3 Healthy Tips To Live By
Patient Success Spotlight
“I was seen at PT after a total knee replacement. I had been dealing with pain and limitation for about two years. I love to walk several miles a week and I was no longer able to walk to the mail box. PT is not for the faint of heart. It is extremely hard work. I left every session feeling physically and emotionally better. I have more work to do but I am back walking. I highly recommend Physical Therapists and Rehab Specialists. Hopefully I am done with PT but if I ever need it again they will be my first phone call. Thanks Ben!!” - S.F. “I have more work to do but I am back walking.

SUPPORTED BRIDGE Try these movements if you are experiencing back pain. Exercise Essential 3. Hydrate - Keep your water bottle with you at all times. You should be drinking eight, 8-ounce glasses of water each day. One handy trick is to buy a 64 ounce water jug. Fill it up in the morning and know that you need to finish it by the end of the day. 1. Shop Well For Yourself - It is more important then ever to stock your kitchen with healthy foods. Have healthy snacks handy. The more convenient they are, the more likely you are to eat them. Instead of thinking about what you shouldn’t eat, promise to eat your 3 to 5 servings of vegetables each day. 2. Schedule Your Exercise - Your schedule will be very hectic this year, like every year. Schedule your workouts just as you would any other appointment. It’s okay if you can’t make it to class, but make sure that you get some activity in at least three days per week.
