"Can You Feel Your Body...?"

Can you imagine someone giving a commencement speech and asking this question? I say, it's about time! Leave it to Paul Hawken to realize what students really need to hear. Earlier this month, he gave this deeply illuminating & embodied address to the graduates at the University of Portland. Click here to read Paul's speech.

Running Tights Claim to Reduce Knee Torsion

Opedix claims their evidenced based apparel reduces the load on the knee by 6%. Additionally their website boilerplate states "clinically tested products that promote healthy joint alignment." The studies were conducted by the Steadman Hawkins Sports Medicine Foundation in Vail, Co.

The idea is that the reinforced running tights create optimum joint alignment therefore increasing stability & strength while also reducing wear & tear by unloading the knee joint.

Last week the Opedix line and the salesman's claim peaked my interest at Paragon Sports. I'm curious if anyone out there has trained in any of the Opedix gear...? Click here for Opedix website.
