Stroke Awareness: Every Minute Counts

Every year, 12 million people worldwide experience a stroke — and 1 in 4 adults will have one in their lifetime.

⏱️ During a stroke, 1.9 million brain cells die each minute. Recognizing the signs early can save a life:

👉 F.A.S.T.
F – Face drooping
A – Arm weakness
S – Speech difficulty
T – Time to call 911

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy + Wellness, our therapists help stroke survivors regain strength, confidence, and independence through personalized physical and occupational therapy — delivered right in the comfort of home.

Recovery takes time, but with the right support, incredible progress is possible.

⛳ Client Spotlight: Meet Mike, age 82 🌊

When Mike first started working with our team, his goal was simple — to get back to the things he loved most: playing golf and feeling confident enough to go on a cruise with his wife.

After just a few weeks of personalized sessions focused on strength, balance, and mobility, Mike noticed a difference. His swing felt smoother, his stamina improved, and stairs (on land and at sea!) no longer felt intimidating.

🏋️ “Working with a movement expert at INSPIRE gave me my confidence back,” Mike shared. “I didn’t just get stronger — I got my life back.”

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness, we help older adults move better, feel stronger, and stay independent — whether your next adventure is on the golf course or across the ocean.

🌍💪 Today is World Arthritis Day!

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness, we’re shining a light on two common—but very different—types of arthritis:

🦴 Osteoarthritis (OA)
• The most common form of arthritis
• Caused by wear and tear of cartilage over time
• Often affects knees, hips, spine, and hands
• Leads to stiffness, pain, and decreased mobility

🔥 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
• An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the joints
• Can cause swelling, pain, and fatigue
• May affect multiple joints and even other organs

✨ How Physical & Occupational Therapy Can Help:
Our one-on-one sessions focus on:
✅ Gentle strengthening and flexibility exercises to protect your joints
✅ Pain-reducing techniques and education to keep you moving confidently
✅ Adaptive tools and strategies to make daily tasks easier and maintain independence

Whether you’re living with OA, RA, or joint pain from another cause—movement is medicine. We’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and live life on your terms.

🌟 October is Physical Therapy Month! 🌟

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness, we believe movement is medicine. Physical therapy helps older adults stay strong, steady, and independent — preventing falls, recovering from injuries, and enjoying the activities that bring joy to everyday life.

This month, we want to send a huge thank you to our incredible team of Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants across Connecticut and Rhode Island. Your dedication, expertise, and compassion make all the difference in the lives of our clients.

Because of you, our community is moving with more confidence, strength, and independence.

🍂 September is Fall Prevention Month 🍂

Did you know…
➡️ 1 in 4 adults over age 65 falls each year.
➡️ Falls are the leading cause of injury and hospitalization for older adults.
➡️ But here’s the truth: falls are not a normal part of aging.

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness, our team of physical and occupational therapists specializes in helping adults stay strong, steady, and confident—whether through balance training, home safety strategies, or customized exercise programs.

Together, we can reduce fall risk and keep you moving safely at home or in the community.

Because independence matters. Because confidence matters. Because you matter.

🔆Understanding Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)🔆

Guillain-Barré Syndrome is a rare condition where the body’s immune system attacks the nerves. It often starts with tingling or weakness in the legs and can progress quickly, sometimes leading to difficulty walking, using the arms, or even breathing in severe cases.

💪 Recovery is possible — but it takes time, support, and the right care team. This is where physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) play a crucial role:

✅ Physical Therapy helps rebuild strength, balance, and mobility. PT focuses on safe exercises to restore movement, reduce fatigue, and retrain the body to walk, stand, and move with confidence.

✅ Occupational Therapy supports independence in daily activities. OT addresses fine motor skills, coordination, and energy conservation strategies so clients can safely return to dressing, cooking, working, and enjoying life again.

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness, our team works 1:1 with clients at home or in our studio to guide them through recovery—step by step, at their own pace.

🌿 Progress may be slow, but every milestone matters. With the right support, many individuals regain their independence and return to the activities they love.

😶‍🌫️Brain Fog: More Than Just Feeling Tired😶‍🌫️

Ever struggled with poor concentration, mental fatigue, or finding the right words? That “brain fog” isn’t an official medical diagnosis, but it is a very real constellation of symptoms that can impact daily life.

According to neurologist Dr. Lindsay McAlpine (Yale School of Medicine), brain fog can be linked to conditions like:
• Migraines, Parkinson’s, stroke, or dementia
• Long COVID, ME/CFS, or POTS
• Hormonal changes, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, or depression
• Sleep issues, high/low blood sugar, or even certain medications

💡 The good news? Lifestyle changes can help:
✅ 7–8 hours of quality sleep
✅ Hydrating + eating balanced meals
✅ Regular exercise (aerobic + resistance training)
✅ Managing stress and mental health

If brain fog is persistent or comes with chest pain, shortness of breath, or sudden confusion, it’s important to seek medical care.

✨ You don’t have to “push through” brain fog — understanding the cause is the first step to clearer thinking and better health.

October is almost here—which means Medicare Open Enrollment is right around the corner!

Did you know?
➡️ Open Enrollment runs October 15 – December 7
➡️ This is the time to review your current Medicare plan and make changes for 2026.
➡️ The choices you make now can impact your coverage for things like therapy services, medications, and wellness benefits for the whole year ahead.

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness, we often see how confusing Medicare options can feel—especially when it comes to outpatient therapy coverage. We encourage you (and your loved ones) to take a little time this fall to review your plan and make sure it’s the right fit for your health goals.

💡 Tip: Don’t wait until the last week—mark your calendar now so you have time to compare options and ask questions.

“I came to INSPIRE’s Groton studio frustrated and limited by constant shoulder pain. Kayaking is my happy place, but even lifting the paddle hurt. Dr. Chris Levesque took the time to really listen and assess what was going on. He created a clear, step-by-step plan—hands-on treatment, mobility work, and targeted strengthening I could manage between sessions. He tracked my progress, adjusted as needed, and celebrated the small wins with me.

Today, I’m paddling again—pain way down, confidence way up. Chris didn’t just treat my shoulder; he helped me get back to what I love.”
