PART 2/2❗️Movement, time in nature, creativity, and social connection are powerful tools for supporting both physical and mental well-being.

At the Orthopaedic Foundation, we believe that promoting active lifestyles means supporting the whole person, and encouraging habits that strengthen both the body and mind.

Sometimes improving our health starts with something as simple as a 10-minute walk, a stretch break, or a moment of gratitude.

POST 1/2❗️

Small Habits. Big Impact on Stress.

• Taking a short walk
• Spending time outdoors
• Practicing gratitude
• Stretching your body
• Listening to music
• Creating art
• Connecting with animals
• Using calming scents like lavender

Thank you Dr. Petruzzo for leading a section on Anesthesia, IV’s, intubating and spinal injections. We followed that up with work on the thoracic spine. And we finished the day with a Craniotomy.
