The Love of Family Feature Article For those of you who know Carlos and Adrienne, you know that family ranks at the top of their list of priorities followed by their unquenchable thirst for travel and adventure, big or small. When they are not in the clinic, you will find them walking in the shallow waves of Clearwater Beach with baby Greyson, going on walks around their neighborhood, or doing some kind of adventurous-something-or-other with their family and friends. To give you a little history, Carlos and Adrienne met when they were young – Adrienne 17 and Carlos 21. From the beginning, they found ways, on their shoe-string college budget, to travel to the Bahamas, Mexico, Colombia, and around the US. After college, their adventures led them to the apple orchards of Canada and into the vineyards of Italy. They always traveled with family, to see family, or just made family everywhere they went!

Diapers and Pull-ups Charity Drive URGENTNEED at Children’s Home Network! JULY 2-13

The Children’s Home Network is Tampa’s oldest and continuously run non-profit organization. For the past 126 years, Children’s Home Network has used its Tampa-based residential campus to provide a safe, healing environment to help boys and girls who have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Nearly 25,000 children and families benefit each year through Children’s Home Network programs that focus on healing children while creating opportunities for success. Specifically, the Adolescents in Motherhood (AIM) Program is a residential maternity program for pregnant teens and mothers ages 13-17 who are in foster care. This program enables young mothers and their child to reside together, with the support and supervision of trained caretakers,

so they are not separated within the foster care system. AIM provides a structured home and campus environment, with the support of trained and trauma-sensitive child caregivers, mental health and behavioral specialists, a staff nurse, psychiatrist, parenting classes and support to meet educational needs. The Children’s Home Network makes it a priority to ensure all mothers are prepared for their eventual departure from AIM into an independent adult. At this time, there is an URGENT NEED for disposable diapers and pull-ups. In an effort to aid the precious little ones in this program, Life In Motion will be hosting a drive from July 2-13. We are asking our patient family to help us provide as many diapers and pull-ups as possible. Donations

can be made at either Life In Motion location. (Diaper sizes 1-4, Pull-up sizes S/M and L/XL) From one family to another, let’s share our love and support through the gift of giving.Thank you! Please follow the drive on our Facebook page.

The Love of Family

Patient Success Spotlight

“I truly found family when I found Life In Motion. They have gone above and beyond to make sure that I was getting stronger and feeling better. I have struggled with knee and lower back discomfort for over half of my life. I am a young mother of two boys and I honestly thought this was just how life was going to be. Finding Life In Motion has changed my quality of life. I am able to be the mother I have wanted to be with them. For the first time since I can even remember, I spent the entire day chaperoning my son’s class field trip to the amusement park. I knew that day that the care I was receiving through Life In Motion had changed my life. I had survived the entire day walking around that amusement park and not one time did I have to stop because of pain. From the moment you walk into their door, you feel like your part of their home. You are truly cared about.” – Sheena S. “I truly found family when I found Life In Motion.” Has Your Pain Come Back?

(Continued from Cover)

When they announced that they were expecting their first baby in December of 2016, many gave the advice that life would change with the addition of the new little one – and it did! Now, there is more luggage to pack! At 17 months old, baby Greyson has traveled more than Adrienne had at the age of 18! He has been over-night camping in a tent, seen the coffee fields of Colombia, South America, and walked hand-in-hand with mommy and daddy on Hollywood Blvd in California. He has grown into a huge fan of airplanes – both riding in them and enthusiastically pointing them out when he finds them in the sky! No matter how near or how far, finding adventurous ways to experience other places, cultures, and people is what fills the Riveros’ bucket list. More than anything, though, experiencing the joys of life with their family and friends is what fills their hearts.

ATTENTION SCIATICA SUFFERERS! Revealed: A 30 Second Self-Test & the #1 Single Best Exercise for Relief for Sciatica. Do you (or someone you know) suffer from pain, numbness or tingling in your legs, feet, buttocks or lower back? If you do and you are looking for natural and permanent relief, then here are 2 valuable tools to help you...

Sunday, July 1st, 2018

Dear LIM family, Recently, I was doing some research on Sciatica and lower back pain treatments and I stumbled on some information that I thought you or someone you know might find valuable. Have you or someone you know and care about ever: • Missed work due to Sciatica or back pain? • Missed out on a family vacation or activity because you were afraid to aggravate your Sciatica? • Found yourself worrying more about your pain, numbness and tingling rather than living your life? At Life In Motion Physical & Hand Therapy, we specialize in treating Sciatica and Lower Back Pain. Simply put, Sciatica has 3 common causes: 1. Herniated discs 2. Stenosis or Arthritis 3. Pelvic or SI joint problem When you match the right treatment with the right problem, the symptoms should go away...almost immediately (there are exceptions: comorbidities, surgery, chronic injections, and medicines.) Have you ever seen the lady who has to lean on her shopping cart as she is walking through Target? The reason she needs to do that is usually because of arthritis (doctors call it “Stenosis”) in the lower back. Successful treatment for that condition usually involves: 1. Specific exercises usually involving bending forward (flexing forward) 2. Traction 3. Hands-on Physical Therapy So if she would do the wrong type of treatment, let’s say the treatment for the herniated disc, she is going to be in a lot more pain and the symptoms in her leg may actually be worse! So, here are 2 important tools I want you to have (or if you are feeling fine, you can pass them on to someone who may need them): 1. A 30 second self-test that you can do in the safety and comfort of your home to see if you really have Sciatica 2. The number one, single best exercise to do for Sciatica relief Hope this helps you, Carlos

Seminole Location: 9021 Oakhurst Rd, Suite A Seminole, FL 33776 Phone: (727) 369-6355 Fax: (727) 362-4766

P.S. When doing the exercise for relief, 3 things can happen: 1. You feel better. 2. You don’t feel any different. 3. You feel worse.

If you feel better, great, keep doing it! (There is an entire series of more advanced exercises to do. We can show you if you need it.) If you are a #2 or #3 (no change or feeling worse), I have also attached a Sciatica screening coupon. Call (727) 369-6355 to schedule an appointment. I will examine you and determine: 1. The cause of your Sciatica 2. If you need an MRI or x-ray (Luckily, usually not.) 3. What successful and natural treatment looks like for you.

P.P.S. We need to limit this to the first 20 people to call because of our busy schedule. If you need help, do not delay. This offer expires July 31, 2018.

FREE Lower Back Pain and Sciatica screening! Call (727) 369-6355 to schedule FREE SCREENING. Have you ever… • Missed work due to Sciatica or back pain? • Missed out on a family vacation or activity because you were afraid to aggravate your Sciatica? • Found yourself worrying more about your pain, numbness and tingling rather than living your life? This coupon may be given to friends or family – limited to the first 20 calls. Expires July 31, 2018.

Self-Test for Sciatica 1. Sitting on a chair, look down. 2. Straighten one leg, with toes in the air. 3. Repeat for the other side. What it means: If your leg with pain, numbness or tingling does not go up as high as the other leg, you likely have sciatica. Your next step is to see what is causing the pressure on your sciatic nerve. Call us to schedule an appointment...we can help you with that. #1 Single Best Exercise for Sciatica Relief: Standing Back Bend (The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc. If this exercise does not help, call our office at 727-369-6355 to schedule an appointment). 1. Standing with hands-on hips, feet shoulder width apart. 2. Bend backwards until a stretch is felt. Hold 5 seconds, repeat 20 times.
