Using a tennis ball or accupoint balls for pain relief. Typically this can be a little uncomfortable, but should never be above 4/10.

Other areas, calf muscles, runners in lower achilles region, forearm tension, and shared here posterior shoulder, posterior hip/piriformis, and transverse arch of the foot.

**If these are painful, please reach out for further help in order to do safe exercises/pain relief for your specific needs.

Hello Everyone!!

I gave out some free door prizes at Adario Township Hall play this year, buuuttt....how do you use them? Do you have foam rollers, yoga blocks or a tennis ball at home and not sure how to use them? I am going to show you a few ways that I use them in the clinic.

**Disclaimer: Depending on where your pain is and what you are feeling, I'd choose specific exercises to treat those things. So...doing these exercises or using this equiptment in these ways does not mean it will solve all of your pain, but these are ways that I choose to use with my clients depending on where they are at in the process of healing.

Interested in attending the play this weekend? call 419.895.1030 for ticket information

Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I posted. We moved our residence 2x in one year...which has been BUSY! We are still treating clients in the clinic, I just have not been showing all that online.

In the next few weeks, we will be posting video's to share a few of the ways to use my favorite -at home- equipment for mobility, strengthening and stability. I cannot show ALL the ways I use this in the clinic, because these videos would be pretty long. However, I will show a few unique ways I like to use them to help progress my clients a little faster when they do their home program. Stay tuned to watch those videos.

I did share in the past a few other videos to show other ways as you can look into the past videos if you are interested in even more ways to use them.

If you are interested in tickets to attend the family friendly play in Adario call 419.895.1030 to get tickets. Tickets are 5 dollars a piece. ;)

How are you moving today?

I don't always get a nice 45 min walk in everyday with this view, but I do try and move everyday, somehow. Yoga, Pilates, walking, jogging, strength training, running through the sprinkler with your kids, and some days, cleaning is my movement because well, my kids need me.

But consistency is key, everyday, little steps towards your goals.

Comment on how you are moving today :) #

After an initial evaluation, checking in with clients gives us the opportunity to connect after their initial session.

✅Making sure exercises are going well.
✅Checking the status of their symptoms.
✅Answer any questions that may have come up

We like that our clients have direct access to their provider. You don't have to go through a front desk, or an assistant, you just speak directly to your provider.
