The Only Constant in Life is Change

Change is really the true constant in life, without change you don’t grow, learn or fully develop into who you are as a person. Think about it, are you who you were 10 years ago, for most of us the answer is no, what changed you? What changes in your life, challenged you to change your path, your interests, outlook, or opinion. Looking back at how you have handled change in your life can ease the anxiety of handling future change and help you appreciate just how what you have dealt with has led you to who you are.

A Postural Restoration Institute Approach, Addressing Softball Imbalances – PART 1 of 3

I recently worked with a female, high school softball pitcher. She had been recruited and awarded a full college scholarship but due to recurring, painful hip flexor and shoulder pain (all on the right) was unable to play for several months.

Stay Hydrated My Friends!!!!!

Now that we are well into the summer and the beginning of school fall sports practices, I thought that it would be appropriate to address the importance of good hydration. You have all likely heard the commercial, “Stay Thirsty My Friends!” but the truth of the matter is that we don’t want to stay thirsty. Does this mean that you are getting dehydrated?
