I saw a quote that said, ‘Train for retirement like you save your money for retirement.’ 💭

It really stuck with me. If we put in the work to take care of our bodies when we’re younger or in our middle years, we set ourselves up to enjoy the things we love later in life. Movement, strength, and mobility don’t just happen—they’re an investment in our future joy.

At Summus, we help you build that foundation now, so retirement isn’t just about resting… it’s about living fully.

What a privilege and honor it is to hike a 14er with my Dad!

My dad came to me earlier this year saying that he wanted to do a 14er. He moved here are few years ago and decided this was a goal of his. So, to hike Quandary, he began training and hiking at least weekly.

We organized a trip to Breck and did this together! While hiking with him, I kept thinking about the example he is setting.

Here he is, in his 7th decade of life, climbing about 14,000 feet and a great pace. THIS. IS. THE. GOAL. Being able to do things AND do hard things if you want to as you age.

I want to move and to be comfortable and strong in my body so that I too can climb a 14er with Siobhan. And hopefully in the near future, Siobhan, my dad, and myself can all hike one together.

And this is what prevention, rehab, strengthening, training, and putting yourself first with physical activity is all about. It's about proving to yourself you can do hard things and then having the opportunity to share it with someone you care about.

What is YOUR why for moving?

What is YOUR why for staying strong?

If you realize you need help along the way, then Summus is here for you-just reach out and we can help you.

September is National Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month

📣This is a friendly reminder to have your pap smear completed every 3-5 years and more frequently if you have multiple sexual partners and not using protection!

For clarification, protection and contraception are different things:

• Protection, means protecting against STIs in which a physical barrier is in place. This means, a condom (either male condom or female condom).

• Contraception, means prevention of pregnancy. Preventative methods include oral contraceptive (the pill), IUD, Nexplanon, the Depo shot, and condoms!

It's important to know the difference, as not all contraceptive methods protect against STIs.

"I thought surgery was my only option..." 💭

Meet Emily — after eight years of struggling with pelvic floor issues, she was finally diagnosed and referred to Summus Rehabilitation. By the time she walked through our doors, she felt frustrated, isolated, and convinced that surgery was her only path forward.

But together, we built a personalized plan of care:
✅ Targeted exercises tailored to her needs
✅ Ongoing support and adjustments as she progressed
✅ Reassurance that her symptoms were more common than she realized
✅ A safe and effective way to avoid surgery altogether

"Isha and Monica really listened to me. They created a program that actually worked for my body and gave me hope again."

Every story is unique, but Emily’s journey shows what’s possible with the right care, education, and support. You don’t have to live with discomfort or rush into surgery.

💙 Ready to start your own success story? We’re here for you.

🌳 We brought pelvic health to the park! Yesterday, Summus in the Park took over Sloan’s Lake.

✨ What happened:
• Monica and Isha connected with the community in a relaxed setting
• We shared valuable info about pelvic floor health for ALL bodies
• Neighbors came together to learn, laugh, and enjoy the outdoors

Pelvic health isn’t just for new moms—it’s for everyone. From pain and leakage to simply wanting to better understand your body, we were proud to create a space that made pelvic health less awkward and more accessible.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the lake. 💙
