Broken Bones & Osteoporosis - Get Back into the Swing of Life!

So I’m not sure about you, but I know that as soon as the snow drops I think about all of the people in Colorado heading up over I-70 to get their skiing & snowboarding on. It’s hard to resist the pull to be up in the mountains enjoying that fresh snow and all of the fun that the mountains have to offer come wintertime. What I also hear alot about are broken legs and wrists from people who jumped too high and tried to do moves they weren’t ready for. Some people just have bad

Sleep & Depression - Can I feel better?

Having a steady sleep schedule likely sounds IMPOSSIBLE. Especially if you have lots of things going on in your life like with family, school, and the holidays just around the corner. But it’s so important to have a consistent sleep schedule, not only does it help you prepare for the day, but it also works on a biological level to let your body know when it should be ready to wake or sleep.

Seasonal Depression/Well Being I’ve spoken about this before, and I’m speaking to it again because it’s so powerful.

Light Therapy & Tinnitus - Have you experienced a ringing in your ears?

Have you experienced a ringing in your ears? When I’m thinking about what to send out to you each week, I often think about what I’m hearing the most from my clients. What things are they experiencing that I can help with? Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot about Tinnitus. At first it surprised me how many people mentioned it. Once I thought more about it I realized that it may be a lot more common than I imagined. Heck, I even dealt with it for awhile. I spent time looking in

Specifically, “Neuropathy is damage or dysfunction of one or more nerves that typically results in numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and pain in the affected area.

Helping our Children Benefit from Light Therapy

Helping our Children Benefit from Light Therapy When school starts up again it can be so relieving - more time to take care of things that were forgotten over the summertime - but it also means that many of us have kids in sports and the winter months are coming. This means less sunshine and a rise in seasonal depression. With Rocky, we start with football, and this is a sport full of contact.
