Spring is here, and we’re excited for another great month at Personalized Physical Therapy and Wellness!

This month, we’ve been busy helping our patients move and feel their best. Our team continues to expand our mobile services, bringing expert care right to your doorstep. We’ve also been sharing helpful thoracic spine mobility exercises on social media—be sure to check them out to improve posture and reduce pain!

In other exciting news, we’re preparing for our Health and Wellness Workshop for individuals 45 and older. If you or someone you know is looking to stay active and pain-free, this event is a must! Stay tuned for details.

As always, thank you for trusting us with your care. Here’s to a healthy and active March!

KEEPING HEALTHY:

The Windshield Wiper

This is a great exercise for the internal and external obliques and can also help strengthen the lower back and hip flexors.

Start by laying on your back with your arms out and palms on the ground. Have your legs up with knees bent at 90°. Using your stomach muscles, lower your legs down to the side and rotate to the other side. Make sure your knees stay together and your knees don’t touch the ground.

Exercise modification: Do the exercise with your knees up and feet tucked under close to the back of your legs.

WINNER’S JOURNEY:

I can not even put in words how grateful I am to have found Personalized Physical Therapy. I started seeing Farhin for Pelvic Floor Therapy which I was nervous about perusing and she immediately she put me at ease. After reaching pelvic floor therapy goals we moved to PT for my lower back. I love how Farhin explained my assessment, discussed my goals and gave me exercises to work on. I have to say I never thought I would be excited about going to physical therapy l but I do!!!

BUSINESS PARTNER:

Robinhood Integrative Health aims to inspire change in the medical system, offering our patients, both children and adults, a chance at better health that they deserve. Integrative medicine is all about challenging what we know about healthcare. With that in mind, our Winston-Salem physicians offer healthcare services that combine conventional and alternative treatments, giving our patients the benefit holistic treatment offers.

We are so excited to be your trusted resource and advocate for your child’s optimal health and well being physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

At RIH, we seek to listen and adapt to the needs of our community and patients as they arise. One message we hear quite often is that traditional pediatrics is not serving families who are seeking to raise their children with wellness as a primary focus.

Our pediatric team, Dr. Nicole Craven and Caroline Jones, PA, reflects our strategy that parents know their children best and wellness for kids is not as simple as a routine child check-up. Our goal, as a wellness team, is to address many key aspects of prevention, educate and empower parents, and help each child thrive in and out of our office.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH:

Need a light lunch that’s high in protein? This take on a traditional chicken salad swaps mayo for low-fat Greek yogurt, saving some calories and making room for heart-healthy fats from chopped walnuts. The chopped fruits and veggies add a ton of crunch and flavor. Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, this salad will keep you full and energized without weighing you down!

BLOG OF THE MONTH:

Traveling, whether for business or pleasure, can be an exciting experience. However, long hours in a cramped airplane seat, lugging around heavy baggage, and navigating through airports can lead to neck stiffness, back pain, and general discomfort. At Personalized Physical Therapy and Wellness, we want to help you stay pain-free during your travels so you can fully enjoy your destination. Here are some key strategies to prevent stiffness and aches while traveling.

1. Prepare Your Body Before Traveling: Before embarking on your trip, taking a few steps to prepare your body can go a long way in preventing discomfort.

2. Optimize Your Posture During Flights: Sitting for extended periods on a plane can wreak havoc on your posture and spine.

3. Move Frequently to Avoid Stiffness: Lack of movement is a major contributor to stiffness and pain.

4. Be Smart About Carrying Luggage: Heavy baggage and improper lifting techniques can strain your back and shoulders.

5. Stretch and Recover After Your Trip: Once you’ve arrived at your destination, take time to stretch and move.

EDITOR’S NOTE:

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all have been well! For me, the past month has been focused on how I can best set myself up for the future. From creating a study plan for boards to professional development goals, I have been looking ahead to the future.

A main theme emerged as I was writing them, and it honestly should not have surprised me as much as it did — mentorship and connection. These have always been values and experiences that I have sought out throughout my life. In reflecting on my professional development goals I realized just how much that theme continued as I not only seek it for myself, but hope to provide it in the future. Life is nothing but a continuous search for connection and acceptance and it is my goal to one day provide that for my patients and future PTs.

Thank you to those that have mentored on my journey and I hope to pay it forward.

Till Next Time,

Samantha Pawlovich
