HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP OSTEOARTHRITIS?
According to the American Occupational Therapy Association, 1 in 5 adults are diagnosed with arthritis annually. Physical therapy is the most common treatments for Osteoarthritis, usually helping with the relief of joint pain in just a few sessions. If you have arthritis, don’t fret - there is hope! While anti-inflammatory and pain medications will help for the time being, they are very much a short-term solution. Physical therapy can help in actually strengthening your joints and muscles once again, allowing for a much healthier and long-term pain relief solution. Occupational therapy will also help in learning to use your joints in new ways once again, allowing for the highest quality of life despite the severity of your arthritis. Our physical therapists are trained to help you with joint alignment, stability, muscle regeneration, and most importantly, pain relief. They are dedicated to helping you get back to your normal levels of mobility. Don’t settle for a life of aches and pains - physical therapy can get you back on your feet and doing the activities you used to love! If you are suffering from Osteoarthritis, give us a call today - we can get you back to living your best, most pain-free life.

BALL GRIP Hold a ball in your hand, then squeeze tightly for 15 seconds. Repeat 5 times with each hand.
• 2 tbsp plant-based milk • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar • 1 tsp onion powder • 3/4 tsp coconut sugar • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika • 1/2 tsp ground cumin • 10 small flour tortillas • Sea salt & black pepper to taste • Chili powder to taste
INSTRUCTIONS: Using a fork, roughly mash chickpeas in a bowl. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3 min, then add garlic and spice mix and sauté for 1 min. Add all other sauce ingredients and chickpeas to the pan and bring mixture to a boil. Let simmer on low heat for about 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat. Add more chili powder to taste. Preheat oven to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place about 2 tbsp of the filling onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly. Place every tortilla seam-side down on the baking sheet, next to each other. Brush them with a little bit of vegetable oil (to make them even more crispy). Bake in the oven for about 15-20 min or until they are golden brown and crispy. Drizzle with vegan cheese sauce (optional). Enjoy with your favorite dip!
