| Why did Dr. Stewart invent the Lap-Stop? |
| An important focus of Dr. Stewart’s practice of healing arts is prevention. To this extent he is deeply committed. Treating hundreds of patients with RSI’s and many other heath conditions over the years has made him more determined to focus on prevention. “Educating my patients on the health benefits of practicing prevention has been paramount within my practice,” said Dr. Stewart. Dr. Stewart has also witnessed and treated several Neuro-Muscular conditions due to prolonged use of a computer throughout his eighteen years as a chiropractor and nutritionist. "This lead me to invent and develop the Lap-Stop, which will help to alleviate this long standing problem in our ever increasing technical world." |
