Patient Spotlights
Health Tip
Study after study reinforces the delicious idea that eating chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is good for you (in moderation, of course). One reason is that cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate, is packed with antioxidants called polyphenols. The higher the percentage of cocoa in a bar, the higher the concentration of polyphenols. Polyphenols will help fight inflamation in the body, in turn, helping relieve arthritis pain. This recipe, made with cocoa powder, will let you reap the health benefits of dark chocolate without its bitter taste or extra fat or sugar. You can reduce Inflammation by eating healthy!
“Caring, attentive and creative!” “My therapist was able to help me meet my goals by making therapy fun with toys and putty and coming up with new and creative ways to challenge me. I would describe my therapist as caring, attentive and creative. I will recommend her to anyone needing to see a hand therapist.” Mikayla B. “Incredibly helpful!” “My therapist was able to help me work to my goals by providing me with tips and exercises to help me reach them. For example, she helped me learn how to change my workstation to improve my posture, which was incredibly helpful. My therapist is kind, knowledgeable, understanding and truly invested in improving my life through therapy.” Kayla I. “Amazing!!” “I would describe my therapist as AMAZING!! The whole staff is incredible. Such helpful therapists. The therapist really listen to all of your concerns and address them accordingly, totally customizing your recovery.
