Happy 7 years to The Body Mechanics Physical Therapy!!!! We didn’t get a chance to get a group pic this year- it just didn’t work out with everyone’s schedules. All glory goes to God who has provided and allowed us to continue with one on one treatments despite insurance cuts. We thank all of our TheraFit PT clients and therapy patients for continuing to choose us 💗. We love you all and truly want the best for YOU!

Have you ever wondered why some runners effortlessly glide through their runs, looking completely at ease, while others struggle to catch their breath and fight fatigue with every step?

The secret might not be in how hard they run, but how smart they approach each session.

Running isn't just about logging miles or pushing yourself until exhaustion. It's about understanding your body, mastering your breathing, and building strength to sustain a steady pace longer. One of the most overlooked aspects of efficient running is the power of rhythmic breathing.

Synchronizing your breath with your steps like inhaling every two strides and exhaling every two strides not only conserves energy but also prevents side stitches and fatigue. And guess what?

The best runners swear by this technique, claiming it helps them maintain momentum even during the toughest moments of their run.

Another secret lies in running economy the efficiency of your running form. Small tweaks in your posture, like relaxing your shoulders, leaning slightly forward from your ankles (not your waist!), and taking shorter, quicker steps can drastically improve your endurance and speed without extra effort.

But here’s a hidden gem that separates average runners from exceptional ones: strength training. Incorporating strength work just twice a week can dramatically enhance your running performance, reduce your risk of injury, and make those tough hills and late miles feel easier.

Picked beautiful pineapple 🍍 from our garden right. Home grown tastes a million times better than stores and barely any core so no need to decore.

Healthy gut, healthy you. More and more of these neurological diseases are finding gut dysbiosis.

In a groundbreaking study, scientists have pinpointed two specific gut bacteria that may play a direct role in triggering multiple sclerosis (MS) — a finding that could pave the way for new treatments or even prevention strategies.

👥 Researchers at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich studied 81 identical twin pairs — where one twin had MS and the other did not — and uncovered striking differences in their gut microbiomes.

🚨 The suspects?

Eisenbergiella tayi and Lachnoclostridium — bacteria found in much higher levels in the twins with MS. When introduced into mice, these microbes caused MS-like symptoms.

💡 It’s the most compelling evidence yet connecting gut health to MS. By manipulating the microbiome, we may be able to halt or slow the progression of this autoimmune disease.

The gut-brain axis just became even more critical to understanding neurological health.

The Women’s Health Workshop was very informative, interesting and we had lots of giggles 🤭. The presenters are extremely knowledgeable and the class was nicely organized. I had lots of fun and would definitely take a class from these lovely lady’s again💗

Photo of the year! Me coming through the finish line first but Kim was actually faster- she started later.
