As the end of the year approaches, we become busier and busier leaving important things such as rest and exercise to the side. While you may get invited out, or be hosting events in the next few weeks, you will need to remember to schedule time for yourself, otherwise any events you have planned may not be as enjoyable as they could be.

stretch of the month
|
|
side quad (iliotibia tract) stretch
 Foam rollers are excellent tools for stretching, trigger point therapy as well as a balance training. Stretches are typically good for getting the muscle belly or the center of most muscles. With foam rollers you can stretch out the tendinous insertion points while also targeting the areas for fascial release.

the pilates group
 Many patients who come in for care often benefit by complementing their care with exercise. One such exercise is Pilates. We spoke with Elizabeth Burke of The Pilates Group to find out more about Pilates and its benefits.

new product

foam rollers
 Due to its increasing popularity, we will soon be carrying 6"x12" foam rollers (as used in stretch mentioned above). If you have any specific questions as to how this would benefit you, please do not hesitate to ask at your next appointment. |
