Good luck to Atticus and the Woodridge Cross Country team as they head to States this weekend!

Atticus is treated on a maintenance program during his season to keep him healthy, stretched out, and strong.

He continues to amaze me with how fast he can run and consistently leads the pack for the boys’ team.

Go Bulldogs!

The above is an example of a dynamic stretch—one of my favorite warm-up tools for getting the body ready to move.

To refresh your memory:

Dynamic stretching = controlled movement through a full range of motion (like walking lunges). It increases blood flow, activates muscles, and prepares your body for action.
 Static stretching = holding a position (for example, a quad or hamstring stretch) before or after activity. These stretches improve flexibility and help muscles return to their resting length.

➡️ Use dynamic stretches before your workout or sport to get moving and minimize injury risk. Use static stretches afterwards (or on rest days) to help with flexibility and recovery.

If you’d like personalized guidance on which stretches are best for your specific goals or injuries, I’d love to help—give me a call at 330-212-7800 to set up a session.

One of the best ways to keep yourself in good physical condition is also one of my favorites—stretching! If you’ve been with me long enough, you’ll know this is one of the treatment modalities I recommend the most.

But did you know there are different types of stretching?

Dynamic stretching is done before a workout or activity—think, a runner jogging in place before starting a run. These movements get your muscles warmed up before you begin the activity.

Static stretching can be done before or after a workout—think of grabbing your foot and pulling it up behind you after a run. This type of stretching can bring muscles back to their pre-exercise length.

➡️ If you need guidance on what stretches are best for an injury or preventative care, call me at 330-212-7800. I’d love to develop a treatment plan just for you!

At Moving Forward, we’re always exploring new ways to help you move, heal, and feel your best—and one of our favorite tools for that is red light therapy.

It’s a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and boost energy. Clients often tell me they feel more relaxed, less stiff, and more energized after their sessions.

Some of the top benefits?
 ➡️ Less pain and stiffness ➡️ Faster recovery ➡️ Better sleep and mood ➡️ Healthier skin and circulation

It’s an easy, natural way to support your body’s healing process—and it just feels good.

Curious if red light therapy could help you? Call 330-212-7800 or click the link in our bio to book a session!

🍂 Fall sports are here—which means more practices, games, and sometimes…injuries.

Common issues we see this season: ankle sprains, Achilles tendinitis, shin splints, Sever’s disease, and turf toe.

✅ With the right care and prevention—stretching, supportive footwear, proper rest, and therapies like SoftWave—athletes can recover well and stay strong all season long.

Here’s to healthy, injury-free play! ⚽🏈🏐

🍂 School is starting, and schedules are going to fill up quickly, so let’s talk for a minute about balance.

Balance doesn’t just mean staying steady on your feet—it also means finding steadiness in life.

I learned this years ago when I was juggling work, family, and everything in between. A gentle reminder from a co-worker helped me realize how important it was to step back and rethink my work/life balance.

Sometimes balance doesn’t come from big changes. It might look like:  ✨ Logging off at the end of the workday ✨ Taking a 10-minute walk break ✨ Saying “no” when your plate is too full ✨ Making time for something that brings you joy

What helps you find balance in your day? ⬇️

🚶🏼‍♀️Swap out one 10-minute scrolling session for a 10-minute walk.

🚫📱 Step away from your screen, leave your phone behind if you feel safe (or at least tuck it in a pocket), and head outside for some fresh air.

This small shift gives your body the movement it craves—especially if you’re sitting most of the day—and offers your mind a much-needed reset.

Want to live to 100? You might be surprised by what matters most.

Years ago, I took a course on longevity that looked at all the usual suspects—diet, exercise, genetics, lifestyle habits. At the end, we had to guess the #1 factor linked to reaching 100.

My guess? A positive attitude. (Still a great one!) But the actual answer? Social connection.

People who live the longest tend to stay socially engaged—whether it’s with family, close friends, or their local community. It doesn’t have to mean big gatherings, either. One of my 94-year-old patients (who looks like she’s in her 70s!) makes it a point to scroll through her contacts every few weeks and send a few thoughtful messages. Just a quick “thinking of you” can go a long way.

Real connection still matters—for your health, your mood, and your longevity.
