Women are paying the price after grocery shopping!
Grocery shopping is one of those tasks essential to independent living, but it is easy to forget how complex an activity it is.

It’s been a year since I attended the first of eight knee pain solution sessions, and I’m happy to report that daily knee pain is a thing of the past! It still feels like a miracle that I can continue to avoid double knee replacement surgery. Of course this did not happen by just staring at a computer screen for 8 Saturdays. I did the exercises and followed the processes that Renee teaches. Even now I have incorporated 15-20 minute of stretching into my daily schedule, and I stay on top of any inflammation or a sluggish lymphatic system. If I have a flare up, or overwork my knees, I use the techniques I learned to quickly get back t…
