I am always getting excellent news stories and media tidbits from you, Awesome Readers. Today was no exception. Elizabeth sent me (thanks Elizabeth!) a link to a story on ABC News tonight,
Minimally invasive surgery could relieve patients of back pain.
The story focuses on the 80 percent of Americans that will suffer back pain in their [...]
This weekend I have met the enemy, and its name is the 1908 Sears and Roebuck’s Catalog.
While traveling this weekend I found this old catalog and started to read through it. If you like history and anthropology like I do, you will find that nothing captures a period of time like the stuff for sale. [...]
Can you ride a bike? Probably. And you know that riding a bike takes balance, yes? So if you ride a bike, you would probably come to the conclusion that you have pretty good balance. But what if you were just sitting on a bike, not pedaling? Just sitting there. Not falling, but not moving [...]
A while back I received a call from Liz Koch, wanting to know a bit more of my thoughts on The Pelvis. She had read the MamaSweat article on squats instead of kegels and had long been teaching how the tailbone-out position (which is called Anterior Pelvis or Bootylicious, depending if you’re talking to an [...]
In addition to hanging out with my sister’s 37 kids while on vacation, I also hiked my butt off. In California, people don’t tend to be hikers in the way people in Oregon or Colorado are hikers.

I just got back from vacation, visiting the Pacific North West, where my sister and her 25 kids live. Did I say 25? I meant 4. But is there really any difference? Not to me, and, probably not to her either. Speaking of fun times with kids, have you ever tried to take a fast [...]
I get a lot of emails asking “So, what does good alignment LOOK like?” Well, here you go. Have a look-see, at the cover of our certification manual:
Each one of the points refers to a bony marker (something you can clearly see with your eyes, no matter your body composition). Each point needs to be [...]
So, you’d like to run a marathon, you say? Great. To do that, the laws of specificity state that to improve performance at a task, you must train correctly, using the muscles you’ll need for the event. Swimming, while keeping you “fit”, isn’t going to help much. Cycling, while keeping you “fit”, isn’t going to [...]
This ground-breaking information on NPR this week: Amazing Massage Technique “fixes” mysterious throat ailment.
“Julie Treible caught a common spring cold this year and lost her ability to speak — for six weeks. The cold had turned into bronchitis, then laryngitis — at least that’s what she thought.
“April 1 I got a cold, and this part [...]
Has anyone out there heard of The Kegel Queen? Well I hadn’t, until someone forwarded me this YouTube video where KQ counters my MamaSweat interview and takes me on. You can tell she’s the queen because she’s wearing a crown. No, really. She wears a Kegel Crown. It is still unclear if she was born [...]
