Pain Free Athlete: Stop Chasing Symptoms, Treat the Cause of Your Pain
Pain Free AthleteWhen we have pain, we focus on where it hurts. If your ankle hurts the reaction is to assume there is something wrong with the ankle that needs to be fixed. With chronic joint and muscle pain this is often not the case. The pain is a symptom of an asymmetry elsewhere in the body.
A joint can hurt without being damaged. The pain is because the joint is compensating for another part of the body that is not functioning correctly. Tom Myers, world renowned manual therapist, uses the analogy of victims and criminals Read More

Yang: The Many Paradoxes Of Group Dynamics …
The Many Paradoxes Of Group Dynamics: In this case, knowledge does help actionI am not one to willingly join a group; I go out of my way to avoid group projects. One of my favorite professors once altered his syllabus so that I could opt out a team project (and thereby kept me in the class!) That was the pinnacle of my “no group work” principle in school, and since then the more I study groups, the less I desire to be part of them. However, I have also, willingly, been involved in some fabulous group works. The main reasons for these groups to have succeeded were because (1) all of us Read More
