I remember when I first started my practice, over 30 years ago now, one middle aged fellow who came in to see me. He had been a high school teacher all of his adult life and he had just resigned. Just like that, right out of the blue.

Exercise is on the brain. And why shouldn’t it be? The sun is stronger, the days are
longer and this is the time to get motivated. If you haven’t managed to peel yourself off the couch yet, then maybe it’s time to draw back those curtains, put on Ricky Martin and let your body shake away the winter blahs. It’s May. We’re teetering on the edge of bathing suit season…
