Do the Tiger Squat!

I produced this great video to demonstrate the correct technique for the martial arts position called the Horse stance. Then we finish with everyone’s favorite, the Tiger Squat. You don’t need any equipment for this series and I guarantee that your legs will scream on this one!

Is Your Child’s Backpack a Good Fit?
3 steps to find out.

It’s back to school and it’s vital for your children to have the correct backpack that protects their spines without straining. The Association of NJ Chiropractors have put together an expert guide on what to look for when selecting a backpack for your child. Click here to view the web article with News 12 New Jersey video interview.
There’s also quick handy guide that gives you the safety tips and warning signs you need to be aware of to protect your children from unsafe backpacks. If your child’s school insists on over packing your kid’s pack, print out this flyer to use to convince them of the need to protect young spines.

5 Snacks for People with (or without) Diabetes
What do you snack on? I’m always looking for healthy snack ideas since I love to eat but don’t want junk snacks. Well here’s a few tips on snacks that will fill you up and give you good energy, not the fake Snickers kind. They all keep your blood sugar stable which is especially good for people who have blood sugar issues like diabetes and hypoglycemia.
