🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day from INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness! 🍀

Wishing our clients, families, and community a day filled with a little luck, lots of smiles, and plenty of movement.

We feel incredibly fortunate to work with so many amazing people across Connecticut and Rhode Island—helping individuals stay active, independent, and doing the things they love.

Whether you’re getting outside for a walk, spending time with family, or simply enjoying the day, we hope today brings a bit of joy and good health your way.

Thank you for allowing INSPIRE to be part of your journey.

⭐️Did you know physical therapy can help reduce swelling and support your lymphatic system?⭐️

👏 Big congratulations to Jennifer Doerwaldt, MSPT!

Jennifer recently completed her Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Certification, expanding the specialized care we can offer at INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps move fluid through the lymphatic system and reduce swelling. It can be especially helpful for people experiencing lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, or chronic fluid retention.

We’re excited to bring this specialized service to the individuals and families we serve throughout Rhode Island and Connecticut.

If you or a loved one are experiencing swelling or have been diagnosed with lymphedema, our team would be happy to help.

Baked Falafel Sandwiches 🥙

Yes please!

This street-style falafel sandwich is herbaceous, tangy, and rich. The falafel gets perfectly crispy in the oven while the fresh veggies keep it light, simple, and fresh. Wrapping the sandwich in foil makes it a perfect bring-along lunch and helps hold everything together when you’re eating on the go.

INSPIRE Tip:
What we eat plays an important role in how we move and feel each day. Planning a few healthy meals over the weekend can help support energy, strength, and mobility throughout the week. Nutritious foods like chickpeas, fresh herbs, and vegetables help fuel an active lifestyle and support healthy aging.

Here’s what you’ll need:
• Cooking spray
• 1 (15 oz) can no-salt-added chickpeas
• ½ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• ½ cup grated red onion, plus 1 cup thinly sliced
• ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp tahini
• 1 tsp grated lemon zest
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 large clove garlic, grated
• 1 cup thinly sliced English cucumber
• 1½ tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 (10-inch) whole-wheat wraps
• 2 cups loosely packed arugula
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• Tahini sauce
• 1 lemon

Question for our community:
Do you try to plan your meals for the week ahead, or are you more of a “day-by-day” cook?

Today we celebrate National Wheelchair Day — a day that honors mobility, independence, and the power of the right equipment.

A wheelchair is not a limitation.
When properly fitted, it is freedom.

It allows someone to garden again.
To attend family gatherings.
To move safely through their home.
To access their community with confidence.

But here’s what many people don’t realize:
A wheelchair should never be “one size fits all.”

Proper seat width, depth, back support, cushion selection, footplate height, wheel alignment, and propulsion setup all matter. A poorly fitted wheelchair can lead to pain, skin breakdown, falls, postural changes, and loss of independence.

At INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness, our team specializes in custom wheelchair assessments and fittings. We collaborate with vendors, physicians, caregivers, and families to ensure each chair supports posture, safety, comfort, and long-term function.

Because the right fit doesn’t just change comfort.
It changes lives.

From home to community — independence matters.

❄️ RECORD SNOWFALL TODAY ❄️
With today’s historic snowfall, please stay safe and avoid unnecessary travel.

If you’re heading out to shovel, remember to work smarter — not harder:

✔️ Push snow instead of lifting
✔️ Keep loads light
✔️ Take frequent breaks
✔️ Clear snow early while it’s light
✔️ Listen to your body

Snow shoveling is one of the most physically demanding activities many people do all year. Back pain, shoulder strain, balance issues — and even heart stress — can happen quickly in cold weather.

INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness is a mobile practice serving CT & RI, and telehealth visits are available when travel isn’t safe. You don’t have to push through pain alone.

Stay safe and move wisely.

❄️ INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness – Weather Update ❄️

Due to the winter storm, we are closed today to ensure the safety of our clients and team.

If you have a physical therapy or occupational therapy appointment scheduled with us today, our team will be reaching out to you to reschedule later this week when possible. We are committed to maintaining your plan of care and will work with you to find the soonest and safest option, including Telehealth when appropriate.

Your safety is always our top priority. Please stay warm, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Love looks like balance.
Love looks like showing up — even on the hard days.

Whether you’re caring for someone with Parkinson’s, recovering from a joint replacement, or working toward staying active in your home — today we celebrate YOU.

💗 The caregivers.
💗 The fighters.
💗 The families.
💗 The ones choosing to age well, done differently.

From our INSPIRE family to yours — Happy Valentine’s Day.

❄️ Winter in Rhode Island at its finest ❄️

After a fresh snowfall in Westerly, everything slows down—except your care.
While the roads were snowy and the day felt still, our clients didn’t have to bundle up, scrape their cars, or stress about driving.

Their movement expert came to them.
Because movement, strength, and progress shouldn’t be put on hold for the weather.

💙 2026 Medicare Update 💙

As of January 1, 2026, the Medicare Part B deductible is $283 for Traditional Medicare (the red, white, and blue Medicare card).

This deductible is your responsibility and is paid once per calendar year before Medicare begins covering outpatient physical and occupational therapy services. Until the deductible is met, services are billed directly to you. After it’s satisfied, Medicare typically covers 80% of approved care, and your secondary insurance pays the remaining 20% (if you have one).

Please note: INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness is currently providing care in the home only, as our studio is closed.

We believe in transparency and clear communication so there are no surprises when it comes to your care or billing. Planning ahead helps ensure continuity of care and peace of mind.

Questions about your Medicare benefits or planning therapy for 2026? We’re here to help.

✨ Happy New Year’s Eve from INSPIRE Physical Therapy & Wellness ✨

As we close out 2025, we’re taking a moment to pause and reflect.
This past year brought growth, challenges, learning, and connection—and we’re grateful for every client, caregiver, and community partner who walked alongside us.

As you step into 2026, we’d love to know:
• What is one thing you’re leaving behind in 2025?
• What is one thing you want to focus more on in 2026—movement, balance, strength, confidence, or community?

Here’s to moving forward with intention, clarity, and purpose. 💙
Cheers to a healthy, strong, and inspired 2026! 🥂
