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...
That’s a pretty big statement, however it is our transgression away from what we are genetically designed to eat as humans that is getting us into trouble. Our diet, among other things, is an ‘inflammatory’ diet which in turn can provide the spark to initiate many of...
I love summer Maybe not the intense heat of an Australian summer, but the refreshing southerly changes, the sound of the cicadas chirping, the smell of the afternoon thunderstorms onto the hot pavement, the fun around the pool, and of course the beach. The fun of...
What do you think it is? It is “What can I do at home?” The answer to this question is quite simple. It is not about adding anything extra for you to do. Quite frankly it is quite the opposite. It is about taking things away, changing the habits that bring people...
I sat in the doctor’s office in disbelief. He had just said “you are going to have to take these for the rest of your life.” I thought that there had to be a better way, a different way. “The rest of your life” rang through my ears like an echo in a canyon, repeating...

As I have grown up I have noticed an increased reliance upon computers, iPads, phones and portable devices. Added to that the increase in time that we are stationary and/or sedentary and bending forward be it reading, driving a car, watching TV, socialising or...
I was reading my local paper the other week and noticed the following headline: $3.4 million maintenance backlog for Davidson High and Barrenjoey High Wow! That is a hefty bill! I couldn’t figure out why hadn’t they just maintained these schools over time. I am sure...
It is amazing the amount of sportspeople who are thanking their chiropractor and the work that they do to help keep them performing at their best. They see chiropractor in Chatswood, not just as a therapy or a treatment, but a way of life. What is it that Chiropractic...
