Grand Strand Health & Wellness - November 2020

CELEBRATING JANET CRABTREE

Grand Strand’s Patient of the Month

We celebrate quite a few “theme days” at the Grand Strand Health and Wellness offices. It’s a way for us to make the office more exciting for our patients — and some of them really get in on the fun! Notably, one such patient is Janet Crabtree, who has been coming to us for her chiropractic care for several years. She makes sure to coordinate her outfit with whatever theme we have going at the office that day, and that extra effort exemplifies how much she goes the extra mile as one of our patients. Since Janet started coming to Grand Strand Health and Wellness, she hasn’t stopped referring people to our office. Members of her family, friends of hers, and even some of her neighbors are now patients of ours because of her. Whenever she meets someone with an ailment that we can help treat, she sends them our way. Similarly, whenever she experiences some sort of ailment, we’re the first ones she calls for help. Janet ensures that chiropractic care is part of her regular health care routine, and she makes the most of her visits with us. We love hearing all her stories about time with her family — her appointments brighten everyone’s day, and we’re thankful to be one of her health care providers.

When Janet isn’t in our office, she enjoys a very active life. She’s the definition of a social butterfly, constantly hosting gatherings at her home with her husband, or out in her neighborhood spending time with her friends and neighbors. She also loves being with her grandchildren at any moment that’s possible. Thank you for being such an awesome patient and member of our community, Janet! We look forward to seeing the outfit you put together for our next theme day.

Either way, it’s always nice to have a little extra time for yourself without losing too much sleep.

call. After that, you can brew your favorite coffee to keep you going strong. This practice also might help you consume less caffeine overall! TAKE A QUICK MORNING WALK — AND HAVE YOUR MEETINGS ON THE GO. Morning meetings can make us want to fall asleep again. Don’t spend all of them sitting down if you don’t have to! Not only will morning walks help you wake up, but they can also add some extra physical activity to your day. WRITE IN YOUR JOURNAL. Who says you have to journal at the end of the day when you’re tired and ready to sleep? You can journal in the morning about what happened yesterday and the things you’re looking forward to that day. Journaling can remind you of your daily goals and motivate you to stick to your commitments.

It’s time to try these tactics to superboost your day!
