Living With Anxiety

I realize that it’s been quite some time since one of our monthly articles specifically addressed anxiety.  I talked about it in my book, “Living Through the Storms of Life”, but the last blog article on the subject was way back in May of 2019!  At that...

More Backwards Walking

I know, I know, we have talked about this before in our newsletter, but there are so many benefits to backwards walking that I am going to bring it up again. Summer is the easiest time to give it a try, so I (Dr. Dave) thought I'd bring it up one more time.It doesn’t...

More Maintenance
