Cardiovascular Exercise is Essential!
I keep telling patients that cardiovascular exercise is essential for effective injury repair. Individuals who do not exercise, who work in polluted environments, or who smoke tend to heal at a much slower rate. Aerobic exercise (walking,

Unfortunately for most of us, this problem has gotten much worse with having to work from home and sitting through endless ZOOM communications caused by COVID-19. The poor ergonomics of working from home have left many of my patients suffering from pain caused by postural stress. Many of them are spending hours on their la
