SUCCESS STORIES “I am working with Dana and have found her to be most excellent—extremely well-trained, sensitive, and responsive. She really listens and takes the time to really understand what I was experiencing and how much to push me. I recommend her without any hesitation to others with joint issues.” -Nicole
6 DIET TIPS FOR SUMMER
1. Swap out snacks for fruits and vegetables. Consume at least 5 portions of a variety of fruits and vegetables daily. If this sounds challenging, remember that fresh, frozen, canned, dried, or even juiced fruits and veggies are all options. 2. Replace steak with fish. Fish is a great source of protein and contains many vitamins and minerals. You should try to incorporate at least 2 servings of fish into your diet every week. 3. Reduce your saturated fat intake. Too much saturated fat can raise your blood cholesterol levels, increasing your risk of developing heart disease. Examples of food high in saturated fat includes fatty cuts of meat, sausages, butter, hard cheeses, cream, cakes and biscuits. 4. Cut down on sugary drinks. Drinks high in sugar contribute to obesity and tooth decay. Try opting for a cool, refreshing glass of water instead, or a tasty fruit smoothie! 5. Drink enough water. Proper hydration is always important, but even more so during hot weather. You should aim for 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. 6. Don’t skip breakfast. A healthy breakfast sets the tone for your day and gives you the energy you need to make it to lunch!

Call Fairfield Universal Therapy for a complimentary injury consultation. We will guide you so you can get back to the activities you love.
Start by sitting up straight on a mat. Take one leg and make your shin parallel with the front of the mat and your knee at a 90-degree angle with your leg on the mat. Place your other knee near your foot and aim your shin parallel with the side edge of the mat so your foot is pointing straight back and your knee is bent to about 90-degrees. Sit straight up and allow your hips to be stretched as they sink toward the mat in this position. 2 sets, 1 rep, 30 seconds hold.
