My Vision, My Reality.

Here's the rub: I live in a world where anything is possible. I live in a world where people who are comfortable are typically unwilling to change. I say, lets not wait until the problems "out in the world" come to our door step. Let's make a world where there is no hunger, no disease. Why not live in a peaceful place of creativity, innovation, invention, and love.

Someone said to me that pain is necessary for growth. I think there has been enough pain in Human history that we are ready to grow into a new chapter of evolution where the pain we experience isn't in the form of war, famine, disease and hate.

There is an abundance of wealth and resources on this planet, and I say lets take care of each other. It's not just a dream, it's a potential reality that each of us contributes to. You don't have to agree with my vision, but I urge you to actively change the things that bother you about this life. Go make the world a better place by participating in the causes that speak to your soul. I am going to vote for a third party candidate. I am going to spend my money on food and goods from companies that give back to the community. I am going to laugh every single day. I am going to work my dream job(s) and enjoy the benefits that come from aligning action with passion.

My work allows me to bring people out of painful postural disfunction. What a wonderful way to spend my day!! I love it. If you don't love what you do, or if you would love to do something different with your career, it's never too late to change your life. It's never too hard to make your dreams a reality.

Every dollar you spend sends a message. Every FB post can lift or drag your readers. I want to be a conscious decision maker; an informed participant in the story of Human Kind.


Thanks for reading, and I am confident in the capacity of the Human Soul. WE are the change we want to see in the world. *Smiles*

Case Study on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a widely recognized disorder. Common symptoms are pain in the wrist and hand after extended periods of repetitive motion, such as typing at a computer. The pain is typically caused by compression of the median nerve in the confines of the wrist.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) can also cause hand and wrist pain. TOS is the result of inflamed muscles in the neck or shoulder that pressure the median nerve. Even though the site of compression in TOS is in the neck or arm, the pain is often felt in the hand and wrist - identical to CTS.

Many people with these disorders are misdiagnosed and unnecessarily subjected to treatments such as surgery, cortisol injections, painkillers and muscle relaxants. Each of these treatments has common side effects and often do not provide long-term relief.

The more I learn about the body, the more I find holistic, non-invasive ways to promote healing and wellness. I’m happy to report that a growing body of research shows how Massage Therapy is able to provide relief from CTS and TOS. It is worth mentioning that Massage Therapy has virtually no side effects.

In January 2012 I will be conducting a case study to explore the impact of bodywork on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Please contact me for a free assessment!
