Welcome Mark's Daily Apple Readers!
This blog is basically about using a brain centered approach to improve physical performance and reduce pain. It is frequently assumed that weakness, lack of coordination, pain, and poor flexibility can only be addressed by changing the structure of the body. However, the brain and central nervous system have far more control over these qualities than most people would imagine. I think that for most people, most of their potential for positive change resides in the brain, not their body.
Here is a list of some of the best posts on this blog, arranged by topic.
