Exercise is one of those things that isn’t just about maintaining a nice waistline or seeing that ‘perfect’ number on a scale. Exercise is really about maintaining health through movement. Without movement, we become unhealthy. So, to an extent, if all you can do is get out and go for a couple 10 minute walks […]
Nutrition can be a topic that really baffles people. We’ve become so unsure of what to eat, how to eat, how much to eat, and it’s really tough to find reliable sources of information. If you read one article about what healthy nutrition is, you’ll find another saying something different. Let me demystify it a […]
Dr. Q’s News
Health Update
Information about health, exercise, and nutrition can be found everywhere these days. Quick access to information is both a really cool thing and it can also be overwhelming at times. Have knee pain? Well, you can read about a million websites talking about knee pain – what causes it, how to make it better, who to see, what exercises to do, what vitamin will help, when to get surgery, etc – and leave with about a million different things and no real answers or the complete wrong answer.
So, I’m going to throw out a short list of some really good reading. The following are books that I’ve read (a couple are ones that have come highly recommended) and have found some really valuable information while reading them.
“I came to Dr. Q as a last ditch effort before APF’s National championships for Powerlifting looking for some quick relief in 2013. I don’t think she planned on me hanging around for almost 2 years now! In that timeframe, she has combatted my multiple attempts to tear my body into pieces-most notably my latest Latissimus Dorsi/Acromio-Clavicular joint surgery for an injury sustained at America’s Strongest Man whilst hoisting 750 lbs. off the floor. Being a competitive athlete herself, she understands the mindset of a driven individual. This has led to some unique and highly effect soft tissue treatments that restored my shoulder to full ROM weeks AHEAD of scheduled PT approximates. When I saw the MRI report, I thought my competitive days were over. I can honestly say Dr. Q has strived to keep that from becoming truth, and while I have a ways to go before I’m mixing it up with the best strongmen in the world again, I know BodyWorks will get me there as quickly and safely as possible!”
