3 HEALTH TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON
PATIENT SUCCESS STORIES
How busy are you this holiday season? At Physical Achievement Center we understand that this time can be both joyful and hectic. In the midst of it all, it can feel easy to let your health slip through the cracks. Are you concerned about maintaining your health this winter, but are feeling overwhelmed or don’t know where to start? If so, check out these 3 tips for staying fit during the holidays. 1. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep With everything that goes on during December and January, it’s understandable to search for more time in the day. Sacrificing your sleep, however, will end up doing you more harm than good. Sleep is how the body recovers and recharges. Poor sleeping habits are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, reduced cognition, and mood shifts. Aim to get 7-8 hours a night, every night. 2. Stay active Exercise supports both your mental and physical health and is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. The great thing about exercising is that there’s certainly no shortage of ways to get active! From going down to the park with your kids, walking around the neighborhood, biking, doing yoga, or hitting the gym, there are many ways to make exercising fit into your busy lifestyle. 3. Don’t skip meals With big Christmas lunches and dinners to look forward to, it can sometimes be tempting to eat less food during the day to save room for later. However, this can actually encourage you to make less healthy choices and have an unbalanced diet. Eating one big meal a day can also increase your blood pressure and cholesterol. Instead, try to eat regular meals with servings of lean protein, fruits, and vegetables.

Both Dr. Eric and Dr. Rebecca are amazing, I have been dealing with shoulder pain since May of 2021 and I can’t believe how much they have helped me. I have had therapy before only helped for a little while. Saw an orthopedic doctor and I don’t want injections or surgery. Dr. Eric and Dr Rebecca take time with me, show me exercises, manipulate my shoulder without pain, I enjoy going there each week and look forward to seeing what they have for me. -Susan O.
I saw the ad on Facebook for a seminar on Knee pain at the Physical Achievement Center using physical therapy as a tool for strengthening knees without injections or surgery. I was intrigued, as I had already had 3 injections in my knee and thought surgery was in my future. With the help of Dr Eric & Ginny I have been given a set of exercises to continue at home, and PT which has helped tremendously. After only 3 weeks I feel stronger and able to do more walking and stairs which were difficult before. The staff at PAC is genuinely supportive and has your best interests at heart! Don’t delay giving this therapy a try, it’s all about strength! -Adele B.
