Improving Your Health By Doing “Little Things” Well

Posted by Dr. Scott Wilson | 24-Dec-2015

As with many things in life, one of the keys to getting and staying healthier is doing the “little things” well.

As a result, we create additional stress and strain on our neck, back and hips which leads to weakness, injury and even chronic pain. In fact, poor body mechanics or basic movement is one of the main reasons why so many people get injured after starting a new exercise program.
