health&healing

Perhaps we will never find a therapy or pharmacologic substance that offers benefit to so many parts and functions of the body equal to the simple magic of movement. In this issue, area practitioners reflect on the importance of exercise to all aspects of our health and well-being—inside and out, from our skin to our psyche. They also explore “movement” from their perspective as healers. Compounded medications help relieve pain so people can move. Skilled care managers assist clients to navigate the challenges of aging as they move through their later years. Strategic tools move children’s developing jaws into healthy positions. Plastic surgeons’ intricate, precise movements of body tissues transform bodies. Enjoy these many reflections on the power of movement to support health and healing.
