School’s Around the Corner, Backpack Safety

As August draws to a close, every child dreads the return to school at the end of the month or in September. Many children carry their textbooks and technology aids (such as laptops, tablets, or even smart phones) in their backpack. After a while, that backpack gets heavy and can cause shoulder and back discomfort in our children.

Allergy Relief

Autumn Allergies and School

Summer is coming to a close and days are getting shorter which means allergies and school are returning. As we take our children to the mall to buy new clothing for the school year we should also be sure our children are ready to combat their allergies at school. Learning new math, science, or history can be made more difficult if your child is suffering from fall allergies.

First Aid

Wound Care for the Home and Road

Basic first aid is important to properly heal any wound and having the proper supplies, readily at hand, is crucial. Making sure your first-aid kit at home or on the road is properly stocked cannot be overstated since the ability to control the conditions any wound is exposed to is critical to minimizing any infection and expediting healing.

Grab Bars and Safety Rails

Avoiding Falls: Especially in the Bathroom

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury to our older population. A fall can happen anywhere; on the stairs, outside on unlevel terrain, and especially our bathroom. Our bathrooms are loaded with slippery surfaces just waiting to reach out and grab us.

Low Vision Aids

Daily Living Aids for the Elderly

It’s incredibly easy when you’re younger to take for granted the minutia of everyday life. As we get older, many of the things that came easy now become more difficult. Everything from walking to just going to the bathroom can become a major task as we age. Even ego and vanity can lead to our older relatives or friends possibly creating a dangerous environment for everyday life.

Post Mastectomy

Cancer Awareness…Every Month!!

The key to defeating breast cancer or any other cancer is early detection.

Nutrition

Drinking and Eating Made Easier

There are very few things in this world that we must do, but eating and drinking is one of them.

Relaxation and Leisure

Gifts for the Senses

The sight of a glorious sunrise/sunset or the smell of a fragrant flower enhances our enjoyment of the world around us.

Massage Therapy

Give the Gift of Massage

The first thing that comes to mind too many people when they hear the term massage is a relaxing day at the spa, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. Many people have been visiting massage therapists to receive the relief from a plethora of physical maladies that can improve with a good deep tissue massage. The benefits of massage have been studied for years.

Go Pink

Go Pink…October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Removing skin cancers from the equation, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women (regardless of race) and it is through awareness that we can help more women (and men) beat this disease.

Orthopedics

Sports and the Handicapped

Many people feel that competitive sports is off-limits to those with handicaps and that is just plain wrong. A multitude of handicaps can be overcome to allow everyone and anyone to participate in their favorite sport and succeed.

Wheelchair

Benefits of Wheelchairs

Longer distances can present a greater challenge to those with limited mobility and due to an injury/illness, or just aging in general, fatigue can be a major problem. Wheelchairs (both manual and powered) and even scooters can make these greater distances much easier to tackle.
