Your dentist can help diagnose and treat common dental problems in kids, including: Tooth Decay – can lead to sensitivity, pain, and gum issues. Keep track of when and how well your child brushes. Gingivitis – is a precursor to gum disease. Speak to your dentist if your child’s gums bleed when brushing and flossing. Thumb Sucking – if long-term, can cause an open bite and problems with eating and talking. Broken/Chipped Teeth – ensure your child wears a mouth guard when playing sports and seek treatment for broken/chipped teeth. Orthodontic Issues – your dentist may refer you to an orthodontist for these issues.

Massage & Yoga for Your Heart
It’s true that massage therapy and yoga cannot ‘undo’ a diagnosis or cardiovascular event. But It’s also true that they can help relieve and reduce pain. Massage and yoga can create suppleness and openness through the chest wall, ribcage, and shoulders, making breathing and moving more comfortable. These practices can bring us out of a fight-or-flight response, and lower our mental and emotional stress levels, both bringing down blood pressure but also, overall tension and holding patterns in the body. Ultimately, we heal when we give ourselves permission to be still, sit with our bodies, and listen to our hearts.
Chiropractic Care for Newborns
Why on earth should a newborn see a chiropractor? Chiropractic is about assessing and improving function rather than pain. Babies go through thousands of milestones in their first year of life alone. It is important that these milestones are reached and occur in the appropriate time frame. Assessing your baby’s nervous system function and removing any interference may allow your baby to appropriately reach these milestones. Adjustments for a baby look very different than for an adult. Often, all that is needed is sustained pressure – the same pressure you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato. It is safe, gentle and effective.
Information and Energy are Key to Health
Have you ever considered that in a state of total wellness, the body’s cells and organs always know what to do, and do it perfectly? The latest science is revealing the mechanisms that allow the body’s optimal functioning, and also what can cause it to lose resilience and efficacy, and to even malfunction. All of the science, along with NES’s extensive research and testing, has demonstrated that the root cause of malfunction – as well as the source of optimal functioning – exists beneath the physiology of the body. We must look to the physics underlying our biochemistry.

At Home Fitness
The last few months have been challenging. Many businesses, like F45 Training, have adapted extremely well. Since the lockdown, F45 has been running online, at-home zoom sessions called “F45 Live”. Members and non-members can sign up on the F45 Training App. Members participate in workouts at home with an F45 trainer live on the screen doing the session with them, giving them their queuing and motivation. The F45 Challenge app offers bodyweight workouts, weighted workouts, and recovery sessions at the click of a finger. All of these options have helped their members stay engaged, stay fit and stay on top of their fitness goals!
