My new secret weapon against pain

2019-05-14T15:04:40-04:00

“Healing is a matter of time, but it’s sometimes also a matter of opportunity.” – Hippocrates I was reading about a plan by Space X to deploy thousands of small satellites and blanket the planet with internet access – especially for those 3.5 billion or so people who lack a regular, high-quality connection. It’s ambitious (some would say far-fetched), but if it works…The possibilities are wondrous.   I’ve often taught about the nervous system by comparing it to a communications network. If there are subluxations, signals get blocked.  Your body’s command center can’t do its job.  Sometimes, under these conditions, pain [...]

Injury Prevention Guidelines for Runners

2018-11-12T22:18:44-05:00

Fast forward almost 3 years, and I was in search of an anchor/some help to keep up the runs that I always enjoyed, but found difficult to progress with.  Insert medieval trumpet announcement here - through some friendly conversations The Running Room (High Park) presented itself! I ran IN clinics for a few years before being [...]
