Think rest is the key to recovery? Not always. 🕊️
When you’re in pain, complete rest might feel right — but gentle, guided movement actually helps you heal faster.

At Determination Physical Therapy, we focus on safe, evidence-based exercises that keep your muscles active, improve circulation, and rebuild strength without increasing pain.

Because healing isn’t about staying still — it’s about moving the right way. 💪

Your core does so much more than you think—it’s the foundation of your posture, balance, and everyday movement. Strengthening it doesn’t require fancy equipment or long workouts.

Try this simple activation tip:
✨ Stand tall, gently pull your belly button toward your spine, and hold for 5–10 seconds.
✨ Keep breathing naturally.
✨ Repeat a few times a day.

These small, consistent moments of movement add up—helping you build strength, reduce back pain, and move with greater stability every day.

Stay consistent, stay strong, and keep moving with purpose!
