Let’s be honest… nobody wants to wear full shoes in the heat 😅

Sandals are the go-to—but not all sandals are created equal.

The biggest mistake? Wearing sandals without a heel strap.

They force your foot to grip with every step, which can change your walking pattern and lead to discomfort or pain over time.

If you’re going to wear sandals, make sure they actually support your feet 👣

🎥 Check out this quick video from Dr. Maira to see what to look for!

Low back or SI joint pain lately?

You might not realize how often you’re pivoting throughout the day 👀

One of the biggest culprits?
The kitchen.

Loading dishes.
Cooking.
Cleaning.

Instead of constantly twisting through your spine, try this:

👉 Keep your feet planted
👉 Widen your stance

A wider base limits excessive rotation in your low back and shifts the movement to your hips where it belongs.

Small adjustment. Big difference.

If you're still struggling with back pain, give us a ring.

Neck pain on one side?

Before you massage the painful spot… look at your shoulders.

Most people have one shoulder sitting lower than the other.
And usually, the lower shoulder is on the same side as the neck pain.

That side is already overstretched.
Massaging it can actually make it worse.

Instead, try this:

👉 Gently lower the higher shoulder.

When you do that, the lower shoulder naturally rises into better alignment — reducing strain on your neck.

Sometimes the fix isn’t more pressure.
It’s better positioning.

If you're still struggling in pain, give us a ring.

Inner knee pain while walking?

It might not actually be your knee.

I had a patient do 2 simple things:
• March in place
• Cross her legs while seated

Those small tests revealed a tight sartorius muscle — running from the hip to the inside of the knee.

After targeted manual work, we relieved 90% of her pain.

Sometimes the issue isn’t where you feel it.

Try this quick test:

Sit down and cross one leg over the other. Now switch sides. 👀

Notice how one knee sits higher than the other? That’s not just flexibility — it’s a sign of asymmetry in your hips or pelvis.

Over time, that imbalance can cause pain in your back, hips, or knees.

🩵 Restoring balance isn’t about stretching harder — it’s about recalibrating how your body moves.

Ever notice one eyebrow sits higher than the other — or that you can see one ear more in the mirror? 👀

That subtle difference means your neck and upper spine may be out of alignment. These small asymmetries can lead to neck pain, tension headaches, and even dizziness over time.

💡 When your body is symmetrical, movement becomes effortless — and pain starts to fade.

🩵 Stop chasing pain. Start restoring balance.

From joint replacements to a renewed, active life — this is what healing from the inside out looks like. 🙌

At 73, this patient now moves, feels, and lives better than they did years ago — all through consistent manual therapy and a focus on restoring balance.

🩵 It’s never too late to feel young again.

Ever notice one arm touches your hip more than the other when you’re standing? 👀

That small difference means your hips are out of alignment. One side is working overtime just to keep you upright — which can lead to back, hip, or knee pain over time.

💡 These subtle asymmetries are often the real cause behind chronic pain that never fully goes away.

🩵 At Manual Physical Therapy, we help your body regain balance — so pain can finally fade for good.

Love sitting with your legs crossed? You’re not alone — but your back might not love it as much. 😬

Crossing your legs twists your pelvis and puts extra stretch on your S-I joint, which can cause back or hip pain over time.

🩵 The fix: keep your feet flat on the floor or cross only at the ankles to keep your spine happy and aligned.

Your X-ray might show arthritis, a disc bulge, or “wear and tear” — but that doesn’t always explain your pain.

If it did, why does your pain get better after a few steps or when you change position? 🤔

That’s because most pain comes from instability and asymmetry, not just what’s visible on a scan.

At Manual Physical Therapy, we look beyond the image to find the real source of pain — and help your body restore balance naturally.

Sleeping without a pillow between your knees might feel natural — but it’s actually one of the most common ways people throw their back out of alignment. 😴

When your top leg falls down onto the bed, it twists your hips and puts extra stress on your S-I joint — the foundation of your spine.

🩵 The fix: place a thick pillow between your knees and ankles to keep your hips level and your back supported all night long.
