This can make it harder for rehab and education to “stick.”

✅ Learning about pain helps reduce fear
✅ Gradual movement builds confidence
✅ Simple focus drills sharpen attention

Do your feet get tired or feel unsteady? 🦶

Your feet have small “core” muscles that help support your ankles, knees, and even hips. If those muscles get weak, the whole chain can feel it. Here’s how to strengthen them:

✅ Short-foot drills – gently pull the ball of your foot toward your heel to “shorten” your foot without curling your toes
✅ Toe yoga – practice lifting just your big toe, then just your smaller toes
✅ Balance work – try standing on one leg
✅ Supportive shoes – give your feet a strong base

Stronger feet = better support for your whole body. If your feet tire out quickly, we can build a foot-strength plan for you. Call today to schedule your appointment! 📞

Shoulder pain isn’t always just about your shoulder!

A study found that people with shoulder pain often have:
🔹 Less neck mobility, leading to greater disability
🔹 Worse outcomes when pain lasts longer, especially in older patients

👉 Takeaway: Treating shoulder pain works best when we look at your neck too. Addressing both can lead to better results, which is what we do!
