HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP
There are some preventative measures that you can take on your own to try and avoid some of these health conditions; however, sometimes, the aid of a professional becomes necessary. Physical therapy treatments are a safe, healthy, and easy way to correct some of these conditions and prevent your risk of developing them. Together with our physical therapists, we can create a physical exercise plan to ensure you’re getting as much physical activity as you can throughout the day. This will include treatment-specific exercises to increase strength and overall mobility to help prevent other health issues. It is also essential to maintain a healthy diet, ensuring you have sufficient protein to help with bone strength and minimize muscle wasting. Our physical therapists can help set up a meal plan for you to ensure you’re getting the nutrients you need and maintaining a healthy weight. Your physical therapist may also suggest at-home exercises for you to do. They may also offer another form of treatment, such as aquatic therapy, to increase muscle strength and ease discomfort. Call today to schedule an appointment If you are suffering from some of these health conditions or think you might be, give our team at FYZICAL a call today. We’ll be more than happy to schedule a consultation with you and discuss how we can help treat some of these conditions. Aging doesn’t have to be as daunting as it seems — our physical therapists can help you maintain your highest quality of life!

RECIPE OF THE MONTH: VEGAN GINGERBREAD COOKIES
INGREDIENTS • 3 cups flour • 1 tsp baking soda • 1 tsp baking powder • 1 tsp salt • 1 tbsp ground ginger • 2 tsp cinnamon • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp vegan margarine
• 3/4 cup brown sugar • 1/2 cup molasses • 2 tbsp nondairy milk • 1/2 tbsp vanilla • 1/2 cup vegan butter room temp
• 1 cup powdered sugar • 1-3 tsp nondairy milk
DIRECTIONS: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, and cinnamon. In a separate, larger bowl, add the butter, brown sugar, molasses, milk, and vanilla. Beat with a mixer. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until completely combined. Form the dough into
a ball and wrap in cling wrap. Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Roll the cookie dough directly onto parchment paper (if it’s sliding around a lot, a little bit of coconut oil or water on the backside of the paper will help it stick to the counter better.) Roll it to be ~1/4 in thick. Pop the rolled, uncut cookie dough into the freezer for a couple of minutes to firm up before cutting it into cookies. Use cookie cutters to cut out the dough; use a flat spatula to gently remove the excess dough. Keep re-rolling and cutting out the dough until it’s all used up. Pop the unbaked cookies into the freezer to chill for 10 minutes. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges and barely firm in the center. Let them cool completely before decorating. Store them in an airtight container for a perfectly soft chewy molasses cookie texture. Alternatively, you can store them with a little bit of air ventilation for a lightly crisp, snappy gingerbread cookie. To make the frosting, place butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with a hand mixer. Add milk to your preferred consistency (we added ~3 tsp). We put the frosting into a squeeze bottle for easier decorating, or you can use a zip-top baggie and snip off a tiny bit of one corner!
