Hi, hello, good morning (afternoon or evening)! I just wanted to pop in here with a hello and update. We’ve still got weeks left of summer but with August coming quickly I’m feeling the pinch of the transition to school-time routines and fall (my personal favorite season🍂). This summer has been super busy, but also filled with some much needed slow days taking an extra day off here and there with the switch to summertime childcare schedules. I am excited to be getting back to my regular schedule of two days in Findlay and two days in Tiffin starting in September. If you’ve been thinking about reaching out for PT to take care of yourself now is a great time to get it scheduled as the kiddos transition back to school over the next month.
You can feel better in your body, you can cough- laugh-sneeze-jump-etc without leaks, you can heal your ab separation, you can control the urge to have to p*e so you don’t feel like you’re going all. the. time., you can be intimate without having pain, you can get help figuring out that pesky consistent hip or back or pelvic pain, you can prepare for your birth whether vaginal, VBAC or C-section to feel confident and ready, you can heal from your birth and feel confident getting back into exercise and movement, you can, you can, you can! I’d love to help you on your path to understanding your body more and feeling better with any activity you want to participate in. Please feel free to comment below or send a message and we can figure out best next steps for scheduling an evaluation. You can also reach out via phone or email from the information in my bio/website. I cannot wait to work together with you!
Also big shout out to 📷who took this photo and so many great others for a little update for She Blooms PT (how has it been almost 6 years?!)🩷🌸

☀️Mobility Monday☀️

🌀 Mini Mobility Tip: Loosen Up Your Low Back!
Sitting too much? Try this simple move to ease tension and improve mobility in your low back:

Knees-to-Chest Stretch
👉 Lie on your back
👉 Gently pull both knees toward your chest
👉 Hold for 20–30 seconds, breathing deeply
👉 Repeat 2–3 times

This stretch helps decompress your spine and relax tight lower back muscles. Try it morning and night!

✨ Your low back will thank you.

Only booking barefoot massage when you're already hurting?
It’s one of the most common mistakes I see…and it keeps you stuck in the same frustrating cycle of pain ➡️ relief ➡️ pain again. 😩

But here’s the truth:
Barefoot Massage works best when you don’t wait for a flare-up.

✨ Consistent care helps you:
✅ Recover faster
✅ Move with more freedom
✅ Prevent injuries before they start

Like one of my clients said:

“I used to wait until I was in so much pain I could hardly walk. Now I come every 4 weeks and I haven’t had a major flare-up in months.”

So ask yourself:
📅 When’s your next barefoot massage?
If it’s not on the calendar yet, let’s fix that today.

Your body doesn’t just deserve relief, it deserves to feel great before things go wrong.

Call 419-447-1888 to schedule your appointment!!

“I’m so glad I asked about my hands, that felt amazing!”
- A client who didn’t think massage could help them.

A lot of people don’t realize how much tension we hold in our hands…until we work on them.

We type. We text. We grip. We lift.
Your hands are working hard for you all day long, and they deserve care too!

This client almost didn’t mention the nagging ache in his hands because he figured, “What could massage really do?”

The answer? A lot.

Sometimes, the smallest areas bring the biggest relief.
So don’t hesitate to speak up! Your body has a say in the session, and I’m here to listen.

What kind of results can you expect after just one barefoot massage session?

I want to be honest with you: barefoot massage isn’t a magic fix-all in one go. But after just one session, many clients notice some real benefits like:

✨ Pain relief - even if just a little, it’s a start
✨ Better sleep that night or the next few days
✨ Improved range of motion and less stiffness
✨ A clearer sense of what your body needs next on the healing journey

Everybody is different, and healing takes time. But one session can give you a solid boost and valuable insight into your body’s needs.

Ready to feel a little better and start moving toward more comfort? Let’s book your next session and take that first step together. Call 419-447-1888 to schedule.

I absolutely love this post!! I'm so grateful to have earned 155 continued education hours over three years from the TOP 5 barefoot instructors across the country! Can't wait to finish 40 more hours this fall!! 🥰

Let’s clear something up:
Barefoot massage is not just someone walking on your back.
❌ It’s not sloppy.
❌ It’s not unsafe.
❌ And it’s definitely not less skilled.
✅ It’s a carefully trained, anatomy-informed modality that allows therapists to deliver deep, consistent pressure—without burning out their hands.
If you've never experienced barefoot massage the right way, it might be time to step into something new.

🚨 NEW COVERED SERVICE! 🚨

At the Ohio Institute of Osteopathic Medicine, LLC we are incredibly excited to announce that we offer Hemoccult ICT Immunochemical F***l Occult Blood Test, used for colorectal cancer screening, at NO COST for our Direct Primary Care Member Patients!

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States! It is possible to have colorectal cancer and not know it since individuals do not always have symptoms. Since there may be very few symptoms associated with colorectal cancer, regular screening is essential. While no test is perfect, f***l occult blood testing offers a valuable aide in the early detection.

Hemoccult ICT Immunochemical F***l Occult Blood Test uses the principle of immunochromatography to detect human hemoglobin from blood in f***l samples. Hemoccult ICT contains polyclonal anti-human hemoglobin antibodies that react with the globulin portion of undegraded hemoglobin. Hemoccult ICT does NOT require a patient to follow any special dietary restrictions prior to testing. A number of long-term randomized controlled trials and case control studies using Hemoccult have reported a significant reduction in mortality from the early detection of colorectal cancer.

At the Ohio Institute of Osteopathic Medicine, LLC we believe strongly in primary care and preventative care and have included this testing as a covered service for our Direct Primary Care Member Patients at NO COST! Meanwhile, the estimated national average for f***l occult blood testing is $73!!!
