Are Medical Procedures Interfering with Your Movement? We’ve all had them — some of us more than others. From the “routine” (blood draws, IVs) to the major (C-sections, appendix removal, knee replacements). I write about staying active and pain-free, so why am I writing about medical procedures?

The results weren’t quite what she’d hoped, so she went through a second procedure recently. This time, it worked! Her breathing finally improved. But her muscles didn’t get the memo. Her […]
How Should Your Knee Really Move? And Reasons Post-surgery Recovery Often Falls Short It’s an active time of year — but many people are sitting on the sidelines with knee trouble.

When Your Knee Gets Injured — and Doesn’t Bounce Back You don’t realize how much you rely on your knees — until they stop working the way they should.
