Lakeview Physical Therapy

For the month of June, Lakeview Physical Therapy's Virtual 60+ Exercise class is focusing on "Walking our way into health and fitness". Join us every Thursday this June 2023 at 10:00am EST on zoom.

Weddings are beautiful occasions and often come with hours of walking, standing, and, of course, dancing. Patients are increasingly coming to me for wedding-related injuries. Here are 4 ways to help prevent them!

It is important to take care of your mind and body as many of us are experiencing increased amounts of stress and burnout. Pilates is a great way to help relieve tension and stress from the body.

Have you heard of the mind-body connection?

The Pilates Principles encourage a direct awareness of the movements and our breathing during sessions. This awareness helps us to notice where we may be holding stress in our bodies and make a plan to alleviate it. Coordinated breathing allows for increased relaxation and mindfulness. The mind-body connection is also essential for injury prevention, which helps prevent additional stress on the body and daily functioning.

If you're just starting out, the teaser can be a little intimidating. However, this is a great classical Pilates move for improving flexibility, balance, and strengthening your core.

Modifications for your individual needs and dedicated practice will help you to achieve a full teaser.

Keep up your Pilates routine. You got this!

Aging shouldn't stop you or your loved ones from participating in wellness activities.

I enjoy teaching virtual 60+ wellness classes because regular exercise and learning about changing health needs are essential to improve our quality of life as we age.

On June 4th I will be offering a series of 20 min Pilates classes from 10-12pm at a free wellness event.

Have you heard of Pilates, but are unsure how it can benefit you?

Here are 4 ways Pilates has improved the health of my clients:

1. Pilates helps my clients improve their ability to perform everyday activities.

2. Pilates helps my clients prevent injuries while participating in sports or other fitness activities.

3. Pilates helps my clients increase their muscle strength and tone.

4. Pilates helps my clients feel more relaxed and less tense or stressed.

What is a question you have about Pilates?

The last class was great so we decided to do it again!
This time there will be a prop- the soft ball.

Have you wanted to try Pilates without a commitment? This is a great opportunity- only 2 classes and beginner friendly. You don't even have to leave your home!

Lakeview Physical Therapy offers Huntsboro H**p CBD comfort cream as a pain relief option during appointments.

Velma provides education about the benefits and clients are loving it!

Recently, Velma strained her intercostal muscles and used the CBD comfort cream alone to truly test its strength. Her pain was gone the next day.

Today is Susan Crews' birthday (happy happy birthday!!) and Huntsboro H**p is offering a one day only BOGO deal.
If you want to try this amazing product, today is THE DAY!

About 26 million people with uteruses have fibroid tumors, and Black people are disproportionately affected.

Fibroids can cause a range of symptoms, impacting physical and mental health and well-being. Treatments can vary and are dependent on the size, number, and location of the fibroids.

Pilates helped me manage my symptoms and strengthen my muscles for labor and delivery in my late 30s.

(This is my story and not medical advice. Speak to your gynecologist to assess your symptoms and get the most appropriate care for your health)
