Cervical manipulation (neck adjustments) appears a crude or even barbaric practice. Many medical practitioners allege that it is unsafe and can cause strokes. It's commonly known to be an effective treatment, but is it safe?
Thankfully we have decades of high quality research to scrutinize this question and the results will undoubtedly surprise you. To my knowledge, we will be the first to scour this information and provide a digestible overview to the public.

Osteoarthritis is a looming threat to all living beings and our understanding of it has evolved immensely.  Although research and clinical expertise has outgrown the old wear and tear model we grew up with, the vast majority of people still believe it holds true. Amend your beliefs about arthritis, discover the true cause and how to soften its effect on you.

If static stretching doesn't make for a good warm-up, what does? Today we go through the self-discovery process of warming up for exercise.
