Pain is a construct of the brain. Pain is created in order to protect us, and yet the key is to understand the mechanism of pain. Only then can you overcome it. Contrary to what you might believe about pain, there are no pain signals being sent to your brain. Instead,...

In my practice, I have treated many patients who had claims with ICBC or Work Safe and these agencies are always on the look-out for malingering. The patient/claimant is often viewed as an opportunist making a big deal out of a small incident. Questions based on the...

By touching a body, we touch every event it has experienced. For a few brief moments, we hold all of a client’s stories in our hands. We witness someone’s experience of their own flesh, through some of the most powerful means possible: the contact of our...

You wake up in the morning and make a mental list. Cook breakfast. Do the laundry. Wash the dishes. Take out the trash. Vacuum the carpet. Feed the pets. Add in a family of bustling children, and you’ve got yourself a circus before you head for work. All day long...

There’s a pill for everything. Yet nobody seems to be getting better. Modern society wants everything fast, and they want everything right now — fast cars, fast food, and fast relief from pain. Like instant coffee, the convenience of a pill seems like the...
