Conditions and Treatments

Report

Often, when you go to a doctor, you don't know what's wrong with you. Sometimes you do know. Each person is unique with unique problems, but here is a list of some conditions I see frequently and how treatment can help with them. Attention deficit disorder is epidemic in our society and is an organic (physiological) as well as social phenomenon.

Philosophy

Report

Kierkegaard said that the aim of life is to reveal itself as the unity of the universal and the particular. I take these words to heart and they center my practice. In every meeting with a client, I am called to connect a general theoretical knowledge of human beings with a particular client's practical challenge, and this makes my life's work joyful and creative.

For Practitioners

Report

Dr. Russell's most important work is teaching - in his practice, mentorship of touch and movement professionals, and group classes. He is a movement coach for ordinary life and dance, and he teaches yoga anatomy, bodywork techniques, injury prevention/resilience/self-care, posture and gait, and dance improvisation.

Posture Classes

Report

After work, your body's too tired for physical activities like cooking a nice dinner or exercising. Your posture gets worse when you're challenged or emotionally down, which makes a tough situation worse. Your body is "dragging you down". You force yourself to sit or stand up straight for a half hour, feeling more like a suit of armor than a human.
