Outdoor activities in warmer weather require different fueling strategies than indoor gym workouts. Heat increases your calorie and fluid needs significantly. For activities over 90 minutes in warm weather, you need easily digestible carbs during the activity itself - not just before. Sports drinks, energy gels, or simple foods like dates or pretzels keep your energy stable when sweating heavily.

Salt intake matters too - if you're a heavy sweater or notice white residue on your clothes after workouts, you need more sodium. Don't fear salt when you're active outdoors in warm weather - your body needs it for proper hydration and muscle function.

Thank You, Teachers! 🙏
We recently had the honor of providing injury screens, soft tissue work, massage, stretching, and access to our recovery lounge at a special event for the educators at Norwell Middle School!

Teaching is physically demanding work - from standing all day in the classroom to the mental and emotional energy it takes to shape young minds. Teachers deserve to feel their best, and we're grateful for the opportunity to give back to the educators who give so much to our community.

A huge thank you to Veronica and the entire team at Norwell Middle School for letting us be part of your day. Your dedication to our students is truly appreciated! 💙

Pregnancy and postpartum recovery are incredible journeys - but they can also come with pain, dysfunction, and questions about what's "normal" versus what needs treatment. That's where Dr. Bri comes in.

Whether you're currently pregnant and dealing with pain, preparing your body for birth, or postpartum and struggling with core weakness, pelvic floor dysfunction, or diastasis recti - Bri is here to help. Pregnancy and postpartum care isn't just about "bouncing back" - it's about healing properly and building a strong foundation for whatever comes next.

Spring enthusiasm often leads to overtraining syndrome - too much activity, too little recovery. Signs you're doing too much include persistent fatigue, decreased performance despite training, trouble sleeping, increased resting heart rate, and nagging aches that won't go away. The fix isn't just rest days, it's strategic recovery. Schedule complete rest days where you do genuinely restful activities. Alternate hard training days with easy days. Listen to your body's signals before they become injuries. Progress matters more than perfection, and sometimes the strongest thing you can do is take a day off.

Shoulder still nagging you even after working on your overhead range? This one's for you.

If getting your arm behind your back, reaching for a seatbelt, or finishing your golf swing is where things break down — this exercise targets exactly that. Dr. Dave walks through a TheraBand drill that uses end-range strengthening to address limited shoulder internal and external rotation.

The key: light resistance. You're not trying to power through it. You're training the muscle to work from a stretched position — and that's where the magic happens for reducing pain and building real range of motion.

✅ Great for nagging shoulder pain
✅ Pitchers, grapplers, golfers — this one's for you
✅ Can be progressed for strength and power over time

Movement analysis in real time! Here Dave captures video so the patient can see exactly what's happening with his movement patterns.

Sometimes you can't feel what you're doing wrong - but when you see it on screen, everything clicks. We use video analysis to help you understand your movement, identify compensations, and make real-time corrections that stick.

When you can see what we see, you become an active participant in your healing - not just someone following instructions.

Meet Emily! She graduated from the Quincy College PTA program in 2025. Originally from Quincy, she completed her undergraduate coursework at Dean College, Curry College, and Northeastern University before entering the PTA program in 2023.

Emily has diverse clinical experience across hospital settings, skilled nursing facilities, and outpatient orthopedic clinics. She actually completed her first clinical rotation right here at Body Mechanics in summer 2024, where she continued as a rehab aide before transitioning to her PTA role after graduation.

The BMPT approach to one-on-one patient care - prioritizing meaningful relationships, trust, and truly understanding each patient's recovery goals - played a huge role in her decision to join the team permanently.

A lifelong athlete who played soccer through her sophomore year of college and hockey in high school, Emily has a strong passion for working with athletes and post-surgical patients, helping them safely return to the activities they love.

Outside the clinic, you'll find Emily hiking and camping with her boyfriend, walking her yellow lab Fenway, relaxing with her cats, attending country concerts, spending time at the beach - and almost always with a coffee in hand! ☕

Emily is driven by compassion, a love of learning, and dedication to continually researching new approaches to better support her patients.
