How much of your energy is spent thinking about how you look?

This month's Book Nook pick explores the hidden cost of body image and why reconnecting with your body is about so much more than confidence. We'd love to hear your thoughts if you've read it.

Cancer recovery is about more than completing treatment. Swelling, mobility limitations, scar tissue, pelvic floor dysfunction, and other lasting effects can impact quality of life long after treatment ends.

Physical Therapy is an important part of care and recovery! At Well Being, we have a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, Nicole, providing individualized cancer rehabilitation to help patients regain confidence and return to the activities that matter most.

Read the full blog through the link in our bio. If you are wondering whether cancer rehabilitation could benefit you, contact Well Being Physical Therapy to schedule an evaluation.

Feeling swollen, heavy, or puffy?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized treatment that helps support your body's natural lymphatic system, reduce swelling, and promote healing.

We're excited to share that Nicole is certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and offers this treatment at Well Being Physical Therapy.

Wondering if it's right for you? We just published a new blog that explains what MLD is, who it can help, and what to expect during treatment.

Learn more in our latest blog, and if Manual Lymphatic Drainage sounds like something you've been missing, let's get you scheduled with Nicole!

Anxiety affects more than the mind.

This month's Book Nook pick explores the body's fear response and offers a compassionate perspective on why anxiety can feel so physical.

June is Men’s Health Month. Let's talk about a topic that is often overlooked: pelvic health in men.

Pelvic floor dysfunction in men is more common than people realize and can contribute to symptoms such as pelvic pain, back and hip pain, urinary urgency or frequency, constipation, and sexual health concerns.

Many people spend years searching for answers before realizing the pelvic floor may be involved, and even the cause. Chronic Prostatitis? Maybe....or maybe not.

We recently shared a new blog post discussing:
• what the pelvic floor does
• common symptoms in men
• contributing factors beyond “weak muscles”
• how pelvic floor physical therapy may help

We often recommend books as resources to our patients, why not share them with everyone?

Each "Book Nook" post will explain why we love them (or don't), and how they may help and educate.

We would love to hear your thoughts!
* Have you read it?
* What did you think?
* Who recommended it to you?
* What were the "take-aways"?
* What was not so great?

and
What would you like to see more of in the future? Any recommendations for us?

Post your thoughts and favorites and look forward to more. Let's learn together!

The event includes a screening of the first two episodes of BALANCE, followed by a guided panel discussion and time for meaningful connection with local wellness experts and sponsors pre and post event. We’re also thrilled to announce that Marcella Hill, who is featured in the docuseries, will join us live as a special guest to share her personal perimenopause journey and add a powerful, personal dimension to the event for our audience.
