“Does Weather Really Affect Pain?”
Is your pain worse when the weather changes? You’re not imagining it!
Shifts in barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity can sometimes influence how our joints and muscles feel — especially if you have arthritis, an old injury, chronic pain, or recovering from surgery.
What’s happening:
☁️ Lower pressure can make tissues expand slightly, increasing joint stiffness or soreness.
🌡️ Cold weather may reduce blood flow and tighten muscles, making movement harder.
💧 Humidity might affect inflammation and sensitivity in some people.
But here’s the good news: you can stay active and manage pain in any season.
    •    Keep joints warm with layers and gentle movement
    •    Try indoor stretching or low-impact exercise
    •    Stay hydrated and maintain regular activity
At Pan Am Rehabilitation Services, our physiotherapists can help you find strategies to manage weather-related pain and keep moving comfortably all year round.

Ooooooooof what an amazing dive into Menopause with Kim Vaccaro, PT and Physiotherapist Fellow at Pan Am Sport Medicine Rounds. ‘Strength Training and the Menopause Transition. Kim presented so much valuable information about the large population of women we see who are Perimenopausal, in Menopause Transition, and Post Menopausal. Kim gave an excellent view into the changes in hormone activity, how they affect our bodies (think: SIGNIFICANT) and how we can strength training through this transition. 
Sport Medicine Rounds are an invaluable part of being part of the Pan Am Clinic. and allowing Pan Am Rehab Services clinicians to further their knowledge from our peers, and from the Sport Med Docs at the Pan Am Clinic. If you would like to attend, please reach out to slarkins@panamclinic.com to receive the link for the Rounds that occur on Thursday Mornings, once a month.

What more can we say? Our goal is to improve your quality of life, life with your kids, grandkids, pets, and loved ones. As we’ve heard, strength helps determine our 80 year old life in more ways than our ability to get out of a chair, or bend down to pick up our grandchildren, it also helps our brain function; staving off dementia to the best of our abilities. 
If you are struggling with a nagging injury, have sustained a new one, or concerned about your balance this is your hint to GET IN TOUCH!!!!

Let’s talk about pain briefly.....Pain is so complex, in fact it seems strange to talk about it in short order. But one of the more important aspects of managing a patient’s pain is EDUCATION. When we know WHY things hurt, things make more sense, and education wins out over fear. 
🚫 MYTH: “If it hurts, you’re making things worse.”
✅ FACT: Pain is complex — it can signal sensitivity, stress, or weakness, not necessarily damage.
Our physiotherapists help you understand your pain and move safely — not fear movement.
Knowledge is power. Movement is recovery.

💡 Desk workers/Work From Home folks — this one’s for you!
Long hours sitting can tighten your hips and strain your back.
Try this every hour:
🧘 5 shoulder ‘sets’ with a chin tuck
🌬️ 3 deep breaths, arms overhead
Talk a short walk or stand for 5 mins for every hour of sitting. 
These micro-breaks can prevent stiffness and boost focus.

Why Gradual Change Works Better Than “Cold Turkey” 🧠✨
While quitting a habit all at once can seem brave, research shows that gradual change often leads to better long-term success.
Here’s why:
✅ Reduced withdrawal symptoms — your body and brain have time to adjust.
✅ Less emotional stress — small steps feel more manageable.
✅ Higher success rates — slow, steady progress helps build lasting routines.
✅ More flexibility — you can learn and adapt as you go.
Changing habits takes time — and that’s okay. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s sustainable progress. 💛

🌿 Nature: The Best Kind of Therapy 🌿
Sometimes, all you need is a little fresh air and a dose of green. 🍃
A walk in the park, the sound of the waves, or sunshine on your face — nature has a way of calming the mind and lifting the spirit. ☀️💚
🌸 Reduces stress
🌲 Boosts mood
🌊 Improves focus
🌻 Restores energy
Step outside today — breathe, move, and let nature work its magic. 🌞✨
At Pan Rehab Services we are committed to helping you with any injury, but also maintaining wellness. If your clinician is talking about the importance of activity, consider getting immersed in Nature to help support your commitment to regular activity. Your future older self will thank you!

Spondylo....What? ...listhesis...lysis...losis
Do We See Eye to Eye?
Dr Peter Nemeth and Terry Woodard, PT went head-to-head at Sport Medicine Rounds last Thursday morning on all things Spondylo.....what?!?!?!?

Having two of our most knowledgeable clinicians at the Pan Am Clinic talk about diagnosis, management, and treatment of spondys was so valuable from a learning perspective. Medicine is rarely black and white, and these clinical discussions are integral to our Truly Complete Care model; it is not simply sharing the same chart, but sharing our respective knowledge to give you the best outcomes possible.

Clinicians, please join us on Thursday mornings via Teams or live in person.
And if you’re struggling with pain or injury, gives us a call and get started with us.

There is so much information out there about Vitamin D, sometimes it is difficult to w**d through! Head to the link in bio to read a blog about Vitamin D. Vitamin D acts as a hormone, a steroid prohormone specifically, and also a nutrient. The body produces it when sunlight hits the skin, and it is then converted into its active form, calcitriol, by the liver and kidneys. Vitamin D’s hormonal functions include regulating calcium absorption for bone health, supporting the immune system, and influencing muscle and nerve function.
So head to to read more on Vitamin D and its role in increasing bone density.
