Its #FridayFeeling #FlashbackFriday So I thought I'd repost the video of Kim and show you how much she's changed since our first visit. She equated her posture to a straw that was bent and it was now just unbending a bit and "Feel Happiness Flow In." (fast forward to 4min 25sec to find it). How awesome is that?

Inspired by the latest post from @EssopMerrick because we see the break down of either of these types of training. Stop the @Spotify #rumpshaker playlist and listen to these words of wisdom before you exercise today. So whats the physical therapist tangent/train of thought here? Both High Intensity Interval/Intermittent Training (HIIT) and Low Intensity Training (LIT) can produce results. Results are Goals.

Scoliosis is not just a diagnosis for girls or just for adolescents. Scoliosis can go undiagnosed or it can develop over time from poor posture, or postures developed after an injury. Cleveland Clinic posted these surprises in a 2014 article: “Surprise #1: If you are diagnosed with scoliosis, you probably won’t need surgery."
