Earlier this summer, Krista Lodge, a physical therapist at Thrivera Therapy, finished training in dry needling! 🎉This is a unique service we are proud to offer our clients. Congrats on completing the training, Krista!

Dry needling aims to target palpable trigger points within otherwise healthy muscle. When these points are stimulated, they prompt the muscle to release its tension.

If you are interested in learning more about this specialized service or other therapy services, call (319) 859-9343. We are excited to help you thrive! 🌱

Today’s Design Your Life seminar, part of our free, monthly series at Western Home Communities, featured Dr. Colin Deford, DO, from Curana, our in-house clinic serving both residents and employees.

Dr. Deford shared valuable insights on medication management for older adults and emphasized the importance of knowing what medications you're taking. His key advice? The more medications you take, the more potential side effects to watch for. Instead, he encourages maximizing your health through diet, exercise, socialization, and therapy - all of which can help reduce the need for medications.

That’s exactly what our Thrivera Lifestyle program is designed to do: proactively support your wellbeing as you age. Reach out today to learn how we can help you thrive!

Design Your Life sessions are monthly, free, and open to the public. Visit www.thrivera.com/events to register for the next one!

Thank you, Stephanie Muller, for the insightful presentation on organizing and decluttering!

One tip Stephanie discussed is called the reverse hanger trick. When reorganizing your closet, hang all your clothes with the hangers facing the opposite direction. As you wear and rehang items, place them back the normal way. Over time, you’ll clearly see which clothes you haven’t worn and are ready to be donated!

Interested in learning more practical tips? Keep an eye out for our next THRIVE5 event on our website! www.thrivera.com/events
