Scheduling Changes, Please Read

Hey, all! And Happy Sunny Monday. I wanted to post about a big scheduling change as well as some helpful items when scheduling online.

1. New Patient Appointments are now on a rolling schedule. What this means is that New Patients are only able to schedule at certain times every 4-6 weeks. Now, I understand the challenge this can hold for those looking to get in quickly. But! You can get onto the waitlist to potentially get in sooner. This truly allows me to focus on more tailored care to see established patients in a timely manner.

2. Use the waitlist! This is a PSA for new AND existing patients 😄 Sometimes it doesn't work out, but when it does...👏

3. For existing patients: Take advantage of the 20 minute appointment if you are seeing limited availability. A lot of the time it is better to be seen sooner if something is flared or feeling worse.

4. For existing patients with New Injuries: Please schedule the appointment type listed as "Existing Patient New Injury"

5. As often as you can wear or bring loose clothing into your appointment. I can work around anything, but it is helpful to be able to more easily work areas without constriction. Think: sweats, shorts, baggy tees, tanks, very stretchy leggings

Real Talk: Pilates is changing my life right now. No exaggerations. I took my first class on the reformer in February and have been hooked since. In fact, I just finished a 9:30 class this morning at Pilates Olympia. As much as i hate to publicly admit, it has been a while since I have consistently kept up with something in regards to exercise. Activity levels and nutritional changes have been consistent for 6 months now - there is so much to be proud of. I will say, this is the best I have felt in my physical (and emotional) body in years.

I am thankful to live, work and play in environments that can better cultivate safety, comfort, ease, resilience and challenge.

I gently urge you all to work on doing the same if you aren't already. And how cool is it that it can look so different for us all?!

And gosh dang it, try Pilates 🤣 it's incredible.

Hey 👋
Have you given the first video of Move & Elevate a try?

This free resource allows you to follow along with me for the rest of the year: creating better movement quality and body resilience. A new video will come out each month progressing from the first and adding elements that compliment one another.

It is recommended to complete these movements 2-5 times per week. If something doesn't work for you - skip it! Take what does and leave the rest. Email me at drsam@clevengerchiro.com with any questions.

START HERE:

This is the first video in a year-long series. The overall goal is to give you a tool to use to help feel better, move better, and build resilience. This ser...

I love adding pretty things to my office.

1. Functional, easy on bare feet that may have a hard time on hard surfaces, and easy to clean

2. Foxglove vase & dried lavender: just cause 🥰

Spring is here! And so is the Move & Elevate 2026 series. This series will consist of monthly videos for the entirety of the year, guiding you through a progression of movements to help the body feel better, move better; and become more resilient to stress, wear and tear, and injury.

For this first video we are staying low to the ground as we awaken from winter or as a check in to see how the body is feeling.

Everything will be laid out in a manner to where you can follow along at your own pace, completing the movements 2-5 times throughout the week OR take the pieces you need and leave the rest.

This can be a great way to add movement into your week or to supplement other movement, training and exercise.

If you are interested in participating or having access to this free series please send me a message here on Facebook or email me at drsam@clevengerchiro.com.

Its the best time of the year in sports! Here's a helpful post from last year to help with being glued to the edge of your seat cheering on Cinderella stories and diaper dandies... gritting your teeth and clenched fists through barn burners... 😄🏀🏀🏀

Ah, yes. The most magical time of the year is upon us. Diaper dandies & busted brackets. Cinderella stories vs tournament giants. Buzzer beaters & multiple overtimes. What's not to love??

Because of this you may find yourself sitting more than usual or stuck in one spot for the entirety of a half or whole game. If you're getting up with muscle and joint stiffness or soreness - you need to be adding a little more movement in during this time.

Here are some suggestions to help beat symptoms of being stuck in your seat.

🏀 schedule and keep workouts
🏀 take a walk during halftime (or play with the kids, the pup, get some cleaning or work done)
🏀 foam roll or work on mobility during the game
🏀 add in your favorite exercises during games or to commercials
🏀 get tasks done during the 1st half so you have your 2nd half free
🏀 stand up during the exciting times (dance, jump, shout!)
🏀 juggle (or work with hand/eye coordination in a different way) -Random but fun.
🏀 for those struggling to get water in - go guzzle some down during each timeout/commercial/halftime
🏀 switch up positions while your body is still feeling good - don't wait for symptoms to come on. Little shifts can make a big difference.

I don't always dress business casual, but when I do... I usually have to take off my shoes. Anyone else finding it hard to go back to narrow toe boxes or bo**ies or even a small heel?! 😭

While my feet and ankles are stronger and more mobile than they have been in years - i am having a hard time letting go of old footwear. I have made the switch to more naturally foot-shaped shoes, I practice creating space and resilience in my feet. And I want that resilience to work in a bo**ie or a cute pointy loafer, but they are FIGHTING back - saying "I won't let you shove us back into those tight, restrictive spaces."

Ultimately, this seemingly silly post asks; "Have you been taking care of your feet?"
And what changes have you seem take place in your feet? Or is there anything bothering or limiting how your feet feel?

Do you have a favorite shoe or band that you have made the switch to?

**For roomier shoes I have been digging Altra, but always looking to expand and have options**
