Exercise Essentials
Try this simple exercise to help with back pain... Always consult your physical therapist or physician before starting exercises you are unsure of doing. BRIDGES
Find a flat, comfortable surface and lie on your back with your knees bent and arms at your sides. Keeping your feet, arms, and head flat, slowly raise your hips about 6 inches off the surface, engaging your abdominal muscles. Hold this position for a few seconds, and then slowly bring your hips back down to the surface.

Letter From The Clinic
Spring is coming! As the days of sunshine and green grass happen more often, we get more and more excited! Along with warmer weather comes outdoor activities, and our area has some of the best outdoor fun available. Since your body isn’t quite used to the extra movement, I encourage you to take your time stretching and warming up before each activity to avoid an injury that may sideline you for awhile. In the event that you find yourself aching or hurting, or you want a quick check to make sure your body is ready for your increased activity, we are happy to see you for a check-up! Remember, stay hydrated, use sunscreen, and listen to your body’s signals that something may be wrong. We want you to stay up and at ‘em all season long!
