Poignant Ways to Honor Veterans and Military Personnel on Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a somewhat misunderstood holiday in the U.S. zeitgeist, seen by many civilians as the kickoff of summer with a vaguely patriotic backdrop. Yet, Memorial Day is intended as a time of solemn reflection and gratitude for those who have served in our military, particularly those who gave their lives in service. It might take the form of a moment of silence or spending much of the day in reflection, but one should be sure to take the time to honor veterans and soldiers on this day.
Faces of Life U: Andrew McIntosh, Ph.D.
Andrew McIntosh, Ph.D., lays claim to his heritage from Coleraine, Ireland (and with the charming Irish brogue to prove it.) He grew up with three siblings, one brother and two sisters, engulfed in the small-town life that makes up the tight-knit Northern Ireland community. Like many energetic young people looking for an athletic outlet, McIntosh quickly found rugby as a means of escape, exercise and enjoyment. At 18, he flew the coop to the United Kingdom to earn his B.S. in Anatomy and Human Biology from the University of Liverpool.

Historically, many chiropractic associations were formed out of a necessity to define chiropractic principles, defend chiropractors’ rights to practice and fight for advancement of the chiropractic profession.

Restoring Optimal Flexibility & Movement
A Fitness Center Wellness Moment by Jermaine Alexander. It is well noted that a tight muscle is a weak muscle. That being said, more than 50% of Americans do not stretch on a regular basis, which leads to poor movement quality, lack of mobility, muscular imbalances, pain, and more importantly, acute and chronic injury.
