  • Physical Therapy Highlight: Dizziness

    KIMBERLY HANSEN PT DPT, Intermountain Health, St. James Hospital|Jun 19, 2024

    How can you describe your dizziness symptoms? Something so burdensome and so destructive that it can affect your daily function. It may be a feeling of spinning, tilting, or being off balance. Many people describe it as vertigo. With vertigo, most people feel better after not moving their heads.

When there is no movement associated, systems are not communicating appropriately. Causes of dizziness: Benign paroxysmal...

  • To Help Baby Animals Survive, Leave Them Alone

    MORGAN E. JACOBSEN, Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks|Jun 19, 2024

    They look so cute and helpless, but your efforts to help them could harm the animal and reduce its chances of survival. It’s important to understand that wildlife care for their young much differently than humans. One strategy that some species, particularly those typically preyed upon by other animals (deer, rabbits, birds), is to distance themselves from their young for many hours at a time. This helps to keep predators away from their young. For example, fawns are born without a scent, and it is safer for them if their mother, who has a s...

We are entering the “empty nest” years these days and just became first-time grandparents in the fall. Our youngest daughter has graduated from High School, and transitions are happening around us.
