Musical Athletes

Treating a musician is no different than treating an athlete. Let’s call our musicians the musical athletes. These athletes happen to need all the same stabilizing muscles that any endurance runner may need—if not more. As one would imagine, singers rely on the muscles surrounding the throat. However, you may not have guessed that woodwind and brass players do as well. Woodwind players also require fine muscles in the hands as well as stabilizing muscles of the elbow, shoulde

What's With Bunions?

You might notice on your feet or others’ that the big toe makes a sharp angle in and collides with the second toe. This is a bunion, otherwise, medically known as hallux valgus. It’s possible that at first you never noticed because you thought it was hereditary and/or either of your parents had it.

Our Optimum Health Philosophy

SCARS

Wins and losses. A lesson learned, not through the strike of luck, but for the necessity to live. We all have a moment in life when everything goes silent. All you're left with is the complete stillness of your body, the subtle sound of a breathe leaving your body, a feeling of a heartbeat, and loneliness. At a moment like that you have no guidance to follow up on nor do you have a clue as to what to do. February 7th, 2016, was that defining moment that quickly hit me dead on
