Advanced Motion Physical Therapy

Simple stretches like Child’s Pose, Legs-Up-the-Wall, or a slow Seated Forward Fold help release tension, calm the nervous system, and signal to your body that it’s time to rest.

Yoga before bed can:
✅ Lower stress and cortisol levels
✅ Reduce muscle tension
✅ Improve breathing and heart rate
✅ Help you fall asleep faster & sleep deeper

You don’t need a long session—just 10–15 minutes of mindful movement can make a world of difference.

Try it tonight: dim the lights, breathe deeply, and move slowly. Your body (and mind) will thank you.

Every rep, every stretch, every tiny improvement counts.

In physical therapy, we don’t chase perfection—we celebrate progress.
👏 The first time you stand without pain.
👏 That extra degree of motion.
👏 One more step without the limp.

Healing isn’t linear, and it’s not about getting it “perfect.”
It’s about showing up, doing the work, and trusting the process.
You’re further than you were yesterday—and that’s something to be proud of. 💪

Garden Smart: Kneel, Lift & Carry Safely

Gardening is a great way to stay active, but it can be tough on your body if you’re not careful. Whether you’re planting, weeding, or hauling supplies, keeping proper form in mind can help prevent aches, pains, and injuries.

Kneeling Safely
Whenever possible, kneel instead of bending to do prolonged tasks. This helps reduce strain on your lower back.
• Use a kneeling pad to protect your knees and stay comfortable longer.
• As you work, hinge at the hips and keep your lower back straight and neutral—this protects your spine and helps avoid fatigue.

Lifting & Carrying the Right Way
Lifting bags of soil, tools, or plants? Take a moment to do it right:
• Bend at the knees, not your waist, and keep your back straight.
• Align your shoulders, hips, and knees square to the object before lifting.
• Use a wheelbarrow or cart for heavier loads—it’s worth the effort!
• Keep items close to your body and directly in front of you. The further away an object is, the more strain it puts on your lower back.

A little body awareness goes a long way in the garden. Work smart, stay safe, and enjoy the season pain-free!

Spring is the perfect time to get your hands in the dirt and freshen up those flower beds—but before you start digging, take a moment to protect your body!

Here are a few simple tips to prevent injuries while working in the garden:
• Avoid twisting motions when digging. Twisting puts unnecessary strain on your back and can lead to pulled muscles or worse.
• Stay square to your work area. Keep your feet, hips, and shoulders aligned with the spot you’re digging. This helps maintain balance and reduces the risk of awkward movements.
• Move your whole body rather than just reaching or twisting. Take those extra steps to reposition yourself, even if it takes a bit more time—it’s worth it!
• Line up your body. Always aim to keep your shoulders, hips, and knees pointed in the same direction. This alignment keeps your joints and spine in a safer, more natural position.

Gardening should be enjoyable and rewarding—not painful. A little mindfulness goes a long way in keeping you healthy and able to enjoy the season ahead.

Happy digging!

Gardening is more than just a peaceful pastime—it’s a surprisingly effective form of physical activity. From digging and planting to weeding and watering, these repetitive motions engage multiple muscle groups, boost flexibility, and can even improve heart health. Many gardeners find that regular time spent outdoors not only strengthens the body but also contributes to overall well-being.

However, like any physical activity, gardening does come with its risks. Without proper technique or awareness, it’s easy to strain muscles, develop repetitive stress injuries, or experience back pain. Bending awkwardly, lifting heavy bags of soil, or spending too long in one position can take a toll over time.

The good news? A few simple precautions can keep you safe while you enjoy all the physical benefits that come with tending your garden. In upcoming posts, we’ll cover essential tips to help you garden smarter—not harder—so you can nurture your plants and your body at the same time!
