Join Us at the Eye and Vision Care of Santa Barbara
5th Annual Golf Tournament
Glen Annie Golf Course
8 am | Saturday, May 14, 2016
While FIT's mission is Preventing Tomorrow's Injuries Today™, we like to support other health related causes as well. This year the tournament will raise funds for the California Project to Cure Blindness at UCSB, where they are developing novel stem cell therapies for blindness!
Advanced age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of irreversible blindness and visual impairment in the world. As many as 11 million people in the United States have some form of age-related macular degeneration. This number is expected to double to nearly 22 million by 2050. Closer to home, our 14 year old daughter, Meghan, has Stargardts disease, a juvenile form of macular degeneration and as of today, incurable. Her vision plummeted from normal to legally blind in just 6 months. And, while she is happy and doing well, her only hope of reversing her vision loss and regaining acuity is supporting research and cutting edge medicine. We join millions of people across the U.S. who are definitely motivated to find a cure!
If you can't attend but would like to support this important research Just go to stemcell.ucsb.edu Click on "Donate Online" In the drop down menu select "Center for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering"

What Muscles Wish You Knew About Reversing Years of Damage
Athletes stretch for top performance in their sports. This type of stretching is dynamic, meaning everything moves - the arms, legs, back and head. Athletes doing dynamic stretching move through the different stretches, but don't hold them for more than a few seconds.

Chances are you're seated right now, hunched over a keyboard. hunched-over-keyboardIf you've spent most or all of your workday in this position, you are a candidate for fatigue and soreness starting at the neck and working down the back. Those are the postural muscles, and you should listen to them.
Postural muscles are responsible for maintaining an upright posture. These muscles tend to become tight rather easily, which can lead to pain. You can probably feel the postural muscles working as you read this. They are doing the heavy lifting of the head, the neck and the spine.
