I know what you’re thinking; no this isn’t a sarcastic joke. This is a real reflection of my past years’ monthly Health & Wellness Column in the Healthy Tuesday’s section. Over the years, there have been many responses. They have come to me via email, letters, in the isles of SPDs supermarket, or even on the county’s popular single-track trails. I love the feedback and appreciate the “kudos” (that came from the June 2020 article on the App Strava) when given out to me. Looking back at this years’ list of the titles of the articles written, they give me a sense of pride and gratitude. I have been able to share critical information with the readers of The Union. This is an honor. The information shared had helped people get out of pain or improve function when they thought no improvements were possible. I have also been able to instill hope for some in despair. With that hope comes a plan that translates to a specific set of exercises designed to accomplish the patients’ goals. I truly feel blessed to have a profession that challenges me each day.
