We are very excited to be opening back up, but we will do so cautiously and in the safest way possible. Some things we are doing in the office are:
-Alternating rooms to allow more time for cleaning between clients
-Sanitizing/wiping down everything including tables, seats, door handles, coat hangers, etc.
-Promoting social distancing by minimizing traffic in the office/waiting room
-Requiring all staff and clients to wear masks during appointments

We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable when coming in, so we hope this will ease some minds. However, if you do not feel comfortable coming in just yet, DO NOT feel obligated to. We will happily reschedule your appointment for a later date.

If you have any questions/concerns don't hesitate to give us a call at 248-433-3000 or feel free to send us a quick message through facebook!

Thank you all for your patience and support during these unprecedented times. We appreciate everyone greatly and are looking forward to getting to see everyone's faces, at least the part that the masks don't cover, very soon!

Effective immediately, per order of governor Whitmer, our office will be temporarily closed until April 13th. All appointments will be rescheduled for a future date.
Feel free to call if you have any questions and we will look forward to see you as soon as possible.
Stay healthy everyone!

THE EXPLANATION OF THE OLD SHOES POST:

If you keep your old shoes for yard work, i know it may sound like a good use for old footwear that may have a little life left in them, but grass stained tennis shoes aren't a fashion statement, nor a good recycling program! Most of your old shoes have been broken down and don't support your feet, show obvious wear patterns, and cause your footing to be less than optimal. Why spend hours doing yard work on uneven surfaces in uneven shoes? Take a look at the back of your old shoes- do they lean outward? Are the soles worn out in one area, yet look perfect in another? If so, send those old favorites to the curb, and get good outdoor shoes/boots for all the heavy lifting.

If you don't keep your old shoes for yard work, that is great! Outdoor work shoes or boots should be sturdy and provide secure support for the rigorous outdoor demands. Whether you're kicking a shovel, pushing a lawnmower, or planting tulips- your feet won't hurt by the end of the day.

THE EXPLANATION OF THE FIRING GLUTES POST:

If you've been told that your glutes aren't firing, you're not alone. Many personal trainers, physical therapists, pilates instructors, etc. often tell people their "glutes aren't firing"-causing your poor exercise performance, hip and low back pain, and movement problems. You might begin to wonder what mysterious buttock disorder is plaguing society, paralyzing glutes everywhere? Is it something in your french fries?! The fact is, your glutes are firing. They may be weak or under utilized based on your activity levels or postural position. Yes, posture makes a difference. The muscles you use in and around your pelvis are turned on or off based on postural position and compensation. Pelvic tilt, rotation, and/or misalignment can cause pain, adaptions, and "unusual" muscle function. It can change the way you walk, move and affect performance. But don't worry, your glutes will be fine- just keep moving and put down the fries!

If your glutes always fire, that is excellent! Keep up what you're doing, all the exercise is paying off! Keep them strong but flexible and they won't let you down. Nothing looks worse than glutes that let you down.😉

As the temperatures drop, make sure you don't! Keep an eye out for those pesky ice patches.

If you do happen to fall victim to ice (pun intended) and suffer from an acute injury make sure you remember the acronym:

I (ice) C (compression) E (elevation)

Have a safe week everyone!
