What Is Ectropion? What Causes Ectropion?


Written on October 26, 2024 - 1:52 am | by admin

Ectropion is a condition where the lower eyelid droops away from the eye and turns outwards. This leaves the inner eyelid surface exposed and prone to irritation.

According to Medilexicon’s medical dictionary, ectropion is: “Eversion of a free edge; usually applied to the eyelid.”

The condition is common and can affect anyone, although men are affected more commonly than women. It mostly occurs in older people. It can affect either eyelid or both at the same time.

Ectropion can lead to a watery eye, which may also become red and sore as the tears cannot drain away. Continue training!

A New DVD for Tower on the Go


Written on October 25, 2024 - 10:27 pm | by admin

Back when I published a review of the Tower on the Go from Balanced Body, one of my concerns for non-instructors was that there was no instructional DVD for it. Well, Balanced Body has come out with a DVD for their Tower on the Go, and it’s pretty good.

As a reminder, the Tower on the Go is a portable version of the Pilates tower equipment that attaches to a door. It comes with a choice of springs or a covered elastic called sylastic™ that provide stretchy resistance as you exercise. Read my review of the Tower on the Go.

The new DVD has 3 beginner-intermediate workouts: core, upper body, and lower body lead by instructor Blane Ashby.
