TIPS TO PREVENT HOLIDAY STRESS
YOUR HEALTH MATTERS TO US! When you visit us, our team is committed to helping you feel confident that you are in good hands. As your health and wellbeing is our priority, we are: • Screening all staff before starting their shift. • Screening all patients upon arriving at the clinic. • Requiring that all patients wear a face covering and all of our staff are wearing a face mask. • Asking that clients remain in their car until their appointment time. • Requesting all visitors to use the hand sanitization station at entry. • Our clinic’s cleaning standards align with or far exceed prescribed CDC Universal precautions for healthcare facilities and include: disinfection of pens, phones, computers, surfaces, and door handles regularly. Hand washing, as well as equipment and treatment table cleaning, is a typical routine before and/or after EACH client interaction. • We have adjusted how we schedule team members and clients to control volume safely. •We are also offering Telehealth for those who wish to continue physical therapy treatments at home and not lose progress.
Be realistic. The holidays don’t have to be perfect or just like last year. As families change and grow, traditions and rituals often change as well. Choose a few to hold on to, and be open to creating new ones. For example, if your adult children can’t come to your house, find new ways to celebrate together, such as sharing a zoom call, look at a few memorable pictures, send e-mails or videos. Stick to a budget. Before you go gift and food shopping, decide how much money you can afford to spend. Then stick to your budget. Don’t try to buy happiness with an avalanche of gifts. Try these alternatives: • Donate to a charity in someone’s name. • Give homemade gifts. Plan ahead. Set aside specific days for shopping, baking, visiting friends and other activities. Plan your menus and then make your shopping list. And make sure to line up help for party prep and cleanup. Learn to say “no”. Those of us that always say “yes” sometimes feel resentful and overwhelmed. Don’t worry! Friends and colleagues will understand if you can’t participate in every project or activity. Instead, take steps to prevent the stress and possibly even depression that can descend during the holidays. Learn to recognize your holiday triggers! Financial pressures or personal demands can really get you down. Combat them before they lead to a problem. FREE 15 MINUTE CONSULT CALL TO SCHEDULE TODAY!

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU
3 Simple Wellness Tips for Healthy Resolutions Do you use the new year as an annual health seminar with yourself? Here’s a list of 3 simple wellness tips. Cheers to a healthy and happy new year. 1. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water. If you weigh 160 lbs, you should drink 80 oz of water. Drinking water has plenty of benefits, including increasing energy, flushing out toxins, improving skin complexion and boosting immunity. 2. Start the morning with a hydrating warm drink. Drinking warm water with lemon is a great choice as the combination makes for a wonderful, healthy flavor. Apple cider vinegar concoctions can also rehydrate and influence the body’s alkaline state. 3. Be active daily. Aim for 30 minutes of daily activity. Break up your exercise throughout the day: 10 minutes before work, 10 minutes afterward, and 10 minutes at home with the kids. If a long-term resolution seems daunting, aim for new measurable goals monthly. Think short-term and create a new goal every month.
