Duly Health and Care

Are you running the Chicago Marathon this weekend or a Turkey Trot later this year? This is Elizabeth Rodgers, PT, DPT, OCS, a physical therapist here at Duly Health and Care, and she's taking you through some pre-run warm-up stretches to help keep you injury-free during your runs.

Inch Worm Walk Out - Walk out into a high plank and twist each arm to the sky to warm up your body.

Dynamic Knee to Chest - As you move forward, bring each knee to your chest, allowing your muscles to move through their full range of motion.

Dynamic Heel to Buttock - Bring your heel towards your buttock, feeling a nice stretch in the front of your thigh, while moving through the full range of motion.

Dynamic Hamstring Kick Out - Kick your leg out and reach for the opposite toes, feeling a stretch along your hamstrings, warming them up before your run.

Don't forget to cool down after your run, too! If you experience any pain along the way, be sure to reach out to a Duly physical therapist near you: https://bit.ly/3YzEy96

What if your kitchen could be part of your care plan?

Our Culinary Medicine program is helping patients do just that — by teaching them how to prepare simple, nourishing meals that support better health and make managing chronic conditions, such as diabetes, easier every day.

Through hands-on cooking classes and practical nutrition guidance, Mary and our Culinary Medicine team help patients feel confident in using food as a tool for lasting wellness.

Diabetes can lead to serious complications, including heart disease, vision loss, kidney disease, nerve damage, and stroke, if untreated.

Meet Dr. Brett Hurliman, pediatrician at Duly's Tinley Park and Lockport clinics. 👋 For him, pediatrics is all about building trusting relationships with children and their families. “Being a pediatrician allows for the unique experience of caring for both a patient and their family. I want to help parents find the joy in raising their children and watch kids grow right alongside them.”

Dr. Hurliman explains that no two days look the same — from well-child visits and sports physicals to treating colds and flu in the winter, he values the variety his work brings. Patience and empathy are the skills he finds most critical, helping put children at ease and reassuring parents during each visit. He encourages anyone considering pediatrics to reflect on their “why,” as the field requires adaptability, problem-solving, and a lot of heart, but offers meaningful and rewarding relationships in return.

What he enjoys most about Duly is the collaborative, patient-centered approach that allows him to focus on what matters most: his patients and their families. 💙If you're looking for a trusted pediatrician, schedule an appointment with Dr. Hurliman and our pediatrics team today: https://bit.ly/4nKVDrR

For April, medicine is more than a career - it’s a calling. “I chose this field because of my profound curiosity about the human body and my commitment to delivering thorough, patient-centered care,” she shares.

Her days are full and fast-paced - caring for patients with complex conditions, coordinating with her team, and ensuring every detail of care is managed with precision. What grounds her most is patience: listening deeply, meeting patients where they are, and guiding them through moments of fear, hope, and resilience.
