Is your child easily overwhelmed? Does your youngster find life changes particularly challenging? Would you describe your son or daughter as “shy” or “cautious”? Is he or she sensitive to bright lights or loud noises? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you may have a highly sensitive child. Some children are […]

Some people come to the clinic with what seems like a simple shoulder problem that should respond well to physical therapy, but then doesn’t. Ongoing shoulder pain may not be driven only by the original injury and on such occasions gut-derived autoimmune/inflammatory processes should be considered as a possible contributor.

As we saw last week, most people stretch infrequently; don’t stretch a muscle for long; frequently use ballistic stretching techniques; and if they attempt to hold a stretch, they often hold their breath while pushing hard into ‘the pain’ of the stretch. To stretch effectively, you should pretty-much do the complete opposite. That is: Stretch […]
