Making Mobility Happen
Mobility can be akin to a patio screen door that begins to malfunction. It can lose fluidity on its tracks causing it to get stuck, its structure can be impaired through years of weather events, and the screen itself, which should normally be taut and flexible, becomes looser. A little TLC and some WD-40 can ...
Unsung Mobility Heroes: Tendons and Ligaments
When discussing healthy mobility and fluid, comfortable movement with your customers, don’t neglect to mention the work of tendons, which anchor muscles to bones; and ligaments, which connect adjacent bones.

For more than three decades I have raced more than 300 endurance events, including more than 150 triathlons of Olympic distance or longer, 103 marathons and numerous ...
Nutraceuticals for Allergies

In an allergic individual, the harmless antigen becomes an ...
Pet Ownership by Generation
The American Pet Products Association (APPA) released its National Pet Market Opportunity study in 2014, highlighting pet owners and those who never owned a pet. Obstacles of owning pets, new market opportunities, and behaviors were also identified. Demographic differences played a key part for current, previous and non-pet owners. It was seen that current pet ...
