HEALTHY RECIPE

Dried Fruit Energy Balls

INGREDIENTS • 1 cup chopped almonds • 1 cup dried figs • 1 cup dried apricots • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut • 1 Cup Chia seeds DIRECTIONS

30 Second Self-Test for Sciatica

1- Sitting on a chair, look down. 2- Straighten one leg, with toes in the air. 3- Repeat for the other side. What it means: If the leg with pain, numb- ness or tingling does not go up as high as the other leg, you likely have Sciatica.

Do you have back pain or leg pain with standing or walking? Do you have a shooting pain in your leg when you stand up? Do you need to sit down for a minute for the pain to go away?

Combine almonds, figs and apricots in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add the chia seeds, roll the mixture into small balls and dredge in coconut. To make ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Eating Right Never Tasted So Good!

Your next step is to see what is causing the pressure on your sciatic nerve.

PATIENT SPOTLIGHT

“In the last few years since being injured, I’ve seen more providers in the Seattle area than you would probably believe, and I have found that this is one of the most talented and caring groups you will find! They will personalize and tailor my treatment plan (sometimes on the fly if I am having a flare-up) without even skipping a beat! I really feel like they are invested in my health, and I’m not just another person walking in the door. They do so much more than just the standard physical therapy I’ve experienced elsewhere. If you or someone you know is needing PT, strength training, or looking to improve personal fitness and wants to have the best quality of care- this is definitely where you want to be. - Zoe C. “They do so much more than just the standard physical therapy”
