Pet of the Week: Louie! ☀️
Meet Louie, our laid-back lab mix who’s clearly mastered the art of self-care. Caught snoozing on a sunny pillow on the couch, Louie is truly living his best life 😴✨

Believe it or not, napping has real health benefits—it can improve mood, boost energy, support muscle recovery, and help the body recharge. Louie knows what’s up.

📍 From all of us at Accel Physical Therapy, take a note from Louie—rest is part of recovery.

NFL Playoff time!

If you know Accel then you know Scott is a huge fan and carries a lot of stress this time of year.

One of our patients, a Broncos fan clearly, decided to have a little fun at his visit this week after seeing Scott’s jacket.

Scott is hoping to add a patch to his jacket someday. Oh, that team from New England plays this weekend too. Who do you have winning this weekend?

Fresh Air & Frozen Views 🌊
With temperatures bouncing above and below freezing, the rivers are starting to ice over—and the views are incredible. Getting outside for a walk along the river is a great way to move your body, clear your mind, and enjoy the beauty of the season.

Even a short walk can help loosen stiff joints, boost circulation, and improve your mood—especially during colder months.

📍 From all of us at Accel Physical Therapy, bundle up, stay safe, and keep moving!

📱 Tech Neck:
Your head weighs about 10–12 pounds in a neutral, upright position.
But when you look down into your lap, that load can increase to 30–60 pounds on your neck and shoulders 😳

This forward-head position is common with phone and tablet use—earning the nickname “tech neck.” Over time, it can lead to neck pain, headaches, stiffness, and poor posture.

Tips to protect your neck:
✔️ Keep screens closer to eye level
✔️ Take frequent posture check-ins
✔️ Limit total daily screen time when possible
✔️ Take movement breaks every 30–60 minutes

📍 At Accel Physical Therapy, we help treat tech neck and teach strategies to reduce strain—so your neck doesn’t have to carry more than it should.

Neck Muscle Anatomy 101 💪
The neck may not look muscular, but it’s packed with muscles that support posture, movement, and stability every day.

🔹 Anterior (Front/Throat Muscles):
• Sternocleidomastoid (SCM): Rotates and flexes the head—often tight with poor posture or stress
• Scalenes (Anterior, Middle, Posterior): Assist with neck movement and breathing
• Suprahyoid & Infrahyoid muscles: Support swallowing, speech, and jaw/neck coordination

🔹 Posterior (Back of Neck Muscles):
• Upper Trapezius: Helps extend and side-bend the neck
• Levator Scapulae: Elevates the shoulder blade and assists neck rotation
• Splenius Capitis & Cervicis: Extend and rotate the head
• Suboccipital muscles: Small but powerful muscles crucial for head positioning and stability

✨ When these muscles aren’t working in harmony, pain, stiffness, and headaches can follow.

📍 At Accel Physical Therapy, we assess all sides of the neck to restore strength, mobility, and function—so you can move confidently again.

Ski Season & Arm Pain? Let’s Talk About It. ❄️

Cross-country or downhill skiing shouldn’t leave you with aching forearms, elbows, or wrists. That repetitive pole use can overload your arms—especially when there’s weakness or poor control in the scapular (shoulder blade) region and over-dominance of the anterior shoulder and elbow muscles.

👉 The good news? This kind of pain is often very treatable with the right strength, mobility, and movement strategy.

If arm pain is getting in the way of your next skiing adventure, Accel Physical Therapy is here to help you get back on the slopes feeling strong and supported.

📲 Reach out to schedule an appointment and ski smarter this season.
