What is an athlete? This may be an easy question for some people to answer. It could mean somebody who plays sports. It could be someone who excels at a certain sport or is great at multiple different sports. For me, it is a bit of a loaded question.

Read MoreOur Complimentary Consultation is a 'first date' of sorts where we get to learn more about each individual story and can help answer any questions to see if this relationship would be a good fit or not! No strings attached.

Read MoreWith fall apparently already in our rear-view mirror and winter already upon us, it’s an important reminder to stay active even as the colder weather hits us. A few quick ideas to keep moving are..
Set a timer on your phone to get up every hour and do 5-10 squats or lunges. You’d be surprised how many this will add up to every day for a week!
While the coffee is brewing in the morning, take a few minutes to breathe through your diaphragm and deep core consciously.
It’s still nice enough for a walk! Even if that means in your living room. Get up and walk/march/skip - it’s a fun activity to include the kids too!
If you have to shovel that beloved snow.. remember to take mini breaks and make it a fun workout. Try to work as hard as you can for 1 minute and then take 2 minutes off as ‘rest.’ Rinse and repeat for time!
Invest your time wisely. Prioritize your health. I’d rather see you for a longer duration of time once a week or once every couple weeks compared to 5 minute visits three times per week.End result? You get better. Fast. Oh, and you save time driving to and from the clinic! More time to enjoy your life!
