Final Destination is a classic 5-part film franchise where a group of young people cheat their way out of death, only to have death chase them down one at a time in the most gruesome ways imaginable. We’re talking getting your insides vacuumed out by a pool filter, getting squished flat by a giant falling pane of glass, rocketing to your doom off a malfunctioning roller coaster, or stepping out in front of a bus going 70 miles per hour. There are even more benign injuries such as a gymnast stepping onto a nail with her bare foot… which naturally leads to a disaster where another gymnast incorrectly dismounts from a bar and mangles all of their limbs on the mat below. I decided to dive deep into Final Destination to react to these “injuries” and see if there is anything to be learned from a medical perspective so we don’t accidentally break a machine in the weight room and smash our heads between the plates. This video is definitely not for the faint of heart, so be warned!

Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma

cures No Comments »

Scleroderma is a chronic, often progressive autoimmune disease, without any cure. It means “hard skin”, and can cause a thickening and tightening of the skin. If it gets internal, it can cause severe damage to internal organs, and death. Michele Fuchs and a group of her friends wanted to find a way to support their friend, Stacie, who has the disease. Michele is here to discuss the 10th Annual Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma Walk; she is joined by Kelly Kohls, a former committee member who has Scleroderma. Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma is happening Sunday, August 19 at Kinderberg Park in Germantown. Registration starts at 7:30am, and the 1 or 3 mile walk starts at 9am. For more information and to register, visit Scleroderma.org/SteppingOutGermantown.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
TL;DR: Relying on only rest to restore full range of motion and health is a surefire way to be disappointed. Active, conscious, mindful training to restore proper movement patterns is 100% necessary.

Have you heard that the blood flow to a tendon is poor and that that is part of the reason why it heals so slowly? In this video, Maryke explains why you don’t have to worry too much about the blood flow and what you should rather focus on.
