POV: You’ve injured your shoulder, and you’re a physical therapist AND a Pilates instructor…. 🙃

No getting out of this rehab! All jokes aside, Pilates and physical therapy can go hand in hand very nicely- for more than just pelvic health conditions.

If you’re new to Pilates or fearful of movement, reach out- I’m always happy to help people get moving- DESPITE an injury- in fact I would absolutely encourage you to move in the presence of an injury. I’m full of modifications 😉

I actually think wearables and tracking information can be a little overwhelming for some people (and can end up doing more harm than good) - but they can also be really helpful to just give us a little insight into our own bodies and how our body responds to food, sleep, exercise and stress.

I’ve been wearing the oura ring for almost a year now and I love that it doesn’t have a screen that I interact with during the day (sorry Apple Watch- we just had to break up, you were too much for me 💔)

I’m not going to sit here and pretend I always practice what I preach, I do not 😅 I’m human. However after a rough winter of darkness, freezing temps, holidays and a cold, my readiness score and my sleep scores were tanking.

I changed two things- I went to sleep about 30-45 min earlier every night and added about 3-5 min (literally just 3-5 min) of HIIT to my workouts about 2-3x a week.

And both scores went up. And I felt a LOT better. And it happened almost immediately. Little changes can lead to big results.

Sometimes a little biofeedback can give you that positive reinforcement to keep making good decisions for you body and your health 🤍

Sleep, nutrition, movement and stress management are major foundations of our overall health.

We can do all the things in physical therapy to address musculoskeletal and neuromuscular impairments, but we might not move the needle if some of these things are out of whack.

If you’re a human, living on planet earth, it’s likely not all of these things will be balanced all the time- if ever 😅
(If you’re a dog in this household however, you’ll live forever in perfect health, because all of the above pillars are in perfect alignment… it’s the dogs’ house and the humans are just here to pay the bills)

That being said, where can we support those foundations when one is lacking?

First we have to identify what’s lacking, and sometimes when you’re IN IT, it’s hard to zoom out and take a look at each component on your own…. I’m here to help 🤍
