Since I’ve been back home in Greenville, I’m running into old friends and meeting lots of new people too! When I meet someone new, they usually ask me what I do. My standard answer is “I’m an acupuncturist by trade, who combines functional medicine, nutrition, and acupuncture to get to the root of people’s problems.” When they hear I do acupuncture in Greenville, their eyes … [Read more...] about TOP ACUPUNCTURE MYTHS WITH UPSTATE SPINE & SPORT

MEYER CENTER: IT'S NOT JUST FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN
Recently I had the opportunity to tour the Meyer Center for Special Children. My plan was to come home and write about everything I learned and share a little background. I can't just do that. Once upon a time, I worked at the Meyer Center. I was employed for ten years. It's impossible not to get personal. The board, staff and (most of all) the children had everything to do … [Read more...] about MEYER CENTER: IT'S NOT JUST FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN
REPURPOSING THE WARM-UP WITH PERFORMANCE PROJECT
Let me begin by saying this. Movement preparation trumps every other movement parameter: variability, intensity, frequency and more. Movement, by nature, is inherently good for the body, but it’s the movements you are NOT prepared for that could result in possible injury or pain. Whether that be prepared for: the load (amount of weight) end range (position of your tissues or … [Read more...] about REPURPOSING THE WARM-UP WITH PERFORMANCE PROJECT
GROWING UP WITH SEEDLINGS
“Best pizza I ever had!” Was the review from my 8 year old brother, Matthew, after tasting a ridiculously large bite of Seedlings' pepperoni and cheese pizza. Seedlings is The Children’s Museum's new and first ever interactive farm-to-table restaurant located on their lower level, that's complete with indoor and outdoor seating along with plenty of fun activities and props for … [Read more...] about GROWING UP WITH SEEDLINGS
A FIRST-TIMER'S GUIDE TO COLLEGE
Have you ever been the youngest in a room? With three little brothers (and at least one of their friends over at all times) this situation is rare for me… until this semester. Now, every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:35 - 10:55am, I am the youngest in the room in my English 101 class at Greenville Technical College, and it’s wonderfully intimidating. I’m learning that success … [Read more...] about A FIRST-TIMER'S GUIDE TO COLLEGE

NEXT HIGH SCHOOL: A STUDENT’S POV
“So what exactly is NEXT High School?” I get this question often. So often in fact, that I have perfected my response to be as involuntary and mechanical as the computers people assume NEXT High Schoolers are obsessed with. The conversation almost inevitably occurs as follows: “NEXT High School is a new charter high school across the street from Wade Hampton High, located … [Read more...] about NEXT HIGH SCHOOL: A STUDENT’S POV
INTRODUCING THE NEXT FOUNDATION CLOSET
Short sleeve button downs. There are few that can pull them off, and my sweet father is not one of them. He recently discovered this (through some gentle prodding on my part), and thus began an extensive fashion consulting, closet cleaning, crap dumping session with the mission to teach Phil fashion. As we stripped my dad’s racks of that blue shirt he has ten of, that bright … [Read more...] about INTRODUCING THE NEXT FOUNDATION CLOSET
