Creating optimum movement patterns of the bones can help this muscular symphony stay in tune. Nora and Brian discuss a variety of ways to conceptualize shoulder movement for optimum function.

    Spring ahead! Prepare for outdoor activities

    Spring ahead! Prepare for outdoor activities

    When the weather warms up, people transition from indoor to outside fitness pursuits like running, cycling, sports and gardening. This transition can lead to overuse injuries as the exuberance of sun and beautiful weather encourages overdoing it. Brian and Nora offer a voice of moderation and encourage you to prepare for the transition with a progressive fitness program that reflects your goals and desires.
