December 10, 2021 //  by Holly Wallis

Pain is an unruly beast to manage. We move and it hurts. We sit and it still hurts. The Doctor’s orders are often not to move if there is pain. You may have heard the joke “I went to the doctor and told him it hurts when I do this. He said: so don’t do …

Feet, feet, fabulous feet

December 7, 2021 //  by Holly Wallis

Every day, we move through life with little thought about our feet. We cram our feet into pointy shoes, high heels, and ill-fitting footwear for the sake of fashion. Why is it that we want our feet to look good, but don’t care if they feel good? Although most of us suffer from some form …
