Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck concert
March 12, 2010 by Jay
I attended the Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck concert at MSG last month. They rocked the house. Clapton started off with a bluesy acoustic set and then went into an eclectic set on the electric guitar.
Couldn’t help but notice his ever changing taste in eye wear. He wore large roundish plastic frames. Previously when I had seen him perform, he wore metal rimless frames. This gives us a chance to keep up with latest trends and fashions. Thanks “old slow hand”.
Not just another NYC physical therapist!

Yesterday,while doing my martial arts workout, I injured my leg. In addition to heading straight to the emergency room for immediate attention, I contacted Chris Johnson my amazing Physical Therapist. He helped rehab my torn rotator cuff a few years ago. He did an amazing job. His advice and knowledge of sports related injuries is priceless.
Get Certified in CPR
March 10, 2010 by Jay
A few years ago, a customer came into my eyeglass store – and promptly passed out. We called 911. Turns out he had triple by-pass surgery the very next day. To this day, he credits us for helping to save his life.That experience changed me and what I feel a health care professional should be equipped to handle.

Debrillators in stores can save lives.
Last year I became certified in CPR and the use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator). At Pildes Optical, I now have a defibrillator in the store and I hope I never have to use it. But if I need to, I will know what to do.
You too can become certified in this training. I was trained and certified by Core Medical Systems. Click on the link and take the first step. Someone’s life may depend on it.
