Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients • 2 large sweet potatoes • 1 tbsp olive oil

Name:

• 1 tsp cumin • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika • Sea salt to taste

“I injured my shoulder kayaking in 4-6 ft. surf. Initially, I noticed shoulder pain and a decrease in my kayaking performance. Over the course of several weeks, I was unable to do many activities at the gym without pain. Lifting my arm overhead was painful. I found myself using my non-dominant arm to open cabinets, retrieve items, and open doors. When my shoulder discomfort reached a point that it was not only affecting my kayaking and workouts but everyday activities, it was time to seek help. An MRI showed a rotator cuff tear. Since I was familiar with Atlas PT from a shoulder workshop at my gym, they were my first choice. I was anxious to get back to normal activity ASAP. We started out slow to get rid of pain and increase ROM. As those progressed, both PT’s gave me exercises to help improve strength and proper shoulder positioning. The staff helped me push myself as hard as I wanted to go within reason. After three months, I am able to do most activities without pain. My daily activities have returned to near-normal, and I look forward to testing the waters again in the near future. Thanks to the entire staff for guidance and support.” - Denise P. 5 6 7 Name: 1 2 3 4
