    But still, the awareness about the eyeglasses and factors
    like strength of the eyeglasses and other factors related to the technicalities.
    For some people, the material that the frames are made from is completely
    irrelevant while others swear by a certain feel or texture for their glasses.
    However, I do know some people who have experienced drastic results
    in a very short time, but please remember every individual is different.

    In this and future “Toolbox of Touch” columns, I wish to re-examine
    some basic CS assumptions, propose support, critical observations and practical
    treatment options. One of the most untreated causes of lower back
    pain is dehydration, both local and regional.
    Using this back exercise technique, the first thing that a physical therapist does is to look
    for the patient.
