Get ready, Brunswick! 🐻‍❄️🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️

The Polar Bear Sprint Triathlon & Duathlon is coming to Bowdoin College on Saturday, May 2 —and it’s the *perfect* way to kick off triathlon season in New England!

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned athlete, this race offers a unique, beginner-friendly format with a pool swim (525 yards), 11.5-mile bike, and 3-mile run—no cold open water required 🙌

💥 Why we love it at Accel PT:
• Great early-season goal to stay motivated
• Ideal for all levels—especially first-time triathletes
• Safe, controlled swim environment
• Fast, fun course on a beautiful campus

We’re excited to support our local endurance community—if you’re racing, make sure you’re training smart, staying injury-free, and recovering well!

Wellness Wednesday ⌨️🤲

The ligaments in your wrist provide essential stability for fine motor movements and weight-bearing through your hands. Poor keyboard ergonomics and slouched posture can strain these ligaments, leading to pain, numbness, or long-term wrist issues. Maintaining proper wrist alignment, taking breaks, and supporting good posture are simple but powerful ways to protect your wrists and keep your hands healthy.

Dealing with tight wrists or forearm tension? Try this simple stretch you can do anywhere:

✨ Hold one arm out in front of you with your palm facing the ceiling and elbow straight
✨ Use your opposite hand to gently pull the fingers down
✨ Stop when you feel a comfortable stretch through the wrist and forearm
✨ Hold for 20–30 seconds and breathe

👉 Want a slightly different stretch? Try the same movement with your elbow bent to target the muscles a bit differently.

Consistency matters—your wrists will thank you!

Ever wonder what keeps your wrist stable when you type, lift, or catch a ball? It’s your wrist ligaments—strong bands of tissue that connect your wrist bones and guide safe movement. Here’s the basics:

1️⃣ Collateral Ligaments (Sides of the wrist):

Radial Collateral Ligament (thumb side): Stops your wrist from bending too far toward the thumb.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament (pinky side): Stops your wrist from bending too far toward the pinky.

2️⃣ Dorsal & Volar (top and bottom) Ligaments:

Dorsal Ligaments (back of the wrist): Keep the wrist bones stable when your hand moves.

Volar Ligaments (palm side): Support the wrist when you push, press, or lift.

💡 Tip: Healthy ligaments + strong forearm and hand muscles = a wrist that’s ready for anything—workouts, sports, or daily tasks.

✨ Meet the Team: Lara from our Topsham clinic!

As the friendly face at the front desk, Lara helps guide patients from their very first step into physical therapy and keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Now in her third year with Accel, she loves being part of each patient’s journey from day one.

☕️ Fun fact: Her mornings always start strong with a go-to espresso boost to kick off the day!

Say hi to Lara next time you’re in! 👋

Spring is nature’s reminder to slow down, step outside, and just breathe 🌸

As the seasons change, so does what’s blooming around us. It starts with the early risers — snowdrops and crocuses — pushing through the last of winter. Then come the bright daffodils, followed by tulips, flowering trees, and all the vibrant colors that make spring in Maine so special.

This is your gentle nudge to unplug from your phone, get outside, and take it in. Time outdoors can lower stress, lift your mood, and help your body reset in ways that no screen ever could. Even a short walk to admire the blossoms can support healthy movement and leave you feeling more energized and grounded.

At Accel Physical Therapy, we believe wellness isn’t just what happens in the clinic — it’s built in small, intentional moments every day. 🌷

Keep your ankles and shins feeling loose and ready to move! 👣

Try this simple standing lunge stretch:
➡️ Step into a lunge position
➡️ Keep your back knee **straight** to stretch the calf (gastroc)
➡️ Then bend the back knee to target the deeper calf muscle (soleus)

Just a few reps can help improve flexibility, reduce tightness, and keep you moving comfortably throughout your day or workouts.

Small stretches = big difference. 💪

⚡️ Did you know your ankle ligaments react in milliseconds during sports like soccer?

Every quick cut, pivot, or sudden change in direction puts your ankles to the test. Even in a casual pickup game, your body is performing high-speed movements that require strength, stability, and coordination. 🏃‍♂️⚽️

At Accel Physical Therapy, we often see injuries that happen not because someone wasn’t “fit”—but because their body wasn’t trained for **agility and speed under pressure**.

💡 Here’s the key:
Training isn’t just for competitive athletes. If you play recreationally, adding agility drills, balance work, and reaction training can help your ligaments respond faster and protect your joints when it matters most.

Strong, responsive ankles = fewer sprains and more time doing what you love.

Stay quick. Stay stable. Stay in the game. 💪
