Category: Therapy Subscribe Published At: 2008-8-1 14:49

Golf and Fitness are two terms that can finally go hand in hand, thanks to one Tiger Woods and his famous mystery workout routine, and the other professional and amateur players who have followed his lead. Once an activity perhaps identified more with pot bellies, motorized carts and cups of beer on the course than physical strength and a good physique, there is now no question that golf has entered the world of a full fledged sport that requires physical training to perform at its best.

Relieving Constipation

Category: Disease and Conditions Subscribe Published At: 2008-7-27 15:53
When it comes to relieving constipation, we are a society expecting quick fixes. We want it out and now, right? It's no surprise we spend about 900 million dollars on laxatives each year. Laxatives, though, should be a last resort for many reasons. Since they are available without a prescription we tend to think of them as safe. Unfortunately, they can become habit-forming quickly and they are harmful to your body in the long-term.

Category: Medical Subscribe Published At: 2008-7-27 15:47
I recently attended a panel discussion regarding the devastating problem of Drug Use and Crime in Metro-Vancouver, BC. The mediator at this panel's discussion suggested erroneously that drug prevention has failed. Drug and Alcohol education isn't done in Canada or the USA in significant quantity and quality to make significant differences. Most public schools allocate 2 to 4 hours per year in this Province, far less in other Provinces.

Muscle Imbalance And Chronic Injuries

Category: Medical Subscribe Published At: 2008-7-27 14:20

The reason for such a high rate of injury is that people spend 8-18 hours a day, 5-7 days a week performing unidirectional (one-way) movement patterns, causing an imbalance in the musculoskeletal system that results in the overuse and under use of certain muscle groups. If left unchecked, these injuries can be come chronic, resulting in pain and dysfunction that can last for years.
