Two out of three front page headlines from today’s WallStreetJournal/Personal section were about wellness(WSJ 1/3/12)2012 is off to a great start for wellness in the media!

1 — Why Placebos Work Wonders((The unstated implication: People may not need all the drugs they’ve been prescribed)
2 —Neck Pain? Skip the Pills, Just Stretch Like a Chicken“Doing some simple exercises at home is more effective than medicine at getting out a painful crick in the neck, a new study shows. “It’s good news for patients that there’s something they can do themselves,” says Gert Bronfort, vice president of research at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minn., and the study’s lead author.

I am particularly happy that the neck retraction exercise described in the article is part of the StrongPosture® protocols.

>>Also am  proud that starting this quarter students at Northwestern Health Sciences University can take PosturePractice Online to learn the StrongPosture® as an elective.

DATAPOINT: The longterm trend is towards self-reliance in healthcare.
SPW OBSERVATION:  Teach people to move differently and help themselves

May 2012 be a great year for all of us building posture consciousness and training posture control.
