Feet: From the Ground Up

For a few years, while she was establishing herself as a neuromuscular expert on feet, Dr. Emily Splichal, a NYC podiatrist, was a source of highly technical yet superbly functional webinars (this is but one link on youtube) on the foot. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who works with athletes prone to footRead More

Bone Density vs Bone Quality vs Falling: What Works and How?

If only it were as simple as some people say: Just walk for better health. But that is such a minimalist approach that may not yield even minimal benefits. We tend to believe that walking is enough to protect the heart, reduce the waistline, maintain or even build better bones, and reduce our risk forRead More

Protein Needs Ramp Up as You Slow Down

Tufts Health & Nutrition Letter is a monthly that offers the best and most current nutrition science available. For those who are into alternative health news, especially alternative nutritional guidance, Tufts is the “establishment”.

This was my very first experience with a private gym and personal trainer. The owner and trainer made me feel very comfortable and at home. The gym is very clean and well equipped. I felt the price was VERY well worth the time attention I received. I will return once my work schedule becomes more predictable.
