Keeping it real in my grungies, but wanted to share how to decrease back pain when vacuuming or mopping. Think of it more like dancing and weight shifting on your legs than standing still and moving your arm.
Ps. I love my steamer!!

What do wellness and TSA lines have in common?? Travel days are long—trying to keep that relaxed vibe while dealing with flight changes can be rough. We had an international connection at Houston intercontinental yesterday, and the ICE and TSA agents were amazing. It was a 2 hour line that moved pretty good, but that is a lot of standing after doing a lot of sitting. Having to manage luggage or children is another layer. The gentleman behind me finally asked for a wheelchair, he just couldn’t stand without support that long. Preparing your body for these trips makes getting home—or starting your trip that much more enjoyable. You are worth it!!

SNL sure makes some funny skits. This one is based on the hit show The Pitt that shows an emergency room and what struggles are going on in healthcare. I believe that western and alternative medicine can work togther really well, even if some people are not familiar with all the resources available to them, even in small town Fredericksburg.

Save the date for our 2nd annual Holistic health fair during the farmers market from 4-7pm on Thursday April 30th, 2026 and get to meet some of your local providers.

In the mean time, just keep laughing!!

Interesting article, where it talks about intracellular matrix, that is a component of your fascial system.

Younger colorectal cancer patients have abnormally stiff colon tissue that promotes tumor growth, pointing to biomechanical forces as a key factor in early-onset disease.

🌸 Spring is in the air, Texas! 🌸

The sunshine feels warmer, the bluebonnets are calling, and suddenly we’re all ready to get back outside—digging in the garden, pulling weeds, planting flowers, and soaking up the fresh air.

And then…
Your back is tight.
Your shoulders are sore.
Your hips and knees are reminding you it’s been a while.
Cue the frustration. 😖

If you’re feeling achy, stiff, or “out of shape” after jumping back into outdoor projects, you’re not alone. Gardening uses muscles we don’t always ask much of during the winter months—and your body may need a little support to catch up.

At Monarch Physical Therapy, we help women move better, feel better, and get back to doing what they love—without pushing through pain or ignoring those warning signs your body is giving you.

✨ Spring should feel energizing, not exhausting.
✨ You don’t have to live with soreness as “just part of getting older.”

If your body is asking for help, we’re here—by appointment—to help you enjoy this season fully. 🦋

**full disclosure--I know this is probably false spring and we will have another freeze, and these bluebonnets are a pic from 2017!!

If the shades are up, I’m in the office. If the door is also locked I’m in session. Making an appointment on line is a great way to get you in the door! Www.monarchpt.com
