Letting go of tension is something that we all need to learn how to do.  Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic style of yoga which uses props to make it easier for the body to get into specific poses which are designed to encourage and enhance relaxation. Props such as blankets, bolsters and straps safely support the body in various postures which allows the body to move towards a state of balance.  Restorative yoga presents an opportunity for practitioners to surrender to the pose, to completely relax and let go.

Although rest and relaxation are the goals for most vacations, they usually involve a lot of walking and a lot of walking usually involves sore feet.
“Walking is great exercise and one of the most reliable forms of transportation,” says Leslie G. Levy, DPM and Dana Lavian, DPM FACFAS, a foot and ankle surgeon with office in Valencia. “But if your feet aren’t in the best shape or you don’t have the right shoes, too much walking can cause foot problems.”

Passion can add beautiful energy to relationships or can overwhelm and shut down partners.  Passion doesn’t work when selfishly applied.  Both people must feel safe; so address safety before introducing passion.

If this is your first foray into the world of grass-fed and pastured meats, welcome! In a world of chronic degenerative disease, and declining food quality a great way to have an impact on restoring our personal and planetary health is by thoughtfully choosing the foods we eat.

The two main ingredients are carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide – 9.5 percent hydrogen peroxide is equivalent to 26 percent carbamide peroxide.  Carbamide peroxide breaks down into hydrogen peroxide.  Patients wear carbamide peroxide for a longer period of time so that the carbamide can break down in to hydrogen peroxide, the active ingredient.

Telecommuting working from home.  Every business has some tasks that are challenging and interesting, and some that are boring and tedious. If you work at home alone in your own business, guess who has to do the boring and tedious tasks.
When you work at the company’s office, everyone can see and understand why you where unable to accomplish much. It’s the result of normal organizational disorganization and disruption.

Most people don’t even realize how often they should have a bowel movement.  It’s not a topic we normally discuss so we don’t know there is a problem until we have a real problem.  The average healthy adult should have two to three bowel movements daily.  Your bowel movements should be smooth and leave the body easily without hard pushing or painfully waiting for them to get to that point.  There are many foods that can help regulate your digestion and elimination and many foods that hinder it.

The mild case can be relived by closing one’s eyes, while the serious case has an illusion of bodily movement with rotator sensation like sitting in a sailing boat or moving car, and even accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sweating.

It was an innocent adjustment.  The chiropractor took a hold of her neck and directed the muscles and bones in a way that was unfamiliar to her body. A loud crack was heard and there was silence by both parties.  She said she felt better and he was pleased.
Mrs. T then contacted me regarding a severe headache after her adjustment.  Because she was taking Coumadin, a notorious blood thinner, I was concerned.  An MRI was done and bleeding was noted on both sides of the brain.

Summer is here and with the new growth on trees and the flowering of plants comes the pollen that aggravates our immune system, causing some irritation and annoying symptoms.  While medications can affect the symptoms, giving us almost instant relief, there are often unwanted side-effects, and none addresses the root cause.

The development of modern digital hearing aids has introduced wonderful new possibilities to help hearing-impaired people.  Fittings and set-ups are easier, amplification is powerful and handling has become more convenient.  It is safe to say that the hearing aid has been the most important tool for hard-of-hearing people for decades and will be so for the foreseeable future.

I receive many referrals from parents that are having problems with their children or teens.  The parents’ frantically schedule an appointment, come into my office, and explain how many problems their child is having.  Many times stating that they are fearful that their youth won’t be receptive to therapy and asking how can I help them.  After running down a list of behaviors and introducing me to their child, they want to know what I think.  Depending on the child’s age, I usually ask the youth to go into the waiting room and I speak to the parents alone.

I am frequently asked the question, “How long does Lasik last?”  Fortunately, for the great majority of people the answer is that they will enjoy their results for many years.  However, approximately five to 30 percent of patients may require a second procedure following laser vision correction.  There are many reasons for this.  Patients who are far-sighted or who are very near-sighted have a higher rate of regression of effect from laser vision correction.  Enhancements are also more likely to be needed in patients who have a high degree of astigmatism.
