Wellness Wednesday with Accel Physical Therapy 🌿

A strong, coordinated core supports posture, balance, and protects your back from injury. When these muscles are weak or out of sync, even simple movements can feel harder and strain your body.

👉 Try adding planks, bird dogs, or bridges to your routine — and remember, even sitting tall and engaging your core throughout the day helps build strength!

🐾 Pet of the Week: Melly! 🐾

Meet Melly, our golden retriever, sprinting down a leaf-lined trail with her ears flying and pure joy on her face! 🍂🐕 She’s the definition of fall energy — loving every stride in the crisp, cool air.

Trail hiking or jogging — just like Melly enjoys — offers unique benefits compared to paved paths:

🌿 Improved balance & stability from uneven terrain
💪 Stronger ankles, hips, and core as your body adapts to each step
🧠 Better mental focus from constantly reading the ground
🌤️ And of course, the mood boost from being out in nature!

Get outside and soak in the beauty of the season — the crisp air, colorful leaves, and that unmistakable autumn scent. 🍂

Did you know that smell can directly trigger relaxation in the brain? The scent of fallen leaves, wood smoke, or fresh apple cider can instantly calm the body and mind. 🍁

So, take a break, step outdoors, breathe deeply, and nature. 🌬️

👉 Tell us — what’s your favorite fall smell?

Exercise Spotlight: Scissor Kicks 🔥

Build lower abdominal strength and core control with this advanced move!

👉 How to do it:
1️⃣ Lie flat on your back with your arms down at your sides.
2️⃣ Press your lower back firmly into the mat—no light should sneak underneath!
3️⃣ Lift both legs a few inches off the ground to start.
4️⃣ Raise one leg up toward the ceiling while the other lowers toward the floor, but never drop lower than 6 inches above the ground.
5️⃣ Alternate legs in a smooth, controlled motion, keeping your core tight throughout.

⚠️ Note: This is not a beginner exercise. If you feel any pain or discomfort in your back, stop immediately and try a gentler core variation.

💪🏼 Know Your Core: The Layers of Your Abdominal Muscles!

Your “core” is more than just abs — it’s a team of muscles working together to stabilize, support, and move your body. Here’s a quick look from superficial (outer) to deep (inner) layers:

1️⃣ Re**us Abdominis – The “six-pack” muscle that flexes your spine.
2️⃣ External Obliques – Run diagonally; help rotate and side-bend your trunk.
3️⃣ Internal Obliques – Lie just beneath the externals, adding rotation and stability.
4️⃣ Transversus Abdominis – The deepest layer, wrapping around like a corset to protect your spine and organs.

A strong core supports better posture, balance, and injury prevention!
