For you it may be just a small compliment for them it may bring joy to their whole day or week! Be kind to each other out there!

This is your body's way of communicating with you. If you feel any of these step back and re-evaluate for a moment. Do you need a break? Are you running into burn out? Do you need to ask for help?

Remember to be kind to yourself. You have to live with you for the rest of your life.

Humming will actually stimulate your Vagus nerve which helps to take you out of sympathetic mode (fight or flight) and put you into parasympathetic mode (relaxation). Your Vagus Nerve effects all the organs in your torso such as heart, lungs, and stomach.

I loved this short video explaining how the shoulder is out together and how it works. The fact that it is the muscles that keep this joint stable and prevent injuries. It is so important to keep those muscles strong. We have exercises we can give you at the office. Ask Dr. Teresa or Dr. Ron with your next appointment.

What is the shoulder? 🦴 The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body, allowing a wide range of arm movements including lifting, reaching, throwing, and rotation. It is formed primarily by the humerus (upper arm bone), scapula (shoulder blade), and clavicle (collarbone). The shoulder's stability is supported by muscles, tendons, ligaments, and the rotator cuff, while cartilage and the glenoid labrum help cushion and stabilize the joint. This complex structure provides both flexibility and strength for everyday activities. This infographic is for educational purposes only.

This short video shows why weight bearing exercises are so important for bone density!

Your skeleton may seem like a rigid, unchanging structure, but your bones are actually living tissues that are constantly being renewed. Throughout your life, specialized cells break down old bone while others build new bone, allowing the skeleton to adapt to the demands placed upon it. One of the strongest signals influencing this process is movement. Activities such as walking, running, jumping, and resistance training place mechanical stress on bones. In response, the body may strengthen areas that experience regular loading, making them better able to handle future demands. Conversely, prolonged inactivity can reduce the stimulus that helps maintain bone strength. What makes this process so remarkable is that your skeleton is continuously responding to how you use it. Bones are not simply structures that support movement—they are tissues that adapt because of movement. Every step, jump, and lift provides information that helps shape the strength and resilience of your skeleton over time.
