How Determined are YOU to Eliminate Your Pain?

Posted on December 16, 2011 by John Elder

“It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get back up.” — Vince Lombardi I had an interesting conversation with a client this morning. She is, like most clients, fighting the negative voices in her head that are asking things like, “Is Egoscue the right place for me?”, “Is this working?”, and “Can [...]

Heart Damage from Marathons

Posted on December 7, 2011 by John Elder

I’ve always thought running to be a great form of exercise. While I don’t particularly enjoy running long distances, I do feel better after running a few miles. If you’ve followed my blog posts over the last two years, you know I’ve gotten into triathlons, which obviously require running. However, I’ve kept my distances short, with [...]

The 4-Hour Body

Posted on January 21, 2011 by John Elder

I know many of you are reading “The 4-Hour Body” by Tim Ferriss. If you aren’t reading it, I would highly recommend doing so. In this follow-up to his best-selling “The 4-Hour Workweek“, Ferriss takes his turn at “body hacking”. His mission was to discover just how much he can get his body to do. [...]

A Cure for Runner’s Knee?

Posted on January 11, 2011 by John Elder

I’ve always been intrigued by conditions that are “linked” to an activity such as Golfer’s Elbow, Tennis Elbow, and Runner’s Knee. I think those conditions are giving way too little credit to the body (and way too much credit to the activity) in terms of what it is capable of doing. Your body is designed [...]

Knee Pain? It’s Gotta be the Shoes

Posted on November 18, 2010 by John Elder

Or does it…? I know “It’s Gotta be the Shoes” was a popular slogan by Nike in the 90s, but I think we are all smarter than that, right? We all know that your shoes won’t make you jump like Jordan. But, can your shoes help eliminate your knee pain? Honestly, I don’t think it’s [...]

I Don’t Think You’re Fixable

Posted on August 16, 2010 by John Elder

I know that might come as a surprise to some of you who frequently read my blog, but it’s true. I don’t think you’re fixable, because that would imply that you are broken, and I refuse to believe you are broken. I think that ‘bum knee‘, ‘bad back‘, and ‘aging hip‘ are simply your body’s [...]

‘The Today Show’ Tries Vibram FiveFingers

Posted on July 15, 2010 by John Elder

Recent studies show 60% of Today Show anchors prefer less (Al, Ann, and Natalie) vs. more (Meredith and Matt)! Great segment from this morning’s show about the newest shoes on the market. They discussed the shape-up/tone-up shoes that have been a big hit recently, but they also highlighted the Vibram FiveFingers. ‘The Today Show’ correspondent [...]
