After learning about you and your health, as well as address any questions you may have, Dr. Greg Thomas will give you a full examination supplemented by two x-rays to pinpoint where your pain propagates. Your treatment session will begin with a 10-minute rolling massage that will help you understand why the rolling pin in your kitchen always looks so relaxed. Then, using his hands (or if he's feeling mischievous, his gorilla gloves), Dr. Thomas will locate tight, taut areas in your soft tissues and apply a precise, gentle pressure to them.

My Gym nurtures physical, cognitive, and emotional development in children while focusing on the specific needs of each age group. By making fitness fun, My Gym fights childhood obesity while simultaneously helping munchkins develop independence and social skills.

Better Body's Fitness Center is never exclusive when it comes to exercise—the trainers believe that anyone from any background can pursue a healthier lifestyle at any age. The gym's studio pulses with team energy during group classes such as Core Strength, Zumba, and yoga that accommodate all experience levels, as well as Silver Sneakers training for seniors. On the workout floor, cardio machines and strength equipment—from brands such as Cybex, Hammer Strength, and Life Fitness—vie with free weights for muscles' attention by disguising themselves as unopenable jelly jars.

Designed by renowned architect David Pfaff, the 27-hole championship golf course at Quail Chase Golf Club splits into three par-36 courses that wind through the area's lush scotch pine, maple, oak, and dogwood trees. Limber up stiff clubs at the course’s practice facilities, which prep ungainly irons for an 18-hole run with bermuda-grass tees, a USGA practice putting green, and a reserved area for rehearsing pre-shot ritual baths. Golfers can strike through two of the club's three 9-hole courses, manipulating orbs past the angular detours of dogleg holes and around four water hazards during approximately 4.5 hours of play. Concealed cart paths obscure scenery-marring vehicles and help to keep play flowing by restricting fairway victory laps to every other shot.

His airy, spacious studio is geared toward students of all skill sets.

Jazzercise is 60 minutes of cardio, strength training, and stretching that incorporates moves from hip-hop, yoga, Pilates, jazz dance, kickboxing, and resistance training with handheld weights.
