Hi folks, welcome! Setting up a business isn't only about designing products, such as our plantar fasciitis treatment, to make money, it's really about making a difference, but you do need some money to keep making a difference. When I was growing up, or becoming conscious (not conscious in the way Eckhart Tolle means, as that came much later), our mother professed to be a Jehovah's Witness. I remember her ... Read more
Hi folks, welcome! As we get to enjoy the trials and tribulations of aging, we become stiffer.

I have experienced two main forms of massage, 'fluff and buff,' where the goal is relaxation, and sports massage, which can be ... Read more
Hi folks, welcome! A simple lesson can make all the difference to the enjoyment of your sport, and your chances of avoiding or fixing training injuries.

Of course, I'll kick and scream before I change - hell, I'm a misoneist, like the rest of us. I don't do so well with ... Read more
If you're an older athlete (which I am), you'll be forced to carefully explore your biomechanics (body movement processes) in order to head off injuries, if you hope to stay in the game into your 80s and beyond (which I do). A good conversation depends more upon listening than it does on talking, and this is as true for a conversation with your body as it is whilst chatting with a friend. Learning to listen came ...

Hi folks, welcome! In order to get over and stay over sports injuries, or the negative impact of aging on your activity level, you have to be constantly vigilant in order to fix your issues and keep them fixed. I'm amazed by the number of people with plantar fasciitis, and they seem to come in one of several main types, (1) runners, (2) people on their feet a lot, (3) people who have suffered serious ...
