One of the first realizations we had is that it can be physically challenging to do a long, full exhale, pause five seconds (or more),… Read more →

This past week I was fortunate enough to give a presentation for the awesome staff and interns at Athletic Evolution in Woburn, MA on optimizing the health and performance of connective tissue.  For those of you unfamiliar with AE, they are a private Nike SPARQ-affiliated gym and one of the premier training centers in New England; you can check out their… Read more →
