Inspirational Quotes 2017: " Be the kind of person you want to meet"

Katherine Princic, PT, DPT, RYT

Here's a quote I like, to help keep things in perspective and stay connected to my true core. ‘There is a light that shines beyond all things on Earth, beyond us all, beyond the heavens, beyond the highest the very highest heavens. This is the light that shines in your own heart.’ – Chandogya Upanishad

Heather Chowaniec Brummett, PT, DPT, CMPT, CSCS, PMA®-CPT

My best friend of 34 years gave me a bracelet with this quote on it this year...

"Be fearless. Be strong. Balanced. Faithful. Passionate. Smart. Loyal."

One rule that I remind myself and remind my two daughters...

The Golden Rule....."Treat others how you would want to be treated."

Albert Lazo, PT, MPT

"Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me." Abbreviated from Jack Kerouac.

I'm gonna teach myself to play the guitar. If that doesn't go according to plan, I'll play Guitar Hero on the XBox.l;)

Back Health 101 - Exercise Tips!

Morning Stretches to do before you get out of bed....

These SIMPLE STRETCHES can help make your morning and day better,

plus hydrate your fascia!

Rx: Best if completed daily and consistently.

Double Knees to Chest

Gently pull one knee to chest and then pull the other knee to chest. Hold both knees to chest for 30-60 sec while you complete slow, deep breathing. Once completed, put one foot down at a time.

Knee Cross Over Stretch

Gently bring one leg up and cross your ankle over the opposite knee. Gently pull your knee to opposite cheek bone. Once there, then gently push your bottom knee out to side into your ankle. You might have to walk your bottom foot over to the side a little for a better stretch. Hold 30-60 sec while you inhale and exhale nice and slow.

Arms and Leg Reach Out

Carefully extend both arms overhead, then one leg, then the other leg and stretch out while you inhale and exhale. Only reach out as far as no discomfort. You may have to keep your knees bent if it bothers your back too much. You usually will feel a nice stretch. It reminds me of my dog stretching out when they get up from sleeping. You'll feel energized!!
