OCTOBER IS PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH!! 🎉🎉💪🏽💪🏽🎉🎉

We are extremely excited to celebrate and promote our profession! You may have noticed that physical therapists are often very passionate about what they do….because IT WORKS. We know it works because we practice what we preach. It’s a lifestyle, it’s a mindset. It’s creating environments and small changes within that affect our health and quality of life. We are passionate because WE CARE. We love what we do and we love empowering others to better their health and teaching them skills that are valuable lifelong. Did you know Physical Therapy is unique in that it has a positive impact on EVERY system in the body…not just the musculoskeletal system? How cool is that?! No wonder Physical Therapists love October! ♥️
For the month of October, we will highlight our amazing providers and invaluable staff that contribute immensely to making BODY IN BALANCE what we strive for it to be everyday, for our patients and community.

💪🏽Did you know that the state of our nervous system can impact our healing process?

💪🏽Our Sympathetic Nervous System regulates our "fight or flight" response, while our Parasympathetic Nervous System governs our "rest and digest" response.

💪🏽Both systems play crucial roles in activating, conserving, shutting down, protecting, and engaging our body's complex systems on a daily basis.

💪🏽If these systems are consistently unbalanced, with one dominating the other, it can affect our physical well-being, energy levels, digestion, rest, sleep patterns, healing processes, focus, pain perception, and more. This, in turn, can impact our daily lives.

💪🏽Now, consider the implications if our body is attempting to recover from an injury or surgery, or if we are going into surgery with a wired, stressed and anxious system. This can significantly compromise the effectiveness of even the best treatment intervention.

💪🏽By treating patients as whole individuals rather than focusing solely on the affected body part, we can evaluate these systems and implement interventions to optimize treatment outcomes.

💪🏽Our bodies are truly remarkable. Let's cultivate an environment conducive to optimal healing.

Mindfulness Monday ♥️ ⛰️
Start the week off right by taking a minute.
Initiate diaphragmatic breathing: inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Incorporate positive body affirmations for added benefit.
This technique effectively calms the sympathetic nervous system and nourishes the body. Happy Monday! 💪🏽
