Over the past decade, research is showing that women have a higher tendency to be diagnosed with a chronic pain than men. So does that mean women are more prone to pain or is it that women just seem to seek out help when they have it?

The IDEA World Fitness Convention is one of the largest conventions for fitness in North America. Literally 5000 fitness professionals, some new to the industry, some who have been here for over 25 years come together to learn what's happening in fitness and stay on the cutting edge.

I am headed to the west coast for a 3 week MELT-O-Rama. First stop, Los Angeles, California for the revered IDEA World Convention 2011 to present a Premier Workshop called MELT: Chronic Pattern Pain Series – The Unstable Pelvis.
