When Waiting Out Your Pain Is A Bad Idea...
Aches and pains come and go, but some linger and can lead to a detrimental collapse of your function if you keep ignoring it. So when do you think it’s the right time to make the call to get your pain addressed? Before I discuss that, let’s first look at our cultural mindset to pain and the trends I have found in human nature.

People First and Patient Second Becomes The New Black: What Your Doctors Should Be For You.
When Suzie Orman mentioned that it is business should be “people first, money second, things last.” It resonated with me years back. I thought about this long and hard and how we should apply this to medicine. It’s been a long time since this happened for our western medical culture. Typically, you would see impersonal engagements where doctors are ready to pass on their patients to the assistant or quickly offer a solution that is devoid of the patient’s needs and concerns.

Well in 2017 when Pain meets Angry we have PAINGRY. It’s a romantic relationship of betrayal and love for mind, body, spirit in the mix of

The Next Moneyball, Part Four: The Art Of Winning With Aging And Injured Athletes
In Michael Lewis’s book, Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, Lewis describes the Oakland Athletics’ 2003 amazing playoff run in which evidence-based statistics called Sabermetrics (B. James, C. Wright) were used to aid decisions made in drafting prospects and signing free agent players. The team's general manager, Billy Beane, was highly criticized for his use of this method, but his belief paid off. Twelve years later, this strategy has transcended almost every maj

Still running around with knee pain? Knee pain can be a daunting issue that prevents you from life activities and enjoying your body to your fullest. Continuing to move around on a painful knee can do you more harm than you think. The knee is composed of three real joints the patellafemoral (the knee cap), the actual knee joint itself (tibiofemoral), and a smaller joint (Tibiofibular, which we won’t really talk about in this piece).

Getting Out Of The Vicious Pain Cycle
….And into the healing journey and exploring functional topics in life-like sitting, standing, steps, strength, and endurance. Pain is such a broad problem that has become well over a billion dollar industry in this western society. Physiologically, what is pain? It is a noxious or unpleasant stimulus that, under certain amount of demand or stress, is provoked and sent to the registers of your brain. Your brain is therefore what interprets, confuses, and identifies the area i

Climbing The Stairs Of Life
Let’s face it, balance in the physical sense can be closely related to “balance” in the metaphysical sense. As a physical therapist, I practice and observe all kinds of movement and assess balance of those at risk for falls. From a scientifically theoretical standpoint, all human movement patterns are created from the interplay of three major constraints: organism, environment, and task. (Kamm, Thelen & Jensen, 1990; Kugler, Kelso, & Turvey, 1982; Newell, 1982). You are the o

What's The Matter With Shin Splints?
This piece is especially personal to me. Shin Splints plagued my high school athletic career and would later ruin much of my college career in Track and Field at Boston University. The pain in my shins would sear from the inside part of my shin towards my foot. Typically, it would start to hurt before the end of practice and continue for a while after. Icing and resting and more strengthening wasn’t the right answer. I would take some time off and get back on the road to fin
