Chronic chest breathing can lead to increased tension in the neck, pec tightness, and reduced rib mobility over time. This type of breathing can often been seen in a heightened nervous state such as our “fight or flight” response.

🫁 Diaphragmatic breathing has been shown to improve relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, or as other people know it as, our “rest and digest” response.

Try these three exercises to help induce a more relaxed state!

If you’re having mobility issues, difficulty relaxing, or have been living with chronic pain, come visit us at Atlantic physical therapy for an initial consultation! 💪🏼 ✨

🎾 Play Stronger, Hurt Less!

Pickleball Injury Clinics at .pickleball with Dr. Michelle Friedman- a fully licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy and owner of Atlantic Physical Therapy who is also a very good, 4.0+ level pickleball player- so she really understands the game and the injuries it can cause.

If you’ve been feeling that nagging elbow pain or tightness in your Achilles after long matches, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to just “play through it.”

Join Dr. Friedman for two focused, performance-based injury clinics at Bounce Center City, designed specifically for competitive and recreational pickleball players who want to recover faster, prevent re-injury, and stay on the court longer.

Clinic 1: Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Date: Monday, November 10th from 6:30-7:30pm

Learn what causes tennis elbow, how to load and rehab the tendon properly, and key on-court modifications (like using a two-handed backhand) to reduce strain.

The bear crawl hold truly is a full body exercise! It’s great for improving core strength, quad engagement, and shoulder stability. The hold itself is a great exercise but here are a few variations we love to give patients to make things more challenging!

Turnout isn’t just about flexibility — it’s about strength and control in and out of hip rotation 🩰 Physical therapy can help dancers improve turnout by targeting hip mobility and strength, core stability, and muscle balance. These two exercises are some of our favorites!

We would like to officially introduce our newest PT, Dr. Ayana Unwala!✨

Dr. Ayana joined Atlantic Physical Therapy after graduating from Temple University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program in spring of 2025. During her time in the DPT program, Ayana was actively involved in both clinical and academic initiatives. She volunteered at Temple’s North Broad pro bono clinic, served as the head of the Career Fair Committee for her cohort, and contributed to pelvic health research alongside her professor which was later published in the Journal of Women’s and Pelvic Health Physical Therapy.

Originally from Collegeville, Pennsylvania, Ayana spent several years living abroad in Kenya and Indonesia. It was during her time in Indonesia that she had her first encounter with physical therapy and became fascinated by the body’s ability to heal through movement.

When she’s not helping patient’s achieve their goals, you can find Ayana walking along Boathouse Row or soaking up the sun in a nearby park. She enjoys spending time with friends, trying new restaurants and bars, or staying in to binge watch her favorite shows. As a former dancer and lifelong dance enthusiast, Ayana loves watching performances and plans to return to dancing soon. She loves to travel and this year will be completing her goal of visiting 25 countries in 25 years!

You can schedule with Dr. Ayana on our website at www.aptphilly.com ! ✅

✨ What is Diastasis Recti? ✨
Diastasis recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles that often happens during or after pregnancy, but it can affect anyone. It may cause core weakness, back pain, or a visible bulge in the stomach area.

💡 The good news? Physical therapy can help! With guided exercises, education, and hands-on care, we work to restore core strength, improve posture, and support your body’s healing process.

👉 Don’t ignore the signs—your core deserves care!
