Let’s admit it, the pace of our lives and the enormous pressures that are continuously loaded on can have a negative effect on us and our families.Work must be done, the boss is demanding, the family must be taken care of, bills must be paid, friendships need maintaining, kids have homework and lots of activities, there’s not enough hours in the day, marriages are under attack, being single is __________, plus you have no time for yourself, and it’s only Monday. The question is, “how can you overcome the burdens of life and not be overwhelmed?” The life changing answer is a matter of priorities alignment. Whether it is stress, time management, self-esteem issues, anger, motivation, grief, guilt, addiction, depression, insomnia, etc., any of these can lead your life out of alignment. Admitting your life needs a priorities adjustment is a step toward getting one’s life under control and begin focusing on the things that can make a difference in your life and the in the lives of others.The fact that you are reading this and seeking help is a step in the right direction. My desire is to help you with life skills that are designed to lead you in self-discovery of needs, priorities, faith, goals, etc.Our time spent together either through CHAT, PHONE, WEBCAM, or IN PERSON will be a productive conversation with you and your issues as the focal point. Once you are seeking alignment, the other areas of your life can then begin to fall into place. It may not happen overnight, but the process toward proper alignment will only begin when you initiate it. It will be my pleasure to help you begin your process toward proper alignment, today. I have spent my career helping people with life issues and everyday sort of problems. I am a good listener, empathetic and will seek to interject with straight-forward, understanding comments. I am not judgemental or cold. My aim is to be open and warm. Your desire to receive help is my number 1 priority when we are conversing. I have experience helping individuals, teenagers, singles, marriages, engaged couples, college students, divorcees, people grieving, people out of work, people who are lost and need to find their way and those who are stuck in a rut and need help getting unstuck. If you believe my approach and experience in counseling, coaching, and chaplaincy can help you, don’t hesitate to contact me.

"Doc, I try to do my exercises but I have to hit the ground running in the morning….to get the kids ready for the school bus….I have morning meetings….I'm not a morning person….I'm pulled in 100 directions during the day….I forget about them until I'm in bed….I exercise on my job and that's enough…." I'm sure we've all rationalized our inability to keep up with exercises, especially after our episode of low back pain (LBP) subsides. In fact, only about 4% of LBP patients continue doing their exercises after their pain subsides. That means 96% of us with chronic, recurring low back pain DO NOT exercise even though we know we should. We feel bad, even guilty for not exercising. So, what can we do to "trick" ourselves into being more compliant with our low back exercises? First, let's accept the fact that most of us cannot consistently "fit in" exercise into our busy schedules. With that said, theTIMINGof when to do the exercise may be more important than even doing them at the same time every day. In other words, do a few exercises when you need them the most. For example, if you're working at a computer for more than 1 hour, and you start to feel back pain from the prolonged sitting - especially if your work station set up is less than ideal - do one or two sitting exercises right at your work station, BEFORE your back pain gets any worse. If you wait too long, the exercises may not be of much benefit. Setting a timer next to your screen that beeps every hour is a good reminder to do one or two simple exercises and only takes a minute or two. Many inexpensive digital watches can be set to beep on the hour/every hour or, you can set a "timer" to beep after 60 minutes as a "gentle" reminder. Some cell phones also have a timer feature. Here are three sit down low back exercise options (try them all and decide which one(s) feel most productive/helpful): 1."Crossed Knee Stretch":Cross your legs; pull the crossed knee towards your opposite shoulder (feel the pull in your buttocks); arch your low back and at the same time, twist or rotate to the side of the crossed knee. Hold for 5-10 seconds and repeat up to 3 times. Repeat this on the opposite side. 2."Sit Twists":Reach across with your right hand and grasp your left leg at mid-thigh. Twist/rotate your back to the left and pull with your arm. Hold 5-10 seconds / repeat 3 times. Repeat this on the opposite side. 3."Sit Floor Touches":Bend over as if to touch the floor or tie a shoe. Hold 5-10 seconds. If you do the math, it would take a minute for #1 and #2, 30 seconds for #3 (total 2.5 min.). If that's too long, hold for 5 seconds. If that's too long, do 1 rep, not 3. You get the idea…..MAKE IT WORK! Modify the dose to fit your schedule or ability to stretch. If you do this AT THE TIME you start to feel tight or sore, you canPREVENTa LBP episode! We realize you have a choice in where you choose your healthcare services. If you, a friend or family member requires care for low back pain, we sincerely appreciate the trust and confidence shown by choosing our services and look forward in serving you and your family presently and, in the future. ...read more
