We appreciate the input and advice given by our members to our members. The Discussion Board is open to all Portland Fit and Vancouver Fit members to use as a resource for information.

Moving forward the "Medical Forum" will be monitored by the Portland Fit Medical Staff of Clearwater Chiropractic and Massage. We would like the questions posted in this forum related to medical issues to be answered by the Medical Staff. Though they may not reply immediately (cause they are working), they will reply as soon as they have that opportunity. Once one of the Staff has replied and the thread has multiple responses we'll move it into the "General Forum" then it becomes a general discussion.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns... celia@portlandfit.com

Thanks for clarifying the intention of this forum, Celia. I would like to add that we created the medical Forum as an additional way to communicate with our medical team, but a couple of clarifications:

There is no substitute to talking with your doctor our our medical team in person. We encourage you to visit your doctor at the earliest hint of injury or problem. You may also elect to talk with our medical team on Saturdays or Sundays.

We don't want folks not affiliated with the Portland Fit Medical Staff answering medical questions in this forum. Unfortunately, there are liability issues and it's impossible to certify the opinions and input of unaffiliated people on this board. If you have questions about answers you find here, please feel free to contact our medical team directly.

If a question goes unanswered, please PM the admins of the board or the medical staff. The medical team tries to answer posts in a timely manner, but please allow a few days. They are volunteers and are doing their best to help us out!

Lastly, a big thanks to all our Medical Staff for all their help. Portland Fit and Vancouver Fit are much better off due to their participation!
