💼 Workplace Wednesday 💼

Did you know that small posture habits at work can have a big impact on how your body feels by the end of the day? Sitting for long periods, poor desk setup, and repetitive movements can all contribute to neck, shoulder, and back pain.

✨ Workplace Tip:
Take short movement breaks every 30–60 minutes. Simple stretches and posture checks can help reduce stiffness, improve circulation, and prevent aches before they start.

Your body works hard for you all day. Taking care of it at work matters just as much 💪

🧘‍♀️ Sunday Stretch 🧘‍♂️

Stretch of the Week: Standing Calf & Ankle Stretch

This simple stretch is great for improving ankle mobility, reducing stiffness, and supporting balance and walking mechanics 👣

🔹 How to do it:
1️⃣ Stand facing a wall and place your hands on it for support
2️⃣ Step one foot back, keeping that heel flat on the ground
3️⃣ Bend the front knee while keeping the back leg straight
4️⃣ You should feel a gentle stretch in the calf and ankle of the back leg
5️⃣ Hold for 20–30 seconds, then switch sides

🔹 Benefits:
✔️ Improves ankle mobility
✔️ Reduces calf tightness
✔️ Supports walking, running, and balance
✔️ Helpful for plantar fasciitis and ankle discomfort

✨ Tip: Breathe deeply and keep the stretch comfortable, never painful

⚡ E-Stim: Therapeutic Relief Backed by Clinical Efficacy ⚡

What is E-stim?
E-stim (Electrical Stimulation) is a proven physical therapy treatment that uses gentle electrical currents delivered through electrodes placed on the skin. These currents stimulate nerves and muscles to help:

✅ Reduce pain and discomfort
✅ Improve blood flow 🩸
✅ Accelerate the healing process ⏱️
✅ Retrain muscles for better strength, function, and tolerance to activity 💪

What conditions can E-stim help with?
E-stim is commonly and effectively used for:
✔️ Ligament sprains
✔️ Muscle strains
✔️ Joint pain
✔️ Low back pain (one of the most common uses)
✔️ Post-operative recovery 🏥
✔️ Muscle retraining to improve strength and mobility

Types of E-stim we use:
⚡ TENS Unit – Focuses on pain relief and is commonly used at home with a compact device
⚡ NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) – Helps retrain and strengthen weak or inactive muscles
⚡ IFC (Interferential Current) – A clinic-based treatment widely used for pain relief and deep tissue stimulation

✨ E-stim is a safe, effective, and evidence-based tool that helps patients move better, feel better, and recover faster.

✨ Fun Fact: Burch Physical Therapy offers aquatic rehabilitation, which means patients can use the therapeutic properties of water to move, build strength, and improve balance with less impact on joints than traditional land-based therapy. This water-based approach makes recovery more comfortable and effective for many people!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“ My doctor recommended I try physical therapy when I brought up having ankle pain and weakness during my annual exam. She referred me to Burch and I jumped into physical therapy for my ankle. Gavin was great! Very understanding and genuinely listened to me about my concerns. My pain and weakness has gone and I have a plan for success and support for my ankle going forward. I couldn’t be more happy with my experience. ”

New Year, Stronger You 💪

As January 1st approaches, many of us start thinking about how we want to feel in the year ahead—stronger, healthier, more energized, and more confident.

If improving your health is one of your goals for the New Year, here are a few principles to keep in mind:

✨ Start with movement you enjoy

Consistency beats intensity. Whether it’s strength training, walking, cycling, or cardio classes—find movement that fits your life and keeps you coming back.

✨ Build strength for life

Strength training isn’t just about lifting heavier—it’s about improving joint health, protecting against injury, and making everyday activities easier. Use it or lose it!

✨ Support your body with better nutrition

Healthy eating doesn’t mean perfection. Focus on balance, fueling your workouts, staying hydrated, and building habits you can maintain long-term.

✨ Small habits create big change

Sleep, stress management, daily steps, and recovery all matter. Sustainable progress comes from stacking small wins over time.

✨ Set goals—but stay flexible

Progress isn’t linear. Give yourself grace, adjust when needed, and remember that showing up consistently is success.

The New Year doesn’t require a complete overhaul—just a commitment to moving forward, one step at a time. Here’s to a healthier, stronger year ahead. 🎉

A new year is right around the corner, and now is the perfect time to set yourself up for a strong start in 2026 💪✨

New year prep is not just about goals. It is about taking care of your body so you can move, feel, and live better all year long. Physical therapy can help you build strength, improve mobility, and address aches or injuries before they turn into setbacks.

Starting 2026 strong means:
• Improving strength and flexibility
• Preventing injuries before they happen
• Recovering fully from past pain or surgeries
• Moving with confidence in everyday life

Whether your goals include getting back to the gym, keeping up with your kids, or simply waking up without pain, physical therapy creates a foundation that lasts beyond January.

Let this be the year you prioritize your health, movement, and long term well being. Your future body will thank you 🙌

TheraTubing might look simple, but it is one of the most effective tools we use in physical therapy 💪🟢

These elastic resistance bands help build strength, improve flexibility, and restore functional movement in a controlled and joint friendly way. They allow us to gradually increase resistance as you get stronger, which is especially important during injury recovery or post surgical rehab.

TheraTubing is commonly used to:
• Improve muscle strength and endurance
• Increase range of motion and flexibility
• Support joint stability and balance
• Retrain proper movement patterns
• Customize exercises for all fitness levels

Because the resistance adapts to how much force you apply, TheraTubing works just as well for beginners as it does for athletes. It is also lightweight and portable, making it perfect for home exercise programs between visits.

At physical therapy, we use tools like TheraTubing with purpose, ensuring every movement supports your recovery and long term success. Small tools. Big results. 🙌
