Thinking about getting back into running? 🏃‍♀️

Whether you’re starting fresh or returning after time off, the key is building a strong foundation—not rushing the process. Progress comes from consistency, smart training, and taking care of your body along the way.

Here’s a beginner-friendly checklist to help you ease in safely:

✅ Start with walk/run intervals (ex: 1 min jog / 2–3 min walk)
✅ Keep efforts easy—conversational pace only
✅ Begin each session with a dynamic warm-up (leg swings, light lunges, marching)
✅ Add basic strength training 2–3x per week (glutes, core, calves)
✅ Prioritize good form (upright posture, relaxed arms, soft landings)
✅ Increase time or distance gradually (small weekly progress)
✅ Schedule rest and recovery days (they’re essential, not optional)
✅ Wear supportive, well-fitting running shoes
✅ Listen to your body—pain is a signal, not something to push through
✅ Stay consistent over chasing speed or distance early on

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s building a habit your body can handle and sustain long-term. 👟

💪✨ Your pelvic floor is part of a powerful core system that supports your spine, bladder, and daily movement. When these muscles aren’t working well, you may notice leaks, pressure, back pain, or core weakness. ✨💪

Here are 3 foundational exercises we often use in pelvic floor and core rehabilitation:

🔹 360 Breathing – Helps coordinate the diaphragm, deep core, and pelvic floor for proper pressure control. 🌬️

🔹 Core Brace Isometric – Builds stability by activating the deep abdominal muscles that support your spine and pelvic floor. 🧘‍♀️

🔹 Bird Dog – A functional stability exercise that strengthens the core while improving balance and coordination. 🐦🐕

These exercises can be helpful for many people, but the right approach depends on your specific condition, symptoms, and movement patterns.

If you’d like guidance on what’s most appropriate for you, reach out to schedule an assessment with the physical therapists at Burch Physical Therapy. We’re here to help you move, feel, and function better. 💚

DME may include braces, supports, compression sleeves, walking aids, and other therapeutic equipment recommended by your physical therapist. When used properly, these tools help protect injured areas, encourage proper movement, reduce strain, and support long term healing.

Our therapists recommend DME based on your individual needs so you can continue progressing outside the clinic with confidence.

👍 Support Your Thumb, Support Your Life! 👍

Struggling with thumb pain during everyday tasks like gripping, pinching, or opening jars? A CMC stabilizer (thumb brace) might be exactly what you need!

💡 What is a CMC Stabilizer?
It’s a supportive brace designed to protect the thumb’s base joint (carpometacarpal joint), helping reduce strain while still allowing functional movement.

✨ Benefits of a CMC Stabilizer:
✔️ Reduces pain and inflammation
✔️ Improves grip and pinch strength
✔️ Supports proper joint alignment
✔️ Helps prevent further irritation or injury
✔️ Allows you to stay active in daily tasks

🖐️ Who Can Benefit?

Individuals with thumb arthritis

Those experiencing hand or wrist pain

Anyone who performs repetitive gripping or pinching tasks

💪 Pair It With Therapy
A brace works best when combined with targeted exercises to strengthen the hand and improve mobility—helping you get long-term relief, not just a quick fix.

Don’t let thumb pain slow you down—there are solutions to keep you moving comfortably!

🌸 Spring Cleaning Tips + Move Better While You Do It! 🌸

Spring cleaning season is here! While you’re refreshing your home, don’t forget to protect your body, too. Cleaning can be a full-body workout—so let’s do it the right way 👇

🧹 Declutter First
Less clutter = less strain. Take time to sort items before deep cleaning.

🧽 Clean Smart (Top to Bottom)
Avoid extra work by starting high and finishing with floors—your body will thank you!

💪 Use Proper Lifting Mechanics
When picking things up:
✔️ Bend your knees
✔️ Keep items close to your body
✔️ Avoid twisting while lifting

🪟 Add Movement Breaks
Turn cleaning into mini exercise sessions:
🔹 Do a few squats while picking things up
🔹 Stretch your arms and shoulders between tasks
🔹 Take short breaks to avoid overuse

🧘 Stretch It Out
After cleaning, try gentle stretches for your back, hips, and shoulders to reduce stiffness and soreness.

⚠️ Listen to Your Body
If something hurts—don’t push through it. Pain is your body’s way of asking for a better approach.

Spring cleaning doesn’t have to leave you sore! With the right movements and habits, you can refresh your space and feel great doing it 💚

Need help moving pain-free? We’re here for you!

✨ The Hidden Impact of Poor Posture — and How Physical Therapy Can Fix It ✨

In today’s digital world 💻📱, poor posture has quietly become one of the most common—and overlooked—causes of pain. Whether you’re working at a desk, scrolling on your phone, or commuting for long hours 🚗, the way you hold your body matters more than you might think.

Posture isn’t just about sitting up straight—it affects how your muscles, joints, and spine function every single day 🧠💪. Poor alignment can place extra stress on certain areas of the body, leading to discomfort and long-term issues.

⚠️ Common effects of poor posture include:
• Neck and shoulder pain 😣
• Chronic headaches 🤕
• Lower back discomfort 🪑
• Reduced flexibility and mobility 🚶‍♂️
• Fatigue from inefficient muscle use 😴

Over time, these issues can turn into more serious conditions if left unaddressed ⏳.

💙 Burch Physical Therapy offers a proactive, personalized approach to correcting posture and relieving pain. Call us today 📞 to schedule an appointment! Our skilled Physical Therapists will assess your movement patterns, muscle imbalances, and daily habits to create a targeted plan just for you.

👉 Your body will thank you!
