Your body is begging for a break πŸ™
Sitting all day is rough on your body β€” but you don't need a full workout to feel better. A few simple desk stretches will work wonders.

Does your stomach look flat in the morning but visibly distend by evening β€” even though your tests keep coming back "normal"?

You might be dealing with abdominophrenic dyssynergia (APD) β€” a coordination issue between your diaphragm, abdominal wall, and pelvic floor. It's not caused by stress, and it's not something you have to just live with.

The latest research shows this pattern is trainable, and physical therapy plays a central role in treating it conservatively β€” no medication, no surgery, just movement retraining as part of a coordinated care team alongside gastroenterology, dietitians, and behavioral health.

We broke down what APD is, why "just change your diet" often falls short, and how a multidisciplinary approach helps. Read the full breakdown here

πŸŽ‰ Fun Friday Fact! πŸŽ‰

Did you know your knees can handle up to 3-4x your body weight when you're going up and down stairs? 🦡πŸ’ͺ

That's why keeping the muscles around your joints strong is just as important as the joints themselves! Our orthopedic PT team doesn't just treat pain β€” we build resilient bodies that can handle everyday life (stairs, squats, chasing after kids or dogs, you name it).

What's one everyday movement you'd love to do pain-free?

🧠 The results are in: posture affects more than how you look β€” it affects how you think and feel.

In the McGill study, nearly 200 participants were secretly guided into either an upright or hunched posture while completing an unrelated task on a tablet. They then played a risk-based game where they could earn rewards by inflating a virtual balloon.

The upright group:
βœ… Took smarter risks and earned more rewards (not reckless β€” just more effective)
βœ… Reported significantly higher feelings of pride
βœ… Had no idea their posture had been manipulated at all

"This suggests they were not acting more impulsively but rather were engaging in more effective risk-taking," said lead researcher Jorge Armony.

The takeaway?
Small, everyday things β€” like how your desk or device is set up β€” may be quietly shaping your mood and mindset. Time to check your ergonomics πŸ‘€

08/26/2026

A new study from McGill University found that people who sat upright reported feeling more pride and made smarter, more effective risk-taking decisions than those who slouched β€” even though they had no idea their posture was being influenced at all.

Researchers didn't tell anyone to "power pose." Instead, they secretly nudged posture using adjustable tablet stands and desk heights β€” then measured what changed in mood and decision-making.

Swipe/stay tuned for what they found πŸ‘‡ (Part 2 coming soon!)

🦢 Ever wonder why your heel hurts most with those first steps out of bed?

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, and it doesn't happen overnight β€” it builds up gradually from repeated stress on the tissue that supports your arch.

The good news?
It responds really well to the right treatment, and you usually don't need surgery to fix it.
We broke down exactly what's happening in your foot, the common risk factors, and how physical therapy can help you get back to pain-free movement. Read the full breakdown πŸ‘‰ link in comments

Chronic pain doesn't have to be part of your daily routine.

At Body Harmony PT, we offer SoftWave therapy β€” an FDA-cleared, non-invasive shockwave treatment that stimulates your body's own healing at the cellular level. It's used to treat joint and muscle pain, tendon injuries like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow, and other soft tissue conditions that haven't responded to rest or other treatments.

No surgery. No medication. No downtime. Just a 10–15 minute session you can fit into your day.

Have questions about whether SoftWave is right for you?
Give us a call β€” we're happy to talk it through.

Did you know that healthy mobility in your joints can protect you from pain and injury? πŸ€”

When your hips, ankles, and back move freely, it reduces strain on your knees and shoulders. Proper movement helps distribute force evenly and keeps bones aligned.
