I want to extend wonderful holiday wishes to all of you! I hope this season brings you much joy and happiness.
Now is the perfect time to start thinking about New Year’s resolutions. For many of my viewers, the holidays are a reminder of all of the ways in which back pain has compromised their quality of life. This would be a great time to begin thinking about some of the lifestyle issues which may be contributing to your discomfort, and resolving to take steps to make them right. Back pain can frequently come from numerous cumulative factors- and your home & workplace ergonomics, exercise routine, and general frame of mind all contribute in their own way to whether you feel good or bad.
Let me share with you my two New Years resolutions, and then make a suggestion for you to add to yours;
1) 2010 will be the year I get my fitness back in order. I found some extra weight during my residency, which I have been in a constant battle to get rid of. This will be the year.
2) I will continue to try and improve the ways in which I try to help my patients, my readers, and friends to get rid of their back pain. I will continue to offer tips and suggestions here on the blog and through my programs to help as many people as possible to feel GREAT!
My suggestion to you, is that you make this the year to create a spine friendly life- look at you home, your workplace, you body, and your mind- and try to optimize all you can. The cumulative effect of your efforts will clearly pay off.
All my best, and Happy Holidays!!
