As you know, I’ve been teaching people how to self-treat for chronic pain and sports injuries for over 20 years. Since the beginning of the war in Iraq I have been wanting to teach wounder veterans how to self-treat the muscles they are repetitively straining as they use wheelchairs and crutches, but I’ve never been […]

I don’t understand why people are advised to buy orthotics (at a cost of approx. $400.00) when they have plantar fasciitis. Everyone I’ve worked with through the years has improved immediately after we treat their lower leg muscles and then remove the orthotics from their shoes. The muscles of your lower leg are responsible for

I don’t write about wrist pain, trigger finger, or carpal tunnel syndrome very often, but I received an email today from a new mother who is suffering and can barely hold her baby.

I was just thinking about it and realized that I’ve never mentioned that I had an ezine that I published for a few years. The name of the ezine is Pain Free Living and it was the forerunner to this blog. I sometimes think about publishing it again except time is such an issue. The articles are

I received an interesting question on one of the forums I moderate. A person was having foot pain and mentioned that he sits on a stool that doesn’t let his feet reach the floor, he wondered if the sitting position could relate to the foot pain. The answer is “yes.” In fact you may even

I’ve had a lot of people in my office and on the various forums that I’m moderating tell me that they are in training for a marathon. That time has come so quickly that it’s amazing. If you are in training for a major race and you’re putting in more miles than normal, please remember

I work with a lot of athletes, especially in my Cary, NC, office which is inside Athletic Lab, a facility that is a training center for serious athletes. These men and women are training for Olympic trials and for other world-class competitions, so their training schedule is just incredible. The past week I had two athletes
