Dr. H. Gilbert Welch

Dr. Frank Wildman

Moshe Feldenkrais, who died in 1984, created a very unique movement therapy system based on a systems understanding of the mind and body, a developmental approach to movement, and increasing awareness of movement. I have tried to read Feldenkrais books and had about ten individual Feldenkrais sessions. The books were daunting. The particular instructor I had while brilliant was so nondirective it was very frustrating.

Cardiologist Dr. Joel Okner and Cardiac Psychologist Jeremy Clorfene

If you or someone you love has a heart attack, the cardiologist probably gives you a brief technical assessment. Anxiety levels are so high you only hear a small fraction of what the doctor says, and remember even less. Typically, there is no discussion about the psychological factors and dealing with the stress, changes, and how different your life has become. Cardiologist Dr. Joel Okner and Cardiac Psychologist Dr. Jeremy Clorfene stepped in to fill the gap with their just released book, The No Bull Book On Heart Disease: Real Answers To Winning Back Your Heart and Health.

Certified Professional Trainer Doug Splittgerber and Physical Therapist Debra Corbo say that is exactly what is happening. Overcoming their own health challenges, they developed a system of exercises that vastly improves posture and fully stretches muscles. They say that a lot of knee surgeries, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other painful conditions can be prevented with proper exercise.

Your body’s tissues other activities. become cold and stiff after being inactive for a mere 12 minutes.

In Woody Allen’s movie Bananas, Wood Allen’s character Fielding Mellish has become El Presidente of San Marcos and is greeted at the airport by a US State Department interpreter. El Presidente speaks perfect English and the interpreter speaks broken English but still insists on interpreting. It reminds me of a lot of personal trainers. I think we all know how to count to twenty, the weight equipment isn’t that complicated, and if the trainer holds our hand while we are on the treadmill, it slows us down. Do we really need a personal trainer? Sports medicine physician Dr. Marc Paulsen and Personal Trainer Ashley Marriott, say in most cases we should dump the trainer and do it ourselves. Hence the title of their brand new book, Dump Your Trainer. The program looks at why you don’t need a personal trainer and how to do it yourself.
