Stay Active and Become Better Balanced with Physical Therapy
There are several ways to improve your health and wellness. But what exactly does that mean? The term “health” is relative. It essentially means that your body is operating at its highest levels of function in regard to breathing, circulation, digestion, and more. Any step you make toward helping your body function at its optimum levels is a step toward becoming a healthier you. We can provide you with exercises, stretches, and techniques that can help you stay active and become better balanced. As a result, you’ll feel healthier overall! At Breckenridge Physical Therapy, we are here to help improve your health and wellness. Contact us today to learn more. IMPROVING BALANCE Physical activity and balance often coincide with one another. There are some activities that we are required to do each day, such as work, running errands, and household chores. Balance is an integral part of all these daily activities. By improving your balance, it can become much easier for you to carry out these activities with ease. For example, walking is actually a single leg activity. You must be able to balance on one leg in order to walk safely. Additional aspects of proper balance, such as vision and shoe-wear, also go into improving your balance and making sure you are able to complete your daily activities safely and comfortably. Whatever the case may be, we will work with you to help create a happier, healthier you.
Of course, if you struggle with tripping, falling, or dizziness, it can be difficult to stay active. Even if you are not having fundamental issues with your ability to stay balanced in this way, you may still have difficulty with whole-body balance. Exercises such as yoga that harness balance are great ways to strengthen muscles and improve coordination. The best way to improve balance is to focus specifically on activities that are challenging. For example, if you are having trouble with walking, we can help. Exercises such as walking slower, walking on a narrow path, or focusing on single-leg balance can all help make walking easier for you. Additional physical therapy that can help improve your balance include: • Increasing muscle strength
• Improving stamina
• Improving core strength
• Practicing balancing techniques
Taking steps to ensure that you are getting a full night of rest, that you are exercising regularly, and that you are eating a healthy diet are also all strong components to becoming mentally and physically well-balanced. If you are looking for help with this, we can help!

Patient Success Spotlight
3 “This is by far the best PT clinic in Breckenridge. I’ve gone to many clinics over the years for my skiing a d mountain bike injuries and these guys know their stuff. Ellie and Justin apply the latest techniques that help you recover fast! I would drive over an hour for my appointments and it was worth it. They spend the time with you and give you the home exercises that have really made a difference in my recovery. I discovered the clinic back in January 2019. I was staying in Breckenridge and got a case of vertigo and Ellie got me right in and I was up and functioning in an hour. I continued to go to Ellie and Justin for my neck, shoulder and hip pain. The ne k and shoulder pain is gone. Regarding the hip, I’m having reconstruction surgery later this month and they have already connected with my doctor to figure out what my rehab needs are. I also like that they take my insurance and they want me to save my visits for my post-surgery. I’m doing the recommended home exercises to get ready for it.” - M.L. 7 5 8 Want results like this?

I absolutely love this place! It’s a family owned business and they’re very attentive to clients needs. They have a great space which includes both physical therapy and personal training. I recently visited for physical therapy to get some help with my IT Band issues. Rashmi really helped me with my injury with acknowledging where my weaknesses were and giving exercises to strengthen and stretches to relieve tightness. Thanks to the Vert family and Rashmi I’m back to running again. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. - Nicole L 8 1 6 3 4 7 5 3 6 7

4 DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Chop the pepper tops to yield 1 cup. Bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add the peppers; cover and steam until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Remove the peppers and set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and the chopped pepper tops; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, chili powder, chipotles; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add quinoa, black beans, tomatoes, corn and salt; fold until well combined. Spoon about 1 cup quinoa mixture into each pepper, packing it in tightly. Cover the stuffed peppers with foil. Bake the peppers for about 10 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle the peppers evenly with cheese. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese melts and browns slightly, 5 to 8 minutes. 3 8 1 3 7 5 4 7 9 2 5 9 1 6 2 4 4 3 3 7 2
