  • How long does it take to fix bad posture?

    Hi, how long it takes depends on you. You can fix your posture immediately if you really want to - consciously. Then you have to program your sub conscious to make it happen without your conscious awareness. Having someone help you incorporate good posture habits and give you exercises to program good posture into your daily activities speeds up the process. Hope that helps! READ MORE

  • What is the fastest way to fix forward head posture?

    Hi, consciously being aware of your head being forward, and not doing it will help, but then you have to program your sub conscious to make it happen without your conscious awareness. Having someone help you incorporate good posture habits and show you exercises to retrain you for proper head carriage will help you achieve the results you want in the fastest way possible. Hope that helps! READ MORE

  • How do I regain the range of motion in my elbow?

    Hi, There are many reasons why range of motion (ROM) might be limited in an elbow. Here are a couple of questions which need to be asked: What caused the decreased ROM in the first place? Was the elbow in a sling? How long and for what reason? Was there trauma to the elbow itself or was surgery performed? If surgery, what was done? If no surgery, did the problem come on relatively suddenly or over time. These questions would need to be answered before a solution can be recommended to increase the ROM in your elbow. Thanks for asking! Mark "Dr. Bles" READ MORE
