🦀 Issue 155 - Hold Still

This week, we’re talking about isometrics with three different ways to hold still. First, we’re going to see if isometrics actually reduce pain the way we’re taught in school. Then it’s time to see how contract-relax isometrics can help with non-specific neck pain before we finish

🦀 Issue 154 - My head!

This week, we’re talking about what happens after a concussion, well after a concussion. That’s because this week my head is bothering me and I’ve been thinking about it. My last mTBI was four years ago last month and I’m generally doing pretty well, but there
