Pelvic Health & Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Addressing your questions about pelvic, women's, and musculoskeletal health. Health is a journey. Movement is healing!
Week one of 2017 is officially in the books. I'm still in denial though, I keep vehemently scrawling 2016 and then having to vigorously scratch it out or try to magically turn the 6 into a 7. I've been spotty about sticking to that resolution of mine. I have a valid excuse..I have been travelling! I am finally back home in the great state of Tennessee so I can get back into a routine. Even with the craziness of travelling I've managed to do yoga 4 out of the last 7 days, not the best but definitely not the worst. So I'm going to consider it a jumping off point for next week. Between Pinterest (I have a yoga page with a bunch of videos pinned for your viewing pleasure) and Gaia ($0.99 your first month, yippeee skippee), Mom and I have been finding some really great yoga videos to do at home!
How are your resolutions going? Have you started to make small changes? What can you do this upcoming week to be more successful? Big things are in store for 2017. Next week marks the beginning of my LAST, I repeat, LAST, semester of physical therapy school. Two weeks after that I start my last clinical in a pediatric rotation. So standby for pediatric updates on pediatric physical therapy services as well as the continuation of working through the material you want to more know more about! Here's a nice breakdown of how to build a new habit as we approach the start of 2017. Start with little, daily things that will add up to your bigger goal!
We are once again sprinting towards the holidays and end of the year. It seems like there is so much that needs accomplished during the days and just too little time to get it done. In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season remember to take a little time for yourself.
I am one of the worst culprits when it comes to self care. I rarely make time for myself and as a result my health suffers. My stress levels rise and my head begins to rotate around on my body...Joking. But in all seriousness other aspects of my life and health are affected by my chronic state of increased stress. I have chronic headaches, migraines, and interrupted sleep. How does your stress affect you? Does it make you more irritable? Feel fatigued throughout the day? Maybe you are like me and you get lots of headaches and your stress makes it difficult for you to get a full night's sleep. The end of the year is the perfect time to start implementing new practices into your schedule. Why not take a little time every day for some self care in order to combat stress? Especially the daily stress compounded with holiday stress. Over the past two days I've started doing a little yoga before bed and the past two nights I've slept through the entire night. Studies say on average it takes approximately 66 days to make a practice habit. So let's enter the new year taking more time to ensure we take care of our mental wellbeing! Here are a few different ways to take some you time:
