Hey, it’s 4:10 a.m and I was finally able to get my daughter back to sleep, guess who’s wide awake now!  Perfect time to update the blog. 

Pain:  If you only read one article from this post, read this one.  This is a great article explaining how chronic pain may develop and how it may not be “mechanical insult” to the tissues that is causing your pain, CLICK HERE to check it out.

Pain:  This is another great article about how the science of pain research is progressing.  It is a little bit more clinical and some of the language may be a bit difficult but still a really informative read.  It’s titled “Reconceptualising Pain According to Modern Pain Science”

Nutrition:  With winter upon us and ultimately less sun-light, you may want to examine how much vitamin D you are getting right now.  Check out this article by the great public broadcaster, CBC, on “The Sunshine Vitamin”

Fitness:  Check out these two great posts by Eric Cressey about posture.  Part 1 and Part 2

Books: I’m not completely finished but so far Painful Yarns has been a great read and is an excellent resource for anyone experiencing “persistent pain”

I’m also navigating my way through the “Muscle Imbalances Revealed 2.0″ DVD’s which have been awesome so far and great for clinicians with an interest in corrective exercise

Websites: This is a web-site filled with answers to just about any question you may have regarding painful syndromes.  Check out save yourself.ca

Motivation:  Not sure how motivating this is but it’s worth the 50 seconds!!!
