“I had pain in my lower back. I came in and was told about dry needling, and I was a bit hesitant. It was explained in great detail and that was very reassuring. I was expecting pain, but when we started I didn’t feel anything. It was great! Afterward I was a bit tired, but after a few sessions I was energized and felt I had more energy and less pain. I have been recommending dry needling to everyone. It has honestly been a God send. Thanks!” - Mary M., LPPT dry needling patient

We live in a fast-paced modern world full of instant gratification and convenience. We want quick results with little effort at an affordable price. Just last week one of my clients who is struggling with high blood pressure and weight gain said, “You know it is just too hard and takes too long to change my eating habits and exercise, so I just take the medication even though I know I won’t live as long.” Don’t let this be your story! You hold the keys in your hands to lead a long healthy life.

I can’t hike because my foot hurts. I can’t ride my bike anymore because my back hurts. I had to stop playing basketball because my knee hurts. I had to stop playing tennis because my elbow hurts. I’m just getting old.” Sound familiar? Pain has forced you to give up doing what you love!

It is summer time and I can’t think of a better time to train for a 5K! What is holding you back? Fear? Embarrassment? Lack of motivation? Time? If you can walk then you can start training today! Let’s map out a plan to complete a 5K in 2017!
A 5K is 3.1 miles and can take anywhere from 25 to 45 minutes. This is a very attainable distance and time for a first-time runner. You want to give yourself 8-12 weeks to train depending on your current fitness level.

The snow is melting, the flowers are blooming, the trails are clear, the air is fresh, and the mountains are calling you! Hiking could be the single best thing you do for your mental and physical health this summer!
I have done more hiking this year than in previous summers, due to being 8 months pregnant. I knew hiking would help me feel better physically and strengthen my body. What I didn’t anticipate was the positive impact my trail time would have on my mental and emotional well-being.

“Sitting is the new smoking.” “Sitting is killing you!” “Sitting is dangerous.” Recent reports clearly state prolonged sitting is dangerous and can cause early death. We live in a modern world with advanced technology which allows us to drive in cars, take public transportation, work from our computers, and make phone calls. We no longer have to walk to work, walk to chat with another coworker or friend, or work to gather or hunt our food.
