Let’s be real... most of us don’t realize how much our core does until it stops doing it.

A weak or underactive core doesn’t just mean “no abs.”
It means:
– Your posture collapses by noon
– Your back feels tight after sitting too long
– Lifting anything suddenly feels harder
– Balance? What balance?

Your core’s job isn’t just to look toned, it’s to keep you stable, strong, and pain-free.

Start with breathing, control, and slow strength.
You’ll feel the difference before you even see it. 💪

Tag someone whose “bad posture” might actually be a core issue.

Thinking about trying low back exercises you’ve seen online? Great, just read this first 👇

We love sharing movement tips (this one included), but as physios, we always remind our patients:

✔️ Make sure the exercise fits your body and your condition
✔️ Pain isn’t progress, good form is
✔️ More reps don’t mean better results
✔️ Quality movement always beats what’s trending

Videos like this are a great place to start, but they should never replace personalized care when your body needs more. Move smart, and when in doubt, ask a pro.

If you’re feeling tightness in your chest, back, or sides — that’s your body telling you it needs some mobility work.

As your PT, I can tell you that consistent stretching isn’t just about flexibility. It helps reduce tension, improve posture, and prevent those minor aches from becoming bigger issues.

Start with these:
✅️ Chest stretch for tight pecs
✅️ Overhead lat stretch for your back
✅️ Side bend for your obliques

Hold each for 30 seconds, 3 rounds. You’ll be surprised what a few minutes a day can do.

I have just been informed that there are some sponsored ads appearing on Facebook that are stating that there is a class action lawsuit against my company. This is false and I will be investigating on how to take this down. I can't find the posts so if you see one please screenshot it and get it to me. Thank you.

Still dealing with that stubborn heel pain? 👣

Here’s how Shockwave Therapy can help with plantar fasciitis and why it’s more than just pain relief.

Shockwave uses targeted sound waves to kickstart healing in your plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that supports your arch.

Here’s what it does 👇
✅ Breaks down scar tissue that limits mobility
✅ Boosts blood flow to speed up repair
✅ Reduces pain and inflammation for lasting relief
✅ Stimulates new cell growth to restore healthy tissue

It doesn’t just mask the pain, it helps your foot heal so every step feels easier again.

Drop a 👣 if you’ve ever dealt with heel pain that just won’t go away.

Not dizzy like you just spun too fast…

Dizzy like:
➡️ You’re walking on a boat that won’t stop moving.
➡️ The floor feels like it’s shifting.
➡️ You feel off-balance, foggy, or disconnected from your surroundings.

That kind of dizziness often isn’t “just in your head.”
It’s vestibular, meaning your inner ear or nervous system is having trouble coordinating balance signals. 💫

Here are a few common causes:
→ Vestibular dysfunction (like BPPV or vestibular neuritis)
→ Neck or muscle tension affecting blood flow
→ Stress or anxiety amplifying balance signals
→ Shallow breathing reducing oxygen to your brain

The good news? Your body can recalibrate.
Vestibular rehab and targeted exercises can help your brain and inner ear work together again so the world feels steady once more. 💛

If dizziness has been part of your day for too long, message us, we can help you find your balance again.

Still thinking about how much fun we had at Trunk or Treat during the day on October 29th! 🎃☀️

We set up our own little spot in downtown New Brighton alongside other amazing local businesses, handed out some treats, and got to enjoy all the creative costumes, big smiles, and awesome community energy.

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by. It was such a fun way to spend the day!

Already looking forward to next year… any ideas for our next trunk theme? 👀
