I am now introducing my joint mobility method. I call it The Spiral Flow Method of Joint Mobility. Joint Mobility is not just about being flexible. It is about putting a joint through its full natural range of motion. Visit the website at: SpiralFlow.com.
I am also offering a Qi Gong class to those who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. See the site at:FmRelief.com
Thank you.
Integrative Oncology is the combination of “mainstream” care and evidenced-based complimentary therapies to control cancer-related pain and symptoms [source: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Integrative Medicine]. Complementary therapies, while not given the attention that more traditional cancer therapies may receive, are perhaps equally important while undergoing treatment for certain types of cancer.
It has now been over two decades since I first started my study and practice of tai chi.. Many of those years were under the guidance of my teachers. But a large portion of this time span has been self-study along with self-correction.
This path of self-study, is challenging and risky to say the least. The enthusiasm to continue daily practice at the absence of peer support from classmates can and often wanes over time. Maintaining one’s practice stimulated is a task few accomplish after instruction from a teacher ceases. There is also the risk that one continues to practice incorrectly and over time develop habits not easy to break.
To expand on my previous post on “Three environments”, I will share some thoughts about the words we speak and their effect on our wellbeing.
This topic hit home to me a few years ago while trying to lose some weight. I felt the overall girth around my waste was increasing at an alarming rate. I went on an heavy regime of sit ups and other calisthenics and even cut down visits to my altar of libation. however, all my efforts were to no avail.
I was looking through one of my “junk” folders and came across a picture that brought pleasant memories. It was around August of 1996 when a dear fellow taichi player asked if I wanted to volunteer to a Stand Down. At that time, I had no idea what a “Stand Down” was but it really didn’t matter so I agreed.
Turns out, that a “Stand Down” is a three day weekend organized by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ and it was to become one of the most memorable days in my life…
If the title sounds like the words to a song, well, Lyrica® may just be sending Pfizer Inc. singing their way to the bank once more. The FDA has just approved Pregabalin AKA Lyrica® as a treatment for fibromyalgia (FM) and has released on their website an article about it named: “Living with Fibromyalgia”. How about “Living WITHOUT fibromyalgia”.
Now, I have my own theory regarding fibromyalgia, and I’ll write about it soon. But how is it that a drug that has been approved for treating seizures, pain from shingles and pain associated with diabetes nerve damage has now become the first drug to treat fibromyalgia?
