Ever heard of Heart Rate Variability (HRV)? It’s not how fast your heart beats, it is about the tiny changes between beats that can tell a huge story about your stress levels and recovery. Interestingly, changes in HRV may also relate to pain. This article from U.S. News explains what HRV is and why it can be helpful for some folks to keep an eye on.

Here’s everything you need to know about the health metric.

More evidence for "movement snacks" throughout the day! Taking small breaks to do a little bit of activity frequently during the day can make a BIG difference in our overall health.

People who sit for long, uninterrupted periods of time may increase their risk of cardiovascular disease, even if they do the recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise....

Tired of waiting on hold, dealing with insurance, and bouncing between providers? So are we. At Good Land Physical Therapy & Wellness, we strive to make care simple.

You’ll have direct access to Sarah and Lauren via email, text or phone, one-on-one treatment every visit, and a calm, quiet clinic tailored to your needs. No rushed appointments. No middlemen. You can even schedule online (!!).

We also get you in as quickly as possible, typically within a day or two, which often means you need fewer visits (cost savings!) to get back to your life.

Navigating health care is tough. It’s hard to reach your providers and get the health you need. Busy clinics are often loud and clinicians are trying to see too many patients at one time. We get you in quickly and provide one-on-one care to help you feel better fast.

Sarah shares some easy ways to incorporate a little movement into your day!

We all know that seeing your primary care physician and dentist for regular check ups is important for maintaining good health. Did you know that PTs can also provide annual check ups? If you’re focused on long-term health, strength, and independence, consider making PT part of your annual wellness check-in.

Here's why:
1. We monitor your strength and mobility so small changes don’t turn into big problems.
2. We spot subtle shifts in how you move before pain or injury sets in.
3. We design exercise plans just for your goals — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
4. We help prevent injuries by addressing daily habits and movement patterns.
5. It’s proactive care. Catching issues early can save you time, pain, and money.

Many people find relief in symptoms using kinesiotape...but how does this stretchy tape work? The New York Times recently did a nice deep dive into the science behind this tool, explaining how kinesiotape may help people move better with less pain as they move through the rehab process.

The stretchy strips, known as kinesiology tape, may help you move better. But not for the reasons sports medicine experts once thought.
