TENS Therapy Spotlighted During Pain Awareness Month

September 26, 2018 By D Marie 15 Comments

TENS unit

September is Pain Awareness Month. For those living with chronic conditions, or even those experiencing an episode of pain more acutely, the impacts are far-reaching. Personal desperation is not uncommon. Family and friends may feel helpless. Additionally, the workplace is often negatively affected. Nationally, the conversation around pain and the expanding use of opioid drugs is front and center. However, a viable solution, TENS therapy, remains unfamiliar to many. Omron sponsored this post. I received compensation and an Omron Avail … [Read more...]

March 6, 2018 By D Marie 14 Comments

Opioid alternative drug

This post is sponsored by Pacira and SheKnows Media. In January, BlogHer hosted their first BlogHer Health conference for for women influencers. The lineup highlighted mental disorders (my jam), migraine management, endometriosis, and a presentation from Pacira Pharmaceuticals entitled “The Operating Room: A Gateway to the Opioid Epidemic.” The message is a vital one and worth sharing, as it discussed how patients can be an advocate for their own health and can plan against pain.

runDisney Medical Team

After dozens and dozens of runDisney contests, it was my turn.

During the 2017 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, this princess turned physical therapist finally had the opportunity to trade in her running shoes for a stethoscope. Let me share what every runner should know about … [Read more...]

My Kingdom for a Comfortable Theme Park Shoe | A Floafers Review

January 4, 2018 By D Marie 13 Comments

make a wish at cinderella wishing well

**I received a pair of shoes to "test drive." All personal and professional opinions are completely my own, free of influence, and posted with full integrity. I could blame it on aging (hallux valgus), running (foot spread), or simply a lack of tolerance, but I have been SO challenged to find a comfortable theme park shoe this past decade. If you read this blog, you know I spend a fair amount of time in certain Disney Parks globally- Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris specifically. I am not alone. A typical Guest at Walt … [Read more...]

Running motivation master Jeff Galloway is at it again. The Olympian who introduced the sport of running to hundreds of thousands with his Run Walk Run method (formed in 1976) has just upped the game.

Choose 2018 miles, 2018 kilometers (1254 miles), 675 miles (or a quarter of the 2018), or a cumulative, team event for the 2018. The true strength of  … [Read more...]
