As a chiropractor, I treat many people with lower back pain. This pain often comes from repetitive strain, poor movement habits, muscle imbalances (such as tightness or weakness), or stiff joints. In some cases, it’s caused by poor spine stabilization — when the muscles meant to stabilize the spine aren’t working effectively. Recently, I came…
Core training is crucial in both fitness and back rehabilitation. The primary goal is to enhance spine stability by improving muscle stiffness. Stability refers to the spine’s ability to maintain or quickly recover its position after being disturbed. Stronger muscles around the spine lead to greater stability.

As my patients improve in their pain and their function I change my focus from passive care to a more active approach. At some point in…
I must say, I didn’t expect to have so many people viewing my blog on exposing a fake TRX suspension trainer. I definitely didn’t expect to have people emailing me and telling me their stories of also purchasing a fake TRX. Here are two emails I received recently. Dr Notley, I have both a…
A while back, when I first started the TRX 40/40 challenge I noted, during the TRX atomic pushups, that my arms were wobbling too much. My shoulders have always been my Achilles’ heel.
