Sharing a peek behind the scenes … A first experience in a new adventure My experience with shooting the first episode of a new YouTube show reminded me of the feelings our clients have when they first come in. Yes, I was nervous! No, I didn’t really know what to expect. Yes, I left pleasantly […]
“What do you feel when the muscles change?” Inquisitive clients have posed this question over recent weeks. My response?

There are FOUR aspects of coordination required. I’ve written about biking before, but usually from an injury perspective.

I recently wrote about the benefits of tune-ups between sports seasons. Life also has its seasons such as: Holidays Vacations Performances Cleaning Recovery For each of these you often need different physical coordination and strength, as well as coping abilities.
