“I went from barely being able to get out of bed to running 3 miles a few times a week.”

Ihavebeenphysicallyactive foras longas Ican remember. Ihavealsobeenplaguedwithchronic backpaindue tountreatedsports injuries inmy youth. I recently strained my back and thought that it would simply go away after a while, but this timewasdifferent. Insteadofgettingbetter, it continued to get worse until I became nearly bedridden and worried the time had come for backsurgery.That iswhen Ibeganmy research for a Physical Therapist.

It’s summertime! Wow the year has been flying by! Last month my daughter, Rowan, had her 4th birthday at Wunderland and had a blast playing all the nickel arcade games. She is in love with rainbows, sparkles, and unicorns. This summer I have some ambitious plans to take my family to: the beach, hiking in the gorge, Wild Waves waterslide park in Washington, OMSI, and the zoo! We’ll be wearing our sunscreen for sure, and I hope you remember to wear some as well. What ambitious summer adventures do you have planned? Let us know at your visit or on our Facebook page. Together in health, Derek
