How the Supreme Court’s Health Care Decision Will Affect Colorado

by Mark B Saunders June 18, 2012

To say there is a lot riding on the Supreme Court’s upcoming health care decision (due sometime in the next week or so), would be overstating the obvious. It’s being hailed as “The Decision of the Century,” although one could argue that Bush v. Gore might have kept us out of Iraq, and therefore saved the country about $1 trillion.

5-4 Supreme Court Split on Health Care?

by Mark B Saunders June 6, 2012

From March 26-28, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments about the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, frequently shortened to the Affordable Care Act—or simply “Obamacare.” These three days of arguments were the most time the Supreme Court has spent on a single case since the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision.

Nearly the One

by Marla Martenson April 17, 2012

How do you know if you have found the right one? Your soul mate? Sometimes, we just know it, and it works without a hitch; other times we go through a different process—a series of “near-fits” or “almost-matches.” But that’s okay. When this happens, these experiences can help us clarify our “don’t wants,” so we can turn them into “do wants,” and get that much closer to attracting the right person for us the next time around. It also reveals the importance of seeing that someone is the “almost the right one,” instead of “the right one.” This way you can let go of people who you are really not meant to be with in the long run.

Would you believe me if I told you that by doing three simple exercises for less than five minutes a day you would have a healthier body with a more alert mind, fewer headaches, and greater flexibility? Well, it’s true. Not only have I seen these exercises (what we physical therapists call “cervical stabilization and mobilization”) help resolve my patients’ neck issues, but they also helped me tremendously in my recovery from being rear-ended by a distracted college student who was chatting away on her cell phone and failed to notice that the traffic light had changed.

Golf the Smart Way

by Dillon Johnson PTAG-CPT, TPI-PF3 April 4, 2012

Golf dates back as far as the 1400s, with its official rules put down in writing in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1744. Today, any modern golfer would easily recognize the game as it was played then. Although golf has been around for centuries, it has only been in the last 10 years that golf has been looked at seriously by sports scientists from a strength, conditioning, and biomechanical perspective. In the previous 600 years, golfers overlooked the necessity to be fit, or train in order to play the game well—they just went out and played or hit balls at the driving range. This view has changed dramatically in recent years. Golf has evolved from a gentleman’s game involving drinking, cigar smoking, and the obligatory19th hole happy hour, to producing athletes such as Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson.
