Screen time – let’s face it, it is here to stay…Computers, phones, tablets. When I was a kid it was just the TV set. We, myself and my two brothers, would come home from school and/or sport, sometimes do our homework, and sit through re runs of shows like ‘I Dream of...
The Universe works in amazing ways…and is always right. I heard this quote years ago and as much as at times I will fight it, it is amazingly true. Through practice and through life I come into contact with a vast number of people from very diverse backgrounds. On...
I have just come back from a visit from my dentist. I have got to say; my teeth look and feel amazing. You know, I also look after my teeth all by myself. I brush them daily; I floss; I do not have a diet rich in sugary foods; and I definitely do not use my teeth as...
A new study out of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States has revealed that the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) in the knees of humans has doubled since the mid-20th century. This has become a lifestyle disease caused by what we...
There have been few things that have moved me so much. Events over this past weekend have had me reach deep into my soul and realise the power that resides within us, and within those close to us. The strength of a brother’s bond. Saturday was my daughter’s...
I was out with Ivanka over the weekend looking for plants for our garden. As I walked past these tomato plants I noticed something truely amazing. Something that only exists in intelligent matter. Chiropractic has defined this as Universal Intelligence - A Universal...
If you are living in Sydney at the moment the likelihood that you have been or know of someone who has been struck down by the current cold and flu if pretty close to 100% of you. This current winter is being advertised by the authorities as the ‘worst flu season...
I love sport. I love watching, I love participating. More importantly, I love the lessons learned from sport. From the depths of competition. Plato’s quote, “You can discover more about a person from an hour of play than in a year of conversation” Is perfectly...
From a very young age I learned that we have five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. These senses help us to detect what is happening around us, and for the most part allow our body to adapt to the sensory stimulus. If we sense the cold, our body will try...
Last month I posted my 7 Top Immune Boosters. As always though, some of us will do a cold and flu. The way I see it our body needs to, every two or so years, do a cold and flu. Think of it as a 'spring clean' for your body. So here is a follow up as an action list...
What is the end impact of just looking after a part of our body; of just strengthening a muscle to facilitate healing from injury? Why did that area become injured in the first place? I have had clients in the past tell me that they have had to have a hip or a knee...
I had just finished my swimming training and was drying off and gathering my gear together, and I couldn’t help but listen in on two of the lady’s conversation next to me…yes I was eavesdropping! One of the ladies had not been swimming for a while and was telling...
I got to reminisce about 'the good old days' during the week with one one of my clients. I broke out a 'Con the Fruiterer' voice as we started to talk. From here the conversation took a turn. I got to talking about the local shops from where I grew up. There was a...
It is amazing. I was in Melbourne over the weekend to attend a seminar that focused on stress. What should I see in the main Victorian paper but an article on kid's and stress. Could this all be set up by the lifestyle that we are now mostly living? With the birth...
I can distinctly remember the day as a kid that I both helped to give birth to, and subsequently killed a cicada. I was devastated. I just thought that I was helping. On this day, a cicada shell collection day, I had come across a cicada nymph emerging out of its...
