Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy holiday!

12/18/2025

As the seasons shift, our routines often shift too. Cooler mornings and shorter days can make it harder to stay consistent with movement—but fall is actually a great time to check in with what your body needs.

One simple strategy I use this time of year: mini HIIT sessions.

These short bursts of movement are quick, energizing, and easy to fit into your day—no full workout required.

A few ideas to try:
 👉🏻Walking stairs at a faster pace 👉🏻10 push-ups once or twice a day 👉🏻Air squats 👉🏻High-knee marching 👉🏻Jumping jacks

Just 30–60 seconds at a time can boost circulation, improve energy, and help you stay consistent when the weather isn’t cooperating.
Movement doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective—small, intentional efforts add up.

I recently read an article on bone-building exercises for preventing osteoporosis, and two recommendations stood out:

* Jumping 100 times a day
* Jumping off the bottom step of a stair, followed by another jump

They’re simple, quick, and great for bone density, so I’m adding them to my own winter routine. If you try them, start with a comfortable number and increase gradually.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

In the midst of all that turkey and stuffing, don’t forget to take a moment to give thanks for all that was good this year. Even the smallest things count!

I’m so thankful for each of my clients and the work I get to do in helping you move forward each day.

Here’s your not-so-subtle reminder to take care of that pain that you keep complaining about.

Give me a call at 330-212-7800 and let’s make a plan!

Rory plays quarterback and has had his share of injuries throughout his high school career. 🏈

When he badly sprained his ankle during the pre-season, we quickly jumped on it, treating it fairly aggressively with Softwave to ensure he could start his season strong.

He was able to play his first game of the season without complaints of any ankle pain!

Unfortunately, Rory also fractured his clavicle during the first game.

But, in true Rory-form, he came back halfway through the season and led the Bulldogs to a strong finish.

Thanks for being a great role model and example of determination!

Annie is a senior player who came to see me halfway through her season because she sprained her ankle.

She was determined to get back on the court and didn’t let her sprained ankle keep her from leading Copley to finish their season strong.

To get her ankle back in playing condition, we did a combination of manual lymph drainage to control the swelling, range of motion exercises, Softwave, strengthening, and balance exercises.

Annie will continue her volleyball career as a setter for Ursuline.

🏆 Our Boys' Cross Country team are State Champions! Congrats to all the athletes and coaches on this incredible achievement! This is the Bulldogs’ 11th state championship in Boys Cross Country!

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!
