Research has proven that connecting with the Earth’s natural energy can reduce or eliminate chronic pain, fatigue and other ailments that affect us daily.

Just by simply walking barefoot on grass, sand, dirt or rock can help you feel so much better. Just 20-30 minutes a day can make a HUGE difference! 🙏

15 Minutes to De-Stress #2

2. Forward Bend

Our Fascial Counterstrain and Vestibular PT, Indu, enjoys this relaxing pose.

Stand with your feet hip width apart, arms at sides. Upon inhale, bend forward from the hips. Reach hands toward the floor or grasp opposite elbows. Hold and inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6 counts.

This pose helps to:
1. Slow your breathing
2. Reduces stress, anxiety and fatigue
3. Calms the mind and soothes the nerves
4. Relieves tension in the spine, neck and back
5. Stretch your hips, hamstrings and calves.
6. Strengthen your thighs and knees.
7. Activates the abdominal muscles, too.

Stay well our friends and feel free to reach out and connect with any questions. 🙏

Why Embody Physical Therapy?

Patient testimonial:
“When my doctor recommended I go to PT I told her I didn’t think it would work. I have been to SO many PT clinics over the years and haven’t gotten better. They treat as though they were treating from a text book, not treating or understanding ME. My Dr. said that you treat outside the box and take a holistic, whole body approach. I’m sold!” - Andrea K.

It’s true! Here at EmbodyPT we treat the whole body. We offer full one hour sessions with a DPT, no assistants or aides. No gym equipment. One on one personalized care tailored to YOU and your individual needs.
