Spine Fusion Treatment with Postural Restoration

April 26, 2017 by Jean Massé

Patients and therapists often feel there is nothing to treat once the spine is fused. They feel it is too late.

The Importance of Arm Swing During Walking and Running

December 19, 2016 by Jean Massé

Arm swing is becoming a forgotten part of walking. We live in an era of cell phones, groceries, strollers, large purses and any number of other growing encumbrances.
