Hypermobility (and 12 Steps to stronger, more stable shoulders)
Last week I posted a couple of videos on how to become a better hanger when your elbows or shoulders are more lax than they should be.

Back-to-school SHOE shopping
The winding up of summer vacation means a lot of things, and for a lot of us it means Shoe Shopping.
