		<title>My Issue with Core Strengthening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Core strengthening is a popular treatment modality among physical therapists, as well as being popular in the mainstream of exercise. There have been a number of articles written critical of core strengthening (see The Myth of Core Stability). Based on my experience, one serious flaw has to do with tightness that most physical therapists pay [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a followup to my last post, &#8220;Miracles&#8221;, I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about fear and how it effects us and our patients. The example I gave in this previous post should be obvious to all, but what about the more subtle suggestions that we give to our patients? Can these backfire and create fear? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Miracles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Miracles. I recently had an experience with a client that I wish to share. This client had been seeing a NUCCA chiropractor for approximately 15 years. For those who may not be familiar with NUCCA chiropractic, I would refer you to the NUCCA.org website. NUCCA emphasizes and focuses on C1 as the cause of issues [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Treatments for Fibromyalgia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my training as a physical therapist, pharmacology was required study. Traditional physical therapy comes in contact with many different medications for pain, inflammation, etc. As I began my Myofascial Release training, medications were viewed as maskers of symptoms and frowned upon. Research published earlier this year shed light on a promising new treatment partner [...]]]></description>

		<title>Myofascial Release Marketing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Marketing your Myofascial Release (MFR) practice, or any type of practice, is about building a brand around you. I wrote an article a number of years ago that I cannot locate (after a number of computer changes) that talked to this fact. You, as an MT, PT, OT or whatever T you are, must decide [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Pebble in the Shoe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a follow up to a previous post that I made, I want to present an analogy for scapular region pain. A situation presented itself again today that brought this to mind. &#8220;Knots&#8221; in the rhomboid and scapular region seem to get all sorts of interventions. Massage, trigger point therapy, injections, stretching, heat, ice, etc [...]]]></description>

		<title>Balance and Aging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new study has been published by the journal Footwear Science, which reports that going barefoot, or with only socks or slippers,  in the home contributes to falls in the elderly. Their recommendation was for the elderly to wear shoes at all times to reduce the risk of falling. Sounds pretty wise, doesn&#8217;t it? In [...]]]></description>
