Animals have healing power ✨
•
According to Research Director Dr. Rollin McCraty, “Coherence is the state when the heart, mind, and emotions are in energetic alignment and cooperation. It is a state that builds resilience.”
•
The heart's energy is said to reach about three feet outside of the physical body and can be detected in another person sitting nearby via an electrocardiogram (ECG). The electromagnetic field projected by the horse’s heart is FIVE times larger than the human one. The horse’s electromagnetic field is also stronger than ours and can actually directly influence our own heart rhythm 🎶
•
A horse’s heart pattern is extremely coherent, indicating a system that recovers and adjusts to stressful situations very well
•
Have you felt more relaxed and balanced around horses or other animals?

💥Headaches??💥
•
•
If you have headaches and you’ve been in a car accident (and didn’t get QUALITY PT), work a desk job, drive a lot, or are involved in cycling/biking, rowing or anything where you have to extend your neck to look up...
•
•..your headaches may be coming from you neck
•
•
Up to 20% of patients presenting with severe chronic headaches may be referred pain from the neck- Gehret et al 2010
•
•
Swipe to see the referral pattern of headaches caused by neck pain/dysfunction from Physiopedia

•
Do you get headaches? Where do you get them?

THIS WEEKEND’s workout 🏋🏻‍♀️
•
•
I’ve been shifting into making my workouts functional and/or sport focused instead of repetitive lifting and moving
•
•
This weekend I took over 12,000 steps and climbed about 61 flights of stairs when my family and I harvested grapes over the weekend!
•
•
Not only did we get to be part of the winemaking process, but we also got to get outside, socialize from a safe distance, and connect to Mother Earth 🌍
•
•
One of the cool things about this type of exercise is that it’s extremely functional and dynamic which is difficult to reproduce in a gym/at home with weights
•
•
What do you like to do to stay active outside of traditional “working out”?!

Do you think about how you’re standing throughout the day?

If you’re having low back pain with standing, you definitely SHOULD!!

Try this exercise. Roll your pelvis back to flatten your low back. Try to hold it. This is the position you should be standing in!! If you’re having a hard time, then it’s time to see a PT to figure out why!

What is Online Physical Therapy 🤷🏻‍♀️
•
•
It’s more than JUST exercising in front of a computer screen 😹
•
•
In a lot of ways, going virtual has really given the power back to the patient 💥
•
•
I can’t tell you how many days I’ve been double/triple booked in the clinic, only getting to spend 10 minutes with a patient AND working 30 minutes into my lunch.. and guess what that other 30 minutes of lunch is for... paperwork!
•
•
Working online has allowed me the quality time to spend with my patients without restriction
•
•
My guidance isn’t dictated by what the insurance companies reimburse, how much time I have before my next double booked slot, or even what Western medicine has decided to label you
•
•
My consultations allow for specific guidance on your limitations, proven lifestyle changes, validated exercises and techniques, and a flood of positivity during your hardest times ✨
•
•
Now is the time to start your journey!

Check out my fresh loaf of sourdough bread!
•
📢 Sound on to hear the crust
•
Naturally fermented bread is good for your gut health, unless of course you have a sensitivity/intolerance to gluten! It’s also best to have fresh bread because there are no preservatives, and it just tastes better 😆

Where do you go grocery shopping??
•
•
My husband and I drive 20 minutes to go grocery shopping at a store with wider variety of produce and meat/fish
•
•
Seriously though, what stores have dragonfruit, cherimoya, and baby mangoes!
•
•
Where our food comes from is so important, and something we’ve seemed to lose touch with since large corporate farms took over the game from small, local farms
•
•
Our local farmer’s market has a great selection too!
•
•
Farmer’s market prices might be slightly higher than the local grocery store, but I believe that where you spend your money can sometimes hold more value than a vote!
•
•
We used to shop at the 99 cent store for groceries, but now that we’re fortunate enough to choose where we shop, we try to choose more variety and local as much as possible

Chanting as medicine??

I've taken an interest in researching alternative avenues to reduce inflammation in the body. As someone with Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis, I wanted to explore different treatments other than Steroid creams, Meloxicam, opioids, and anti-depressants. A year ago a friend recommended Turmeric and....
