Hot Potato Exercise
https://youtu.be/LCqUISrSNaQ

Looks Like a Game. Trains Like Therapy.
The Hot Potato Exercise enhances:
🔥 Coordination & reaction time
🔥 Grip & shoulder strength
🔥 Core stability
🔥 Cognitive-motor integration
Speed it up and it even becomes light cardio.
Allow trunk rotation if you’re training mobility.
Keep the trunk steady if you’re training spinal stability.
The goal determines the form.
If your balance or coordination feels “off,” that’s not random. It’s measurable.
Schedule a Lifestyle Movement Snapshot and let’s enhance it.

Is Your Foot Fast Enough to Drive Safely?

https://youtu.be/Jpt7YbsfpZ4

One of my clients wants to drive again but worries her foot reaction time isn’t quick enough.
So we tested it.
Using reaction lights on the floor, we measured how fast her foot could respond, just like moving from gas to brake. This helps us:
✅ Measure true response speed
✅ Enhance eye-to-foot coordination
✅ Simulate real driving demands
We also look at strength, accuracy, and endurance so the decision to return to driving is based on skills, not fear.
If you or a family member is unsure about driving safety, objective testing can give clear answers.

The Best Exercise Is Often Real Life

https://youtu.be/Jq1ncKRqIUM

A patient once told me, “I just want to put my hair up again without help.”
That became her therapy.
The most powerful exercise isn’t always a machine or a weight. It’s practicing the exact task you want back—buttoning a shirt, reaching a cabinet, gripping a cup.
Task-specific practice:
✅ Strengthens the right muscles
✅ Enhances coordination
✅ Builds confidence
✅ Makes progress meaningful
If a daily activity has become difficult, that activity can become your program.
👉 At Treasure Coast Physical Therapy and Fitness, we help you move better by practicing what truly matters to YOUR life.

Comfort and Dignity Over Cure

https://youtu.be/ETqUJ61Cz8c

I’m working with a 104-year-old woman whose goal is not long walks.
Her goal is simpler and more important: stand long enough so her caregiver can help her dress after toileting.
That is real-life physical therapy.
When joints are bone-on-bone, the focus becomes managing pain and preserving essential mobility—standing, pivoting, and transferring safely. Even 30 extra seconds of comfortable standing can change quality of life.
Small adjustments, the right equipment, and gentle movement can make daily care safer for everyone.
If you’re caring for someone in this stage of life, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
👉 Treasure Coast Physical Therapy and Fitness can help protect the abilities that matter most.

Assistive Devices = Independence, Not Dependence

https://youtu.be/1PKAjKoxe9c

Many people tell me, “I don’t want my home to look like a hospital.”
I understand that feeling. But assistive devices are not about taking independence away. They are about protecting it.
Grab bars, raised toilet seats, shower chairs, and simple railings can enhance safety, reduce falls, and make everyday tasks possible without another trip to the hospital. These tools help you stay in YOUR home, on YOUR terms.
A few small changes today can prevent a big setback tomorrow.
If you or a loved one is planning to return home and you’re not sure what devices truly help, we can guide you.

🛏️ Which Bed Rail Is Safer

https://youtu.be/7bjmNPG-v2c

Wrestling your mattress in the morning is not a workout.
There are two types of bed rails:
• With legs
• Without legs
If you use an adjustable bed, rails without legs are often the safer option because they move with the bed and don’t create floor hazards.
The right rail = safer mornings.

🦯 2-Wheeled Walker vs 4-Wheeled Rollator

https://youtu.be/gi6jyv0zDeY

Ever feel like your walker is working against you?
Not all walkers are created equal.
The wrong one can actually make you less safe.
A 2-wheeled walker offers more stability indoors.
A 4-wheeled rollator gives freedom outdoors… but only if your balance is ready.
The right device can change your confidence overnight.

Why choose Private Wellness instead of Medicare physical therapy?

https://youtu.be/1A0ZLVSQYBI

It’s one of the most common questions I hear, and it’s a fair one.
Medicare physical therapy is medical care. It’s designed to treat a diagnosis, follow strict rules, and focus on what insurance says is necessary.
What we offer at Treasure Coast Physical Therapy is different.
Our wellness experiences are built around how you actually live your life.
That means we can work on posture habits, balance confidence, breathing patterns, walking style, and recovery rituals without medical red tape.
It also means access to wellness tools Medicare doesn’t cover, including:
Celluma red light facial sessions
Heated crystal mat relaxation
Far infrared wellness experiences
Assisted soft-tissue relaxation
Guided recovery lounge time
No rushed visits.
No diagnosis labels.
No insurance limits.
Just personalized movement coaching and recovery experiences designed to protect how your body moves every day.
Think of Medicare PT as fixing a problem.
Think of concierge wellness as protecting your future.
📞 Call or text 772-485-9447 to learn more.
