What are the current trends in healthcare? And are they actually improving health?

Improve Your Self Myofascial Release By 1%!
I recently learned about the 1% approach to improvement.

We trust what you sense and feel . . . So you can trust what you sense and feel
What does it mean to trust what you sense and feel? That’s a great question! Consider, we’ve all had our experience invalidated in some way, at some point.

A client asked me recently about a myofascial release self treatment tool she had seen online for “releasing the psoas muscle.” She was wondering if it might be something helpful to purchase, if it might do more, faster, than what we had been doing. I took a look at the website for the toolContinue Reading »
