We have a new face in the office! 😊

Say HI to Leslie! 👋🏻

She will be here in the mornings on MWF. She is still learning the ropes, but she has been a great addition to our office family!

LOOK CLOSELY 👀

Top Photo: This is the scan of a 40-year old triathlete’s leg muscles (gray shaded area).

Now compare that to the bottom photos.

Your body will build and repair based on the stresses placed on it. In other words, exercise and activity is critical to maintaining health of our muscles and bones as we age. Without it, your body ages much faster!

Remember to add weight-bearing activities to your weekly routine: running, weightlifting, sports, etc and add a weight vest if you’re walking.

Most of you know that I have been working out at Orangetheory for the past 5 years. It’s the only program that has held me stay consistent and accountable.

Like you, I need coaching/motivation.

Like you, I’m lazy.

Like you, I get hurt and experience setbacks too.

The past month I’ve suffered from a stress fracture in my foot, tendinitis in my knee, and a muscle strain in my hip. Despite it all , I still went to class and modified my routine.

Yesterday was the the first day I returned to running and it felt GOOD!

So find the thing that keeps you motivated. And realize that any progress is progress that is moving you in the right direction! Make your health a priority! 💪🏼🔥🤩

Have a wonderful weekend!

Who's ready to kick it up a notch?! 🏋️‍♀️

This is not a joke! We have helped coach several older individuals in starting and/or increasing their weight-training program to improve their functional health.

Just 2-3 sessions of resistance exercises can increase muscle strength, which is critical in preventing falls and maintaining mobility. 💪🏼

Strength is the #1 indicator for longevity in older folks. Please keep lifting!

FREEDOM isn’t about doing what we want…it’s the opportunity to do what is RIGHT.

It’s been 249 years since we gained independence from a king and formed a country that welcomed all.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

And one day away from a long weekend!

We will be closed tomorrow and Saturday for the Independence Day 🇺🇸 holiday, but we will see you all back on Monday 7/7!

Enjoy the weekend! 😎

Unfortunately, working in front of a computer is the #1 cause of symptoms that I encounter at my office.

The solution isn't just doing more exercises to alleviate the pain. The solution is watching your sitting posture and taking hourly breaks to prevent the pain from re-occurring.

Just because you don’t hurt now doesn’t mean you aren’t causing stress to your body.

Watch your ergonomics and manage your body's stress levels through exercise and periodic chiropractic treatments.

CARDIO = improved heart health = good cardiovascular function can extend YEARS to your lifespan 🏃‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🏊🏼‍♀️

WEIGHTLIFTING = increased muscle tone and strength = more muscle in our older years can improve the quality of life as we age 🏋️‍♀️💪🏼

STRETCHING = maintained flexibility and functionality = keeping our bodies limber reduces our risk of injury ❤️‍🩹

If you want to stay HEALTHY and FIT, combine all 3 to maximize your quality of life. 😊 One is not better than the other!

She’s 8 years old now and still visiting me! She now asks to put a glove on when she comes in and follows me around the treatment table!

This little girl has been coming to see me since she was in her mommy’s belly and when she was a newborn!

And now she says she’s “practicing to be like me”! 🥰

Well, I’d say she’s doing a pretty good job!

Yes, I utilize the foam roller at home to stretch out my back too….just like I recommend to all of you.

It’s a great time to bond with babies and pets, as you can see below 👇🏼.

My cat, Bentley, loves to climb on me whenever he gets a chance. He’s my little workout buddy and extra resistance! 💪🏼

We celebrated a birthday yesterday! 🎂

Wishing Washi a beautiful and successful year ahead! 💫

UPDATE: Washi will be starting a 3.5 year chiropractic school program in August, so we will miss her here! ⚕️
