Poor Posture is everywhere... A few weeks before publishing this blog, I was interviewed on liquid lunch (link), having a follow-up conversation about poor posture – I had run out of time to dive into the more significant consequences, so some elements of this article are excerpts from here. I had previously been interviewed in May 2018 after returning from Italy, and in a state of relaxing and incessant people watching, I was overwhelmed by the magnitude of poor postures in so many different categories of people – from millennials to seniors!

If you love to garden, you’ve likely suffered a backache or two from maintaining your garden beds.

For others, they are doing most of the work during just one season of the year, which means their back may not be used to this type of labor. While a few backaches may not seem like a big deal, you are actually putting your back in danger when you work in [...]

Live Forever! on Liquid Lunch

Dr. Joshua Gelber2011-04-29T13:30:40-04:00

Hi everyone! After an outing to Montreal, and meeting an elderly couple, who were once vivacious and active in all respects, I had a moment. I watched these two lovely people slowly move around, with difficulty, and take their daily pills. It struck my emotional heart strings big time, and hence my conversation topic today. "Getting old" is preventable, at least outside of a calendar - aging can happen more gracefully than most people imagine. Enjoy!

It occurs to me, on a frequent basis, that people are quick to worry about the last "wrong" action they took when they have a painful episode, whether it be a "my back went out", or"I slept funny and my neck is all twisted", and there are many more. I decided to speak about why and how we get into these situations over time, with repetition and history. Enjoy my most recent interview at ThatChannel.com Hugh and Toronto Jay were great in helping me get the point across! Enjoy!! Dr J
