Happy Wednesday! We are going to shake things up this week and not talk about anything wellness related! As some of our more observant friends have noticed, we have a new face in the office! Help us welcome Paige to our team to help up front at checkout and to co-manage things with Corliss! Paige will be taking over for Hannah and is learning her new role very quickly! Unfortunately, Hannah is leaving us to stay at home with her girls and homeschool her eldest. Hannah's last day has quickly approached and this Friday will be the last day you get to see her smiling face ( We do give permission to all who want to give her a hard time for leaving us).

Paige is originally from Winnebago, Illinois, but now lives here in Mt Pleasant and graduated from IW. She has a cute little dog named Athena and when not at the office loves to hang out with her friends! Paige has caught on quick to everything we offer here at the office and will be a great addition to the team! So if you hear a new voice on the phone, or a new face up front, help us welcome Paige to the team!

Happy Wellness Thursday! As a lot of people know we have a new laser in the office for therapy! We've been having a lot of success with it so far and are excited to keep using it! The laser is a Class IV therapeutic laser that works to reduce pain, inflammation and helps to accelerate the recovery process! It delievers specific red and near infrared wave lengths of light to assist the bodies natrual abilities to reduce inflammation! It works to dilate vessels allowing more oxygenation to tissues and cellular energy to stimulate healing!
The lasers can be used for a wide variety of injuries and conditions ranging from acute to the most chronic of pain. We've had success with knees, shoulders, backs, ribs, and so much more. There is no down time and minimal risk. It's a proven non-drug, holistic solution to help the body heal and restore function! Treatments are quick (typically less than 10 minutes) and virtually painless, while most feel a slight warming affect, others may not feel anything.

If you have any questions, ask away in the comments or feel free to call and chat! We'd love to talk about how our new laser can assist in your treatment plan!

Happy Wellness Wednesday! Sorry we've forgotten and fell off track for a few weeks! But we are jumping right back on the wellness train with HYDRATION!

With it being as hot as it is, make sure to drink plenty of water and fluids. Water makes up to 60% of the body weight and plays a crucial role in the body. Water helps organs like the brain, lungs, kidneys, heart, skin and also helps regulate body temperature which is important in Iowa Summers.

Tips for staying hydrated include setting a daily water goal and not waiting until the end of the day to drink it all. Drink water before and during meals. Caffiene and being physically active or outside will require an increase in water consumption.
If water isn't your thing, try adding different flavor packets or fruit like cucumbers, lemons or watermelon to your water to give it a different taste!

It's important to keep water with you during these really hot days so we aren't waiting until we are thirsty to start drinking.

We will be doing another give away at the end of the month. To be entered you have to comment on all wellness wednesday tips for the month. Winner will be announced August 29th! This week comment on your favorite tips to get water in! Dr. Angie's is carrying her Owala waterbottle around everywhere she goes and making sure she gets her one bottle in before switching to her coffee.

It's Wellness Wednesday and we remembered!
This week we are going to try and boost our productivity! To do this try to manage your time and energy on the tasks at hand and minimize distractions! Making a list is a good way to see what needs to get done and helps to prioritize tasks. Turning off your phone (or silencing) and creating a seperate workspace are great ways to limit distractions! Try to find tasks that you know you can accomplish and check off and take that momentum to less-exciting tasks.

Let us know some strategies you use to stay productive!

No giveaway this week! But both Abbie S and Brenda N win for last week! Congratulations! You both had good answers for the joke but it goes

It's Wednesday, so you know what that means! One quick reminder! Our office will be closed this Friday, June 13th! Normal hours resume on Monday, June 16th!

This time we are going to focus on washing our hands! It may seem silly but washing our hands is very important! It helps to remove dirt and germs! This can help reduce the risk of spreading diseases and infections!

To wash your hands, use soap and water and scrub for at least 20 seconds (or sing the alphabet). Make sure to get the backs of your hands, between the fingers, and under the nails.

It's important to wash your hands after using the restroom, before eating or touching food, after coughing or sneezing, or handling pets! Hand sanitizer can be a good alternative in a pinch but good ol' soap and water is preferred!

This week we will have a drawing for 1 winner on June 18th, when I post the next wellness Wednesday! Like, comment, share for one entry each! An idea for the comments is to tell us your favorite brand of handsoap or your favorite scent, etc.

This Wellness Wednesday we are going to focus on smiling and laughing! Finding a reason to smile or laugh can be hard some days but it comes with great health benefits! Things like reducing stress, improving mood, boosting the immune system, and even potential for pain relief! These positive effects are linked to the release of endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, which are all natural mood boosters!
If your struggling to find a reason to smile, even a fake smile can trick the brain into feeling more positive, which cascades into more positive thoughts and feelings. This week lets try to find reasons to smile or laugh, and ways to help others smile and laugh more!

In the comments, tell us things that make you smile or laugh! Pictures are always welcome too!

No giveaway this week! Keep reading weekly to be ready for the next giveaway!
