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.

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

Monkey See, Monkey Do, Or Not?
Do you ever wonder why families walk so similarly from brother and sister to father/mother? Do you ever wonder why your grandma had the same hip pain your mom now complains about and you are starting to feel something similar? Is it hereditary? I’m going to let you in on a little secret. No, it’s not hereditary. It’s not some crazy thing that all of you have the same leg length. What it is…is a pattern you observed subconsciously when you were a child. Research is now showin

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). There’s some interesting characteristics

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
