November is National Diabetes. We here at Hillcrest PT and Wellness want to remind those that if you have diabetes, being active makes your body more sensitive to insulin (the hormone that allows cells in your body to use blood sugar for energy), which helps manage your diabetes. Physical activity also helps control blood sugar levels and lowers your risk of heart disease and nerve damage. Let us know how you can reach your health and fitness goals!

Have you ever been curious about how to dispose of expired prescription medication? Today October 29th is National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day and it is a great day to educate yourself about safe disposal techniques. If you need a place to get started stop by the clinic!

Fibromyalgia is an often misunderstood diagnosis. It is defined as a condition that causes pain all over the body, sleep problems, fatigue, and often emotional and mental distress. One of the best treatments for Fibromyalgia is aerobic and strength training exercises. If you suffer with Fibromyalgia and are struggling with how to get moving again let us help you get back on track with your exercise goals.

Happy National Foam Rolling Day!

In recent years foam rolling has exploded in popularity however oftentimes we find patients are hesitant to use their new purchase. We would like to take a moment to answer two of the most common questions we get from patients

How long should I foam roll? Many people make the mistake of rolling over muscles too quickly when foam rolling. One Tip to slow yourself down is to move no more than 1 inch per second. This allows your muscles to adapt and relax with the pressure. Focus on each muscle for approximately 20-30 seconds.
What is the best time to foam roll? Post workout is the most effective as the gradual pressure on the muscle tissue helps the nervous system recover, flushes lymphatic pooling and drives fresh nutrient rich blood to local area allowing for quicker recovery the next day

Hillcrest Physical Therapy could not do what we do here without this wonderful person!

She is the glue that holds us all together! She keeps us on track and organized. She handles so many of the tiny little details on a daily basis. She takes care of our patients and greets everyone with a smile!

Thank you Sarah!

We SO appreciate all that you do!

Happy Administrative Professionals' Day!
