Orthotics – Healthcare or Business?
The custom foot orthotic industry in North America generates over $1 billion annually. Originally in the late 19th century orthotics began as a remedy for tired and achy feet, but this has since evolved into a massive industry based one major principle – flat feet are pathological, and arches need to be supported for feet to be healthy.

Workplace Movement
How many offices do you walk into where the staff are doing star jumps or squats? Or meetings where half the people may be standing? Very few, I assume. Naturally, the question is WHY?

To sit or to stand? Both have their positives and negatives. Many businesses have made the move to utilise sit-stand desks in the office. A lot of research is against prolonged sitting, as it has been shown to be linked with higher rates of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, higher prevalence of some types of cancer and lower life expectancy
Balanced Movement for Your Spine – Treat Your Spine Like You Treat Your Teeth
Most people are quite comfortable with the concept of brushing their teeth regularly. They do it not because they have tooth decay or gum disease, but because they don’t want to develop either. However, when it comes to the back, most people assume that exercise or repetitive movements should be done only when something has already gone wrong, specifically in response to pain.
