Hi everyone! We probably all have days when we do not feel like exercising. It seems like a hassle, takes too much time, etc., etc., Here’s a piece of news that can make exercising seem less daunting….I believe it’s all based on aversive training….
Envision yourself in the hospital due to inactivity. That doesn’t seem […]
Hi everyone! Recently I have been experiencing ankle pain after walking. A bummer, but I can live with it. My ankle muscles need strengthening. I find my ankle turning sideways more often than not.

I recently came across an article written by the Arthritis Foundation that mentions there is now a branch of Tai Chi called “Mindful […]
Part of recuperating from a tkr involves learning how to walk again. We start out slow to gradually retrain our muscles and build up our strength. Sometimes, it is downright tiring. However..it is worth it. Here are some of the benefits of going for an early morning walk. At least they work for me, so […]
There will be times when it feels like there is nothing you can do to help your tkr recuperation process. I know, I’ve been there. We’ve all been there. Even when it seems fruitless, you need to exercise. You need to get up and move about. Pain or no pain, move. (And, you will be […]
