Constant exercise for your back and abdominals. Holding good posture takes effort and makes you use the muscles in your back and abdomen properly. 2. It greatly improves your breathing.

FIVE STAR PATIENT REVIEWS
“When I first came in I was having a lot of pain in my knee doing everyday activities, like walking long distances, going up and down stairs, and sitting for too long. After working on the strengthening exercises I was taught here I feel I am able to have more flexibility and now I know how to continue to improve with exercises I’ve been given to work on at home. All of the staff here are very welcoming and knowledgeable in the area of physical therapy. I thank all of you.” - Maura G. I feel I am able to have more flexibility and now I know how to continue to improve with exercises I’ve been given
“Everyone here at Advance are the worlds greatest therapy team! They took my body from three sessions of extreme sciatica to total flexibility!!! I went from 350+ pounds to a fit 225 pounds. From heavy weight to Batman (Ha! Ha! Only Kidding) I have never felt this good before!! At age 62 years old, I am surpassing athletes half my age!! I hope to qualify as a mixed-martial artist by August of this summer (2018) and if I do not make it I will just come back to Advance, so they can correct whatever it is I am doing wrong! I am definitely a PT success story because of them!! Thank you Advance!!!” - Beatrice S. I am definitely a PT success story because of them!!
“This is my second time in two years I have been here. The first time I hurt my back golfing. I was in so much pain I could not swing a club. The wonderful people worked with me for several months and I was pain free and my golf game was BETTER! This time I hurt my shoulder exercising. It was painful and I was unable to do most of my exercises. After just a few months, I was feeling much better and able to return to my normal routine. Everyone here is extremely friendly and very helpful.” - Robert S. Everyone here is extremely friendly and very helpful.”
The Critic Corner MOVIE REVIEW ON BLACK PANTHER
Black Panther is one of the best steps forward for the Marvel Universe Movies in many ways: In story, characters, cinematography, its combination of score and music. Basically its whole package. It is oneof thestrongestandmost inspiringfilms in the entire franchise. Given its pedigree, this should come as no surprise. To start, the material was the first mainstream comic book hero of African descent, something that has been an inspiration to many children over the years. Black Panther creating something with deep ideals, yet never forgetting it’s also a comic book film. While the other films in the franchise have given us heroes, Black Panther gives us characters everyone can look up to, no
matter your age, sex, or race. T’Challa may be the focus being the title character, and yes he’s astrong leader andan even stronger hero with strong moral fiber, as a superhero should be, yet he’s not solely what makes the film work. There are older leaders to learn from, strong female characters to look up to and worldly viewpoints to aspire to. I think Black Panther is a must see change of pace for the superhero genre and you should pounce on it as soon as possible!
