It’s finally time to unpack the most colourful advice in Get Up. I have been waiting a long time to unpack this baby, and wouldn’t you know, this advice is from no other, than my husband, Dr. Gordon Arbess. “Colourful”, because it’s direct. To the point. Provocative. It hits home. However, the reason why I […]
I’m a huge fan of physiotherapy – and my goodness – for such a great reason! Picture the scene. The alarm clock goes off. My eyes open and dart around. I want to reach over to my nightstand and turn it off, but I am unable to. Why? A few days prior, I began to […]
