Traction Pain Relief & Wellness

Celebrating Ray meeting her goal 🎉🥳

She dove in fully committed to her program with no excuses, but this doesn't mean she restricted or lived like a hermit. She enjoyed Thangiving and Christmas holidays guilt free. She took some weekends to visit her daughter in college. She enjoyed social events with her friends.

Ray didn't crash diet to meet her goals. She committed the time to achieve fat loss gradually & sustainably AND worked back to a maintenance intake level to maintain her results long term.

Nearly 2 months after ending her personalized nutrition program she's eating intuitively while maintaining the results of her hard work 🙌🏼

It's been a crazy couple of days, but this past Saturday Traction Pain Relief & Wellness had the awesome opportunity to, once again, partner with Crossfit Oyster Point for an amazing shoulder clinic!

Participants were taken through a self-assessment (a mini version of what I actually do 1:1 with my clients) to identify their personal root issues. They also learned my top prescribed self-treatment techniques for optimal shoulder mobility and activation to treat and/or prevent shoulder pain and injuries!

Thank you to everyone who came out and spent a few hours of your Saturday with me learning how to take care of your body and live more empowered! ❤

Have you ever had shoulder pain that has kept you out of the gym or modifying every workout?

Maybe you have just have shoulder mobility issues that don't let you move the way you want to.

On April 30th at 11 am CrossFit Oyster Point is hosting a Strong & Healthy Shoulders workshop with Traction Pain Relief & Wellness. I, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, will take you through a self-assessment and then provide my best pain and mobility tips to improve your shoulder health and prevent injury.

Even if you are not having shoulder issues currently, this will be an interactive workshop that will help you learn the best ways to prevent injury and/or keep it from ever coming back.

⁉️DID YOU KNOW⁉️

The products that you use on a daily/weekly basis for self-care and hygiene - I'm talking shampoo, conditioner, deoderant, toothpaste, mouthwash, soap/body wash, skin care, etc - can have a huge impact on your health

1️⃣ Toxins poison enzymes so they don't work properly
2️⃣ Toxins displace structural minerals, resulting in weaker bones
3️⃣ Toxins damage nearly all your organs and systems - if your digestive tract, liver and kidneys are in toxic overload then they are unable to detox your body effectively
4️⃣ Toxins damage DNA, which increases the rate of aging and degeneration
5️⃣ Toxins modify gene expression
6️⃣ Toxins damage cell membranes so they don't respond properly
7️⃣ Toxins interfere with hormones and cause imbalances

I LOVE that I have found a way to take care of my body in a natural, toxin free way by purchasing toxin free products that I would already use!

But that's not even the best part. It's more affordable for me to use these safe, all natural, toxin free products than the alternative 😱
If you want to know more about these products or how to transform your home into a toxin free zone AND save 💲 join us for our Toxin Free Lifestyle webinar THIS THURSDAY (April 29) @ 6:30PM.

You can register for the class here: https://drbrewerpt.activehosted.com/f/42

EVERYONE WHO REGISTERS WILL RECEIVE ONE OF THESE AWESOME SAMPLE BOXES. ATTEND THE LIVE CLASS FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A FULL SIZE BOTTLE OF TOXIN FREE ON GUARD CLEANER CONCENTRATE

I don't know about you, but sleep is sacred in this house. If you (or someone you love) struggles with falling asleep or staying asleep I'd love for you to join me NEXT THURSDAY (April 22) @ 6:30pm on Zoom for a class on Natural Solutions for Sleep.

You can register for the class here: https://drbrewerpt.activehosted.com/f/41

I will be sharing the exact strategies I use to get a solid 7-8 hours of sleep every single night AND wake up feeling rested and ready for my day to start at 430am 😉

It's been a while, but I am super excited to announce that I am going to start teaching FREE educational classes again! These will be all about health & wellness, specifically natural healthcare options & solutions.

If you'd like to join in, they will be every Monday at 6:30pm (virtual for now). The only thing you need to do is register to get access to the Zoom link. When you register you will also receive a small gift from me related to the class topic :)

Next Monday, April 12 will be the first class all about seasonal threats. If you struggle with sore throat, itchy eyes, runny nose, fatigue, congestion or anything else that these beautiful plants & flowers cause this time of year then this is the class for you.

Thank you to Goody's Deli & Pub for takeout lunch today for me and my staff! Love our Downtown Hampton community! I would've taken pictures, but we ate everything so fast because it was delicious!

Traction Pain Relief & Wellness is committed to improving the overall health and wellness of our clients. As a result, we are open and caring for them in a clean and safe environment with dedication to working within the guidelines suggested by the CDC. Since we are open and fully functional, I wanted to make you aware of services for patients who may be better served in their own homes.

Telehealth Options
For patients who are safer at home, we are now offering virtual visits. This includes a FREE Virtual Total Body Diagnostic Assessment for new clients as well as follow-up Virtual Visits for existing clients. This option is a good way for patients to touch base with their therapist, go over home exercise programs, and ask questions without leaving their house. If you are wondering if this is a good option for you, here are two reviews from clients who recently chose to utilize virtual visits.

Mobile Program
Traction Pain Relief & Wellness was started as a Mobile Therapy Practice. We are fully equipped and capable to travel and treat patients in their own homes in all scenarios that is is safe to do so. We will bring all necessary equipment to your home so that you get a "typical" therapy session.

Both of these options are amazing opportunities for all of our clients to continue their care and make progress towards goals during this time of unknowns. Physical therapy is an essential healthcare service, perhaps now more than ever. Physical Therapists will continue to assist patients to maintain their health, prevent complications from recent surgeries, manage pain, reduce opioid utilization and live an optimal life. By providing these services, we are committed to decreasing the stress and strain on our hospital systems and emergency services.

Like you, we are continuing to monitor the situation and will make changes as necessary. In the meantime, we are open and seeing patients at our Downtown Hampton clinic, virtually and in the comfort of your own home. We appreciate each of you and your dedication to Traction Pain Relief & Wellness.

Again for the people in the back:
👏Your👏insurance👏does👏not👏care👏about👏you👏

You know who does? Your physician. Your nurse. Your physical therapist. Your psychologist. Your pharmacist.

“But my insurance says...” is never a good reason to choose a specific healthcare provider, treatment, or procedure. Your insurance company will ALWAYS choose the least expensive option, not the one that is best for you!

Don't just take it from me, take it from a doctor who has done thousands of steroid injections for arthritis

⚠️8 percent had complications that worsened the state of their joints.
⚠️In some cases, the arthritis actually sped up
⚠️Others developed small fractures under the cartilage or had complications that compromised the blood supply to bone
⚠️In the worst cases, patients had “rapid joint destruction.”

Still think injections are a safe, non-invasive treatment? 🤔

If you would like information on truly safe and effective ways to decrease joint pain and improve mobility and physical function comment "SAFE" below!

A Warning From a Doctor Who Has Done Thousands of Steroid Injections for Arthritis The extremely common treatment might be causing more harm than previously thought.
