The purpose of this guide is to make it easy for you to locate some of my online resources that may apply to the area(s) you are struggling with.
But before you dive in, here are a few things you should know:
Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or treatment and before undertaking a new health care regimen, and never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website.
The resources listed below might not fully address the specific symptom you are having. Some of the resources are more in-depth than others. They range from quick, stand-alone exercise demonstrations to client testimonials, to articles containing full-blown exercise routines for addressing a particular symptom. All of the resources are free, unless you see a $ next to it.
