CELEBRATING BARBARA WELCH
Grand Strand’s Patient of the Month
In this day and age, high praise of a business on social media from a satisfied customer, client, or patient can be one of the best ways to raise awareness of all the good that business can do for its community. That being said, Barbara Welch’s praise of Grand Strand Health and Wellness, both online and in person, is just one small part of why we feel lucky to have her as one of our dedicated patients. Barbara started coming to Grand Strand Health and Wellness about a year ago, after she received a recommendation from her primary doctor to see a chiropractor. She was experiencing increasing pain in her thoracic and lumbar (mid and lower back) areas, and it was starting to get in the way of her enjoying her everyday life. We’re happy to say that since she started coming to our office, her pain has become less and less of a problem. Now, whenever she visits the office for her appointments, she wears a huge smile on her face. We love Barbara’s natural curiosity and her desire to learn more about how she can improve her health. Whenever she’s with us, she asks plenty of questions about how she can better take care of her body. In the time that she’s been our patient, she has also demonstrated time and time again her own knowledge of health topics. Plus, she really enjoys the trivia that plays on the screens in our office. Feeling Renewed at Any Age
When Barbara isn’t at the office or memorizing Grand Strand’s latest health tip of the day, she is spending time with family. She has both children and grandchildren that live in the area. We hope that because of the time she spends with us, she’s able to better enjoy the time she spends with them!
2 WAYS TO REVIVE YOUR LIFE THIS SUMMER
If the mercurial spring weather has prevented you from getting out as much as you would have liked these past few months, you might be feeling a bit of cabin fever about now. Luckily, you can still introduce positive changes to your life that help you feel healthier and younger. Here are two ways to awaken your body and mind.
PAY ATTENTION TO MENTAL HEALTH.
ADOPT A NEW ACTIVITY.
Although more years provide more experience and knowledge, sometimes they also come with heavy baggage. The loss of a loved one, trauma, and other struggles can impact your life in later years. This is why it’s good to practice mindfulness. Take some time to focus on the present. Go for a walk and listen to the world around you, feel the fresh air against your skin, fill your lungs, and take in everything you can see. Meditation is also a good way to spend a few minutes to focus on your body in the moment and the things in life that make you happy. Practices like these can help you feel lighter, both physically and emotionally.
As you get older, it’s not uncommon to drift further from the lifestyle you had in your 20s and 30s. Things have settled down, and you know a bit more about who you are, what you enjoy, and what you’re capable of. With this better understanding, you can make choices more aligned with your true interests and personality. Think about getting involved with a new activity you may have always wanted to try but never had the chance, like yoga or even a video game. Trying out new things keeps your brain active. You may even discover a new favorite activity along the way!
Growing older doesn’t mean you can’t feel renewed and positive. This isn’t just an impossible idea — it’s a reality.
