spinal column.

By filling the empty anatomical gaps (neck, waist, and between the knees), the body remains in a relaxed, structurally neutral position without rotational or lateral shear stress throughout the night.

This allows for a restful sleep that promotes:
- cellular repair
- improved brain function
- faster immune response
- proper metabolism

Do you pick WELLNESS or ILLNESS?

It’s a choice to make our health a priority. Sleep well, eat well, and exercise regularly - these are the tenets of maintaining equilibrium in our bodies - especially as we age.

We are all products of a sedentary lifestyle, and if we don’t make the conscious effort to be active, our health pays the price.

MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.

Recently, I’ve had many folks comment to me that they can’t (or don’t want to) get on the floor to do exercises because they’re afraid they can’t get up.

Getting ourselves up from the floor is a fundamental movement that is critical to our wellbeing as we age. Just like all muscle functions, if we don’t use it, WE LOSE IT.

If you’re older and need assistance, follow the guidelines below to practice getting up. And if you’re younger, focus on continuing strength training for your quads, glutes and abdominals.

Your older self will benefit and appreciate it!

A parasitic illness is on the rise in the U.S, with thousands of confirmed cases according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Cyclosporiasis is a foodborne illness, but unlike typical food poisoning caused by bacteria, it is caused by a microscopic parasite called Cyclospora cayetanensis.

Outbreaks are most frequently linked to imported fresh produce. Because the parasite has a double-walled shell, standard chemical washes aren't enough to eliminate it. Once inside the small intestine, the body's digestive enzymes and bile trigger the oocyst to break open and release the active parasites to infect the intestinal lining.

The most common culprits include:
- Raspberries and blackberries
- Basil and cilantro
- Snow peas
- Packaged salad mixes and lettuce

Be watchful since there are no recalls being issued on contaminated foods related to this outbreak.

TIPS for BETTER weight-lifting results: 💪🏋️

1) Lower the weight 20% and don’t let momentum do the work.

2) Lower the weight in control for 3-4 counts - eccentric movement is half the battle.

3) Go through full range of motion to activate the full muscle fiber.

4) Feel the target muscle not the movement.

5) Add weight only when you own every rep to progress.
