here is a great photo of how to use your GLUTS when you run ( or even to a lesser version: walk) Look how far their back thigh is relative to their hip joint. Gluts more than quads for the WIN!

In 2014 researchers did an interesting study about the role of communication in the treatment of chronic back pain. They compared electrical stimulation vs placebo/sham electrical stimulation and found a 25% reduction in pain. Then they compared electrical stimulation with Physical Therapists who actively engaged and communicated with the patients with those that just put the stimulation machine on them and left the room. Those that received an engaged Physical Therapist and electrical stimulation were the winners by reporting a 77% drop in their pain symptoms.
A scientific endorsement of our successful 17 year treatment philosophy here at PLUTA Movement Therapeutics where you receive at least 45 minutes of 1 on 1 treatment with empathetic,attentive and hands on staff with or without the electrical stimulation.

If you’ve gotten hurt during a yoga class, you’re not alone. A new study published last November in the Orthopedic Journal of Sports Medicine found that yoga injuries are on the rise, especially among older adults. Many know that practicing Yoga is a great way to gain flexibility, strength, but it also stimulates the circulatory, nervous, endocrine and immune systems, which is important this time of year and always.

Here are some tips to make your journey into this practice a safe one:
1) Start with a GENTLE/HATHA or BEG. IYENGAR class
2) Yoga is a practice, not a competition, so do the best you can with each pose and listen to your body
3) Set your intention to invigorate and be kind to your body during the practice
4) Come join us at PLUTA Movement Therapeutics on Monday Nights at 7 for our highly supervised Therapeutic Class taught by 1 of our certified yoga instructors, Beth Kupanoff

Merry Christmas Cheer at the office with Kermit. We will be closed until the 3rd so Be Well and do your Exercises until then!

They are locally rented and bought right here in Solana Beach and I have some coupons for you to try them too. Don't miss out!
