  1. Knee pain? Try wearing flip-flops, study suggests

    Booster Shots
    Poor flip-flops. Popular though they are, they've been targets for criticisms of many types -- for their lack of arch support, for their potential tripping hazard, for their inability to protect foot skin from the sun and thus their theoretical......

  2. A bicycle built for you

    SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA roads are full of them -- cyclists shrink-wrapped in colorful Lycra, pedaling custom bicycles that cost more than their first cars. And their numbers are increasing by the day.

  3. When knees can't take any more

    WE count on them to be strong and supportive, flexible and accommodating, willing to go the extra mile even when we load them down more than we should.
    WE count on them to be strong and supportive, flexible and accommodating, willing to go the extra mile even when we load them down more than we should. Our knees. We put them through their paces, so to speak, every day. No wonder that, every now and...

  4. Two Deaths Were a 'Clue That Something's Wrong'

    WAZI, Afghanistan — The Green Berets of ODA 2021 were on high alert as their convoy rumbled down the winding, rutted road that day in March 2003. The team had been tipped that armed men loyal to the notoriously volatile warlord Pacha Khan Zadran lay in wait around the bend.

  5. Supplements for osteoarthritis treatment may offer some relief

    Special to The Times

  7. Cubicle stretches

    If you don't move around nearly enough during the workday, you might need to compensate with these flexibility-enhancing moves. Some require minimal equipment such as dumbbells; others can be done at one's desk or against an unoccupied bit of wall space. Sure, the moves may raise a few eyebrows in the office, but while everyone else is reaching for pain relievers, you'll be sprinting out the door ready for after-hours socializing.

  8. The beasts within

    I've come to love my inner fish. My inner worm, jellyfish and sponge too. And I can tell you exactly when I first recognized this infatuation: in September 2003, the year I was pressed into teaching human anatomy to first-year medical students at the University of Chicago.

  11. Exercises for flexibility will help protect your knees

    Most of us know that a good way to protect our knees is to strengthen the muscle above the knees with simple quad exercises. But, for added support, it's also important to keep your hips and hamstrings flexible. Here's a side-lying stretch that targets your hips and hamstrings.

  12. A yoga stretch for better posture

    Many yoga poses help improve posture if practiced on a regular basis. This move stretches the muscles in the front of the body, which usually are tighter than the muscles in the back of the body. An imbalance in muscular flexibility may contribute to hunched backs and slouched shoulders. If you're not familiar with this exercise, stick with the bent-leg variation to give your body time to adjust safely.
