It is National Friendship Day! Celebrate the relationships that encourage you and make you smile and laugh even when you might not feel like it.

I have found in my life, there is nothing better than findng that one person , who then becomes your exercise buddy. That bond is strong, It holds each of you accountable for getting your steps in while talking about all things life, whether it is raining, snowing or hotter than hot. Watch this September as we get ready to launch something super cool at the MAX. ... details coming.

But for today.....The MAX would like to say thank you.....we are super duper appreciative of all of our friendships we have made in the past year! Making our workdays brighter and giving us a reason to keep working hard and striving to give you up to date individualized patient first care! No cookie cutter exercise plans here! It is all about you and your needs! And having fun of course.

Thank you friends, whether you have been patients or supporters, may you each have a Happy Day!!

“Whoa, so this is heat and I love it!” – Olaf
Olaf knows all too well how temperatures and humidity can turn you into a puddle of water before you even know it.
The effects of the inability for our bodies to cool, come in many different forms including fatigue, rashes, cramps, exhaustion and heat strokes. Take notice and take care of yourself before a serious heat emergency occurs.

Here are some ideas to love summer, stay active and safe in the extreme heat.

1. Avoid extreme activity if you can between 1 pm to 7 pm. Check out your local heat idex and plan accordingly.

2. The OSHA-NIOSH Heat Safety Tool is a useful resource for planning outdoor work activities based on how hot it feels throughout the day. Featuring real-time heat index and hourly forecasts, specific to your location, as well as occupational safety and health recommendations from OSHA and NIOSH.

2. Consider a water and an electrolyte drink combo to replenish your hydration and minerals lost in sweat. Check sugar content of the electrolyte drinks if that is a concern. Stay away from sugary, caffeinated and alcoholic drinks. An average person needs to drink about three-quarters of a gallon of fluid daily.

3. When outdoors, protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen that says "broad spectrum" or "UVA/UVB protection."

4. Consider exercising inside, streaming is so popular now, exercise routines can be found on social media and apps, that allow you a chance to break out of your normal exercises routine and try something new.

Summer is here to stay awhile longer, MAX Friends. Stay hydrated and cool.

Have a Happy Day!

New Years Eve last year , I said ,”Let’s go look at a building. “ I walked in and overwhelmingly knew….The MAX Therapy Center was about to become a reality. After 26 years of being a PT, a dream I had was about to become a reality in my hometown serving surrounding communities.

Much of 2021 was spent remodeling and preparing to open the doors. An amazing team of therapists and staff soon came together with one vision. Provide Patient Centered Care that we all desire and deserve.

2021 exceeded our wildest visions with the connections we have made with our patients and providers.
Our MAX team agrees, the best part of this adventure has overwhelmingly been….YOU!

We appreciate each of you and look forward to continuing to deliver physical, speech and occupational therapies in an environment that puts your needs first. We are here to help.

Happy New Year!
We look forward to working along side you in 2022.

We are proud to support and highlight Down Syndrome Awareness month. This is the shout out month where communities pull together to highlight children and adults who have met challenges head on and still inspire and influence those along each of their individual journeys. Here is one of a few articles we want to share with you.
The MAX Therapy Center is so lucky to have the opportunity to meet and work beside individuals with Down Syndrome. Each one of our MAX friends inspire us and challenge us to "bring it on" each week. Today we honor you friends!
Here is an article that is just one example of how an individual and his family make impossible possible! Enjoy.

A triathlete who became the first Ironman with Down syndrome will receive a prestigious award from ESPN on national television.

Myth Breaking Monday

Myth: Physical Therapy is ONLY to help people recover from injuries and accidents, post surgery or after an illness.

Although each of these scenarios are true, it is not the only benefit to seeing a physical therapist.

FACT: Integrative Physical Therapy looks at the whole person and identifies root causes. Our treatment sessions are individualized and unique for YOU. Whether your goal is to help prevent injury, reduce pain, or find new ways to promote mobility, health and wellness, Integrative PT set you up for success.

No physician referral needed to be evaluated by a PT. Of course we love to collaborate with your entire healthcare team for a comprehensive experience.

PT can make a difference. We are ready to help you reach your goals!
