Happy Labor Day weekend! As summer ends there is a tendency to ease up on the activity and exercise thats easy to do in the summer. The longer days and nice weather make outdoor activity easier and more fun. But brisk walks,bike riding,golf, volleyball can all still be done in the nice cool fall weather. Exercise decreases blood pressure,keeps joint mobile, release endorphns and prevents inflammatory diseases like diabetes. Keep moving into the fall-your body will thank you

Summer may be winding down but there are still plenty of hours of sunlight every day. Being out in the sun stimulates Vitamin D production which is essential for bone health and immune regulation.
It also increases serotonin which can boost your mood and combat anxiety and depression. serotonin also helps regulate our sleep rhythms so it can improve sleep quality.
Make sure you get a daily dose of sun especially if you work inside all day

Pain isn’t always the beginning — or the end — of the story. Most dysfunction starts way before symptoms appear.

Here’s how it really happens:
⠀
1️⃣ You get injured (even slightly — like banging your knee)
2️⃣ You compensate to avoid pain
3️⃣ Your movement shifts subtly
4️⃣ Your brain rewires your proprioception
5️⃣ You “heal” — but the imbalance stays
6️⃣ Over time, you build poor movement patterns
7️⃣ Inflammation and wear-and-tear accumulate
8️⃣ Eventually, you cross the pain threshold
⠀
🧠 Repetition is what causes real damage — not just the injury itself.
⠀
If your movement is off, you’re already on the path to pain, even if you feel fine today.
⠀
🛠️ Fixing the root cause means correcting movement, not just masking symptoms.
