RAPID NeuroFascial Reset is a new soft tissue, movement-based therapeutic technique that addresses the central nervous system’s role in alleviating tension and restrictions within muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Every session is a combination of examination and treatment. The RAPID provider uses his/her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Hypersensitive areas are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements, providing almost instant relief from many conditions/health issues like headaches/migraines, shoulder pain, sciatica, back pain, plantar fasciitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Book Review: Remember to Live:
Embracing the Second Half of Life
Remember to Live discusses the importance of living your life now, and “remembering to live” by keeping your priorities clearly before you and using your time, talent, energy, and material resources accordingly. When we face the fact that life is not limitless, it clarifies our vision and intention. We stop putting things off for “someday.” None of us can escape life experiences like aging, illness, loss, or death. Do we deal with those reminders with fear and trepidation or with a desire to learn the lessons they have to teach and to continue growing through our encounters with them?
