Each month, VCSST has been making suggestions for ways to enhance your life. In August, we suggest that you just… let … IT… go. Let those small daily annoyances or aggravations of this busy world just dissipate with a deep breath in, and out. Spill coffee on yourself? – don’t let it ruin your day. Rude encounter? – shake it off. Cut off in traffic? – don’t let it steal your joy. If you hang on to the thought, you hang on to the negativity. Hanging on to anger or frustration such that it affects your mood any longer than it needs to has been correlated to increased health risks. In contrast, the ability to chill out and let the myriad of small daily stressors simply go away can have positive health benefits, such as reducing your risk of cardiovascular disease, decreasing your perception of pain and improving your immune system. WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR YOU THIS MONTH?
Specialist Spotlight
Welcome Dr. Ashley Redden, PT, DPT
If any of you have seen our “White Board Wednesday” in our reception area or posted on our Instagram (@VCSST_PT) our front office manager, Brandy Price, creatively offers a weekly suggestion for keeping things in perspective. Her artistic words of wisdom are fun reminders for how to not sweat the small stuff and to just...let... IT...go.
Ashley graduated with honors from James Madison University and earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree with highest honors from Old Dominion University. She earned an athletic scholarship to Hawaii Pacific University as a competitive cheerleader, and helped her college team win a National Cheerleaders Association Championship title in 2011. Having been involved with the sport for over 20 years, Ashley has a passion for working with competitive cheerleaders, as well as gymnasts, dancers, and baseball players. Ashley previously worked with us at VCSST as a PT Technician in 2014-15 and we are delighted to have her back with us again!
