Come relax with us this Wellness Wednesday 🧘‍♀️🫁

Breathing is an autonomic response just like your heart rate and digestion. However breathing unique in that it can be conciously controlled and you can voluntarily change your breathing patterns.

This allows you to use various techniques to influence your body’s state. Incorporating breathing techniques into your daily schedule can have lasting effects when it comes to managing stress and tension.

Many of us make time to exercise on a regular basis so why not incorporate and effective & time efficient habit into your routine of conscious breathing. This has profound health benefits and takes little practice and time to master!

Wellness Wednesday: Happy Feet 👣 👟

Shoes aren’t “one size fits all” and it is important to find shoes that fit your feet and arch type:

-low
-normal
-high

Finding your fit supports your alignment, arches, and reduces stress on your joints.

See the slides above to see how to identify your arch type and what support to look for!

This information was overviewed by our therapists and consulted with the CLS Health website. Please visit their site for more information!

Happy Wednesday! Todays wellness topic is about… Daily Movement 🧘‍♀️🤸🏋️👟

Did you you know daily movement and exercise can have many benefits in all aspects of your life?

Planning to exercise everyday can seem daunting and sometimes not possible. But it doesn’t have to be so scary! And doesn’t mean you need a gym membership.

As little as 30 minutes per day of moving your body can have incredible benefits! And you don’t have to complete it all at once.

Some daily exercise can include:
- Taking the stairs instead of an elevator
- Going on a walk around the block on your break
- Finding a fun exercise class you enjoy
- Bring a friend, spouse, or child with you to exercise
- Picking up a new hobby like pickle ball, cycling, hiking, yoga, or pilaties

Take a break and move your body, you deserve it!

Wellness Wednesday: Hydration Edition 💧

The impact of staying hydrated has moved toward a future in the health and wellness arena in the past decade. Most Americans have access to clean water with the turn of a k**b or push of a button. We can drink it straight up, on the rocks, bubbly, or with added flavor. It all counts! No matter the easiest way for you to get your water intake, the important part is staying hydrated!

If flavored drinks is something you enjoy, you can spice up your water with lemons, cucumber, lime… etc. Make it fun!

Here are some common misconceptions:

❌ If you’re no thirsty, you are properly hydrated
✅ Fluid levels in your body can drop fairly low before you feel thirst
❌ Sports drinks are the best way to keep you hydrated
✅ Sports drinks can help after a hard workout by replacing electrolytes. But they often have additives or fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and added sugar.

After a little break… Wellness Wednesdays are back! 🧘🤸🏋️

Today we are busting the fitness myth that stretching prior to exercise will prevent injury. The best time to stretch is after activity performance!

Why? Static stretching has been shown to reduce strength and power stored in a muscle. Since reduced strength is a risk factor for soft tissue injury we want to make sure that our muscles are prepared to perform their best.

What should I do instead? An activity specific dynamic warm up can help to warm up your joints and muscles.

Please remember to consult with your therapist if you have any questions or concerns!
