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

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.
