Donate if you have some extra!

Community Update ❤️

The food drive at Tony’s Butcher Shop — with the help of all of you — has been absolutely overwhelming in the best way. So far, we estimate we’ve been able to feed over 150 families, and we have just as many, if not more, reaching out who still need help. And we’re going to keep going.

I want to give a massive shout-out to Grayslake Rehabilitation for coming in with an amazingly generous donation that will allow us to give away hundreds of pounds of meat. That support means the world — and it means a lot of families are going to have real meals on the table this week.

Every family that comes in doesn’t need to prove anything.
No forms.
No qualifications.
No embarrassing hoops to jump through.

I don’t believe people should ever have to beg to feed their family.

Every family that comes in is going home with:
• Beef
• Chicken
• Pork
• Potatoes
• Pasta
• Corn
• Eggs
• And a bunch of great pantry items and sides
so they can cook a real meal, not just try to piece something together.

I’ll be honest — there was a moment in the beginning where I thought:
“Is this risky? We’re a small business. Can we really do this?”

But I trusted my gut.
And I trusted all of you.

And I wasn’t wrong.

This community showed up in ways I couldn’t have even imagined. It’s actually beautiful. In spite of everything happening in the world — the division, the arguing, the stress, the fear — people chose to help each other.

People chose kindness.

If you still need help, message me.
If you’d like to help, we are still accepting:
• Boxed sides (rice, pasta, potatoes, etc.)
• Bread
• Canned goods
• Or monetary donations to purchase more meat

No one in our community should go hungry.
Not on our watch.

Thank you all. Truly.
Let’s keep going. ❤️

Reasons Pelvic Floor PT is a MUST after having a baby
(no matter whether 2 months or 12 yrs post partum!)

Restore before baby posture and muscle function (addressing areas like abdominals, upper back muscles, chest muscles, lower back muscles, buttocks)

Improve / restore good deep breathing abilities

Optimize child care and feeding positioning and body mechanics

Improve and learn self treatment for scar tissue mobility

Learn how to improve bladder control to avoid peeing too frequently during the day or nighttime.

Have your pelvic floor muscles assessed (if desired) to learn how to self treat sore or tight muscles to prevent pain with in*******se, prolonged sitting/standing, exercise, or any other activities of daily living that pelvic pain may limit you from completing.

Learn how to retrain and strengthen the pelvic floor and surrounding hip muscles to prevent urinary leakage with jumping, bending, coughing, sneezing, laughing

GLR’s pelvic floor therapists recommend 4-6 visits post partum, but even one can make a huge difference! Visits can be attended with child(ren) and can be in person or telehealth if needed.

March is endometriosis awareness month!

Did you know that approximately 1 in 10 women have endometriosis, but unfortunately for many women it takes an average of 7 years to get a diagnosis? Endometriosis is a condition that can cause pain and disruption in daily life, but pelvic floor physical therapy can play a crucial role in managing symptoms like pelvic/abdominal pain, pain during in*******se, and bladder or bowel issues that often accompany endometriosis.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is not only helpful for reducing endometriosis related pain, but can also address any type of pelvic pain in women AND men. This can include, but is not limited to, tailbone pain, pain with bowel movements or while urinating, IBS related pain, pelvic pain during pregnancy, SI joint pain, deep groin/hip pain, and pain in the v***a, p***s, testicles, or sc***um. Physical therapy can help by:

Improving muscle flexibility to reduce pain

Implementing manual therapy techniques to reduce tension

Educating on strategies for self-management of your pain

And more depending on your specific symptoms!

Call today, 847-223-8001, to begin treatment and start reducing your pain and improving your quality of life!
