about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

im in cheerleading and i do tumble alot. my wrists hurt sometimes after i tumble and my friend said that like when you stretch them out you dont bend them you just like rub them? idn but im not sure how i can stretch my wrists or my neck and back?

Hi,
Rubbing your wrists might help get the circulation going but it will do little to strengthen the muscles or prevent injury.

I found a site that has pictures of hand and wrist exercises...and if you look under the menu
Courses/Exercises there are some for the wrist and back too. Perhaps if you do these before you practice and on the days that you don't practice it will help.
