Pilot Post

This blog will include several major points of discussion, namely:

• Strength Training: how we can use strength training to rebuild our bodies after injury or major surgery to promote recovery, lose weight, and become more functional in our daily lives
• Diet: the impact the food we eat plays on our lifestyle and recovery from the break of a major bone, hip or knee replacement, or any other traumatic event such as a stroke or cancer
• Movement Patterns: how we reset our walking, bending, pushing, and pulling patterns after our bodies have been thrown out of alignment or adversely adjusted because of an unforeseen event or misuse over time
• Mental and Emotional Well Being: the impact of a major injury or illness on our minds and emotions.  We will also tackle stress and what it does to our bodies and those around us
• Bodywork: the roles massage and chiropractic work, among others, play in healing and renewing the body

For now, I think that will give us hundreds of topics and ways to explore the central theme: PAIN.  It is pain that has been caused and pain manifests itself in many ways.  Hopefully through collective exploration we can all recover a little bit to lead happier, healthier pain-free lives.

At its core, it will be cathartic way for me to express the impact of the injury on my life and relieve some of my own pain.  And, as they say, if I can help just one person, it will all be worth it.

Thanks for reading...
