Next week at the we are doing balance assessments! Do you practice your balance?

You can try when you are brushing your teeth, cooking or any other time when you are standing in front of a counter.

If balancing on one foot is not in the cards for you, don't worry. Start with your feet together and hold for 10 seconds. From there you can progress to put one foot in front of the other, then lift one heel, then progress to one foot.

Are ear infections are a common occurrence at your house? Last week I thought we were on the brink. Both kids had ear pain with trouble hearing. We just got back from Florida and I knew a combination of salt water in the ears, an airplane ride and some serious allergy related drainage was the perfect storm! I scheduled them an appointment for CST, Craniosacral Therapy to see if Ashley could move the bones which allowed the fluid to drain before we ended up at MedExpress. It worked!

does Craniosacral therapy. This is a light touch therapy that moved the bones and allows the fluid in the ears and the whole craniosacral rhythm to reset, drain and heal.

Craniosacral therapy has many benefits but the top 5 uses are:
1. Chronic Pain
2. Fibromyalgia
3. Headaches
4. Concussion
5. TMJ

and EAR INFECTIONS!! Praise Jesus. . . and Ashley!

If you're worried about what this looks like with a toddler, baby or little kid with a short attention span holding still for an hour, fear not! Ashley follows them around while they play, roll around, or have screen time! Ha!

Shoes, Rugs and other clutter are among the top tripping hazards for people. Things you can do? Removed these every day hazards, be aware of changes in elevation like steps, curbs, potholes, etc. and keep moving! Join silver sneakers or another exercise class, go for walks regularly and be sure to wear properly fitting shoes (not your worn out, too loose, and half falling off your heal dirty slippers!) Thanks to everyone who came out to our Balance Screens yesterday. We enjoyed getting to know everyone and we always love to see people actively doing things to reduce their risk of falls!

This is a myth busting post!

Myth #1: “Physical therapy will hurt.”

Truth: Physical therapy should challenge you — not harm you. A good therapist works at your pace and adjusts treatments to your comfort level. The goal is to reduce pain, improve movement, and build confidence, not push you beyond what your body can handle.

Myth #2: “I need a doctor’s referral first.”

Truth: In many cases, you can start physical therapy without waiting for a referral. This means you can get help sooner and begin addressing pain or mobility issues before they get worse.

Myth #3: “Physical therapy is only for injuries or surgery recovery.”

Truth: PT helps with much more than recovery! People come to physical therapy for chronic pain, balance issues, headaches, posture concerns, sports performance, and even preventative care to avoid future problems.

The Bottom Line

Physical therapy is about helping you live your life with less pain and more freedom of movement — whether you’re recovering, preventing injury, or simply wanting to feel better in your body.
