    The Essence of Manual Therapy in Physical Therapy

    What exactly is manual therapy in the field of physical therapy? What role does it play in patient recovery? Is it critical for physical therapists to possess it in their skill arsenal? To put in perspective, the science and art of manual therapy, or manipulative therapy, has been around in Europe dating back to 400 BC. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, used manual therapy primarily to treat scoliosis. This treatment model has historical roots and was used around the world.

    An Open Mind, A Happy Place

    The adage “Do not judge a book by its cover” is profoundly meaningful. Not exploring what lies inside unveils the lack of personal improvement. Adopting an open mind is the door to learning new things we do not know to exist. Undoubtedly, one can always obtain more wisdom beyond the knowing. Whether good or bad, a turn of each page and chapter builds a momentum of experiences one can accrue to adjust, solve, and appreciate the journey. Living is not satisfyingly rewarding when you hide behind the curtain of doubt, uncertainty, and poor judgmental tendencies. I learned so much from reading what Leonardo da Vinci did during his life. It…

    Ebb and Flow

    Fluidly vibrant colors bring aliveness into a room – that is how I see life. Be in awe of its presentation, like seizing lightning in a bottle. Move along with its current forces, and accept the emerging drifts as they come. Take everything in stride wrapped in kindness and understanding, and there will be no room for negativity.  Be easygoing, lenient, and adaptive in your inner sanctum. In the profound words of Bruce Lee, “Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless. Like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes…

Either can be triggered from being in a prolonged forward head posture, which is usually from having the computer screen too low and a lack of back support. The combination causes one’s head to migrate forward. This…
