My Broken, Redeemable Resolution
Each new year is the time for reflection on the past and striving for the future. Gyms are packed, produce is purchased, and people set out with optimism to change their health, attitude, or habits. Resolutions are made and lost within the first couple of weeks (or days) for most people. People have ideas mingled […]
Your Glutes Are Firing. I promise.
We (physical therapists) often get caught in the habit of saying things that might not be totally true all the time. This isn’t because we don’t know what we’re talking about, but more so as a means of communicating to our patients who may not possess the same depth of knowledge regarding the human body. […]
Celebrate National Physical Therapy Month!

Through that summer we struggled through a miscarriage and then were blessed […]

Life has many highs and lows and as individuals we all go through different seasons in life. For many, health and wellness begins as a new year’s resolution. It is a time when people reflect on how far they have strayed from truly taking care of themselves. Searching for the quickest way back to […]
