		<title>Rolfing featured in Chicago Tribue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Chicago Tribune recently featured Rolfing in an article.  It&#8217;s actually the best mainstream article (i.e., the most balanced viewpoint and good general description) I&#8217;ve seen recently&#8211;and perhaps ever. http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/sc-health-0203-rolfing-main-20100203,0,640363.story]]></description>

		<title>How Common is Low-Back Pain?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is an interesting article I just saw this morning.  Basically, it&#8217;s saying that 8/10 people have back pain in their lives.  That&#8217;s a whole lot of people.  Some of it has to do with sedentary lifestyles, but a lot has to do with the fact that we do a lot of activities that our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Well this is one way to improve posture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, a good friend sent this picture to me awhile back.  Apparently, there is a store here in Portland selling this contraption.  It is definitely one way to help your child have better posture. Of course, another way would be to engage your child in learning how to move properly (or quite frankly, in today&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Placebo effect measured in fMRI machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find this pretty interesting.  The placebo effect is super powerful.  And regardless of what western medicine wants to believe, it plays a role in all forms of healing.  If it can be combined with actual beneficial treatments, all the better.  It&#8217;s the same as having &#8220;positive intentions&#8221;. The article can be found at New [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neat article on &#8220;Fox Walking&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just found this interesting article about walking the &#8220;fox walk&#8221;.  I haven&#8217;t read it fully, but I thought I would link to it.  I don&#8217;t think bunions are caused by shoes necessarily, but by bad food mechanics (which aren&#8217;t really helped by shoes). I found the link via this article about barefoot running on [...]]]></description>

		<title>OK&#8230;so I&#8217;m really bad at posting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[But I do have a reason.  I&#8217;m not a huge fan of divulging personal information on the internet.  Personally, I think people who blurt their whole lives out on Facebook/Twitter/etc. are just asking for privacy issues down the line.  Criminals are even using it to know when people are out on vacation so they know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stressful Times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of stressful things going on in the world right now, with no real end in sight.  Modern society has a problem with stress.  Animals deal with stress immediately and show much less long term effects than humans.  It&#8217;s easy to stop being stressed when the tiger is no longing stressing you.  [...]]]></description>
