How To Use This Index:

1. Hello! I am The Fitness Fixer™ - Dr. Jolie Bookspan - Making Medicine and Fitness Healthy. The introduction box below tells a bit of all that my readers and I accomplished in the years that I ran my column The Fitness Fixer. Following the introduction box is an alphabetical index of some of the nearly 800 original Fitness Fixer™ articles.

2. My Fitness Fixer column ran from 2006 to 2010 on Healthline.com. When it ended, the host company Healthline removed my articles and replaced them with their own articles that sell products. They left the original links to my articles which now may direct to their site and their articles, not mine. I found two sites that have some of my Fitness Fixer articles archived:

Blogspot, which was the upload engine for articles, still has some articles. I have been finding the links and putting them on this page. Healthline removed most of my images and movies. Not all the articles appear as intended, and links to other Fitness Fixers seem to go back to non-working Healthline pages or their own articles.

"The WayBack Machine" is an Internet project (web.archive.org) that takes snapshots of Internet pages to archive for posterity. Some of my original articles are there, some even in original format. Links to my other Fitness Fixers articles on the Wayback site seem to work, along with the "labels" feature. Note that Wayback links to my web site here will go to out-of-date archived pages. For my web site, go directly to DrBookspan.com.

Healthline's site still may have a few of my articles, but cut them in half, removed my photos, movies, and all the reader questions with my answers, and in many cases, replaced my work with their own content. If you find any of my Fitness Fixers on that site, understand that they are not as intended, or may not even be my articles. Are you a major health information source or site who wants to continue this important work? Let me know: TheFitnessFixer@DrBookspan.com

 

3. Beside the Blogspot and Wayback links, the best thing to use is my large free web site (Dr. Bookspan.com), come to my classes for direct learning, maybe a private appointment, or on-line consult, get my books, and see my Twitter page for announcements, short fun info, and links to more -

About The Fitness Fixer
  • My methods fix injuries and training. Harvard School of Medicine clinicians named me The St. Jude of the Joints." 
  • The first article from August 2006 - Welcome to the Fitness Fixer - explained why not all exercise is healthy and how to change that.

Top Training Methods

  • For exercisers, trainers, beginners to top athletes, and their health care providers.

Fix Fitness, Stop Pain

  • This is the place to stop pain and get your life back. I don't "limit the patient to limit the pain."

there's the story of your obstinate survival of old beliefs never bottomed on the earth,
