Welcome Winter, New Workshop, Snow Policy and February Hours Workshop - Intention Setting/Vision Board Have you ever done a Vision Board?  They are really popular at the start of the year, just like resolutions.  Some folks use pictures and words they cut out of magazines to help them clarify their motivation for the upcoming year.   But setting out inten...

I gave up resolutions a bunch of years ago and now set intentions. Resolutions feel constricting and almost like you have a parent on your shoulder wagging their finger about 'well, you said you would ....' or 'you know you should....' - there you go, shoulding all over yourself again.

My intentions have to do with energy exchanges, things I want more of and things I want less of. The difference is that instead of saying 'I will do this thing differently in the new year' I now say what I want more of. So instead of ' i will get fit' it would be I will will focus on being consistent with my workouts. Being consistent is extremely important for your body and your mind. And as we all know - if you stop for even a short amount of time, your self talk can become very shaming or guilting, and that can lead you down a rabbithole.

Do you squeeze your butt when working out?

Feet. You can't ignore them forever! I love these stretches and I adore the picture of the banana to illustrate what happens to your foot fascia after years of conventional shoe wearing. Remember that your fascia wants to support you favorite positions.

Modern medicine is awesome! Except when it's not. Do not let your MRI define you. Do not let your physicians diagnosis define you.

❓ How reliable is my MRI ❓
It has been said that a picture is worth 1,000 words. But what if the picture was an MRI and those words resulted in increased harm, medical overuse, and a cascade of events leading to more pain and disability.

Unfortunately, MRI’s have been a gold standard diagnostic tool for many orthopedic conditions. However, in this simple case study you can see the high variability and inconsistencies with one individual receiving 10 MRIs at 10 different testing sites.

MRIs are great at ruling out any significant and dangerous red flags such as tumors and fractures, but never justify the pain a person is experiencing.

An MRI is simply a small pixel in the grand picture of your life. Via
