September brings a lot of changes — cooler mornings, shorter days, changing weather, kids heading back to school, and new routines. As our schedules shift, it can be easy for exercise and movement to slip to the bottom of the list.

But your body doesn’t take a season off!

Keeping a consistent movement routine is an important part of maintaining your strength, balance, mobility, and independence. When we stop moving, even for a little while, it can become easier to lose strength, feel less steady, and become less confident with everyday activities.

The good news? Staying active doesn't have to mean spending hours at the gym. A daily walk, strengthening exercises, balance activities, stretching, or simply making an effort to move throughout your day can all help keep your body working at its best.

At Burch PT, we work with our patients to build strength, improve balance, and maintain mobility through exercises and activities that can carry over into everyday life. Whether your goal is to keep up with your favorite activities, stay independent, or simply feel more confident on your feet, having a consistent routine can make a big difference.

As the seasons change, don't let your movement routine fall away. Keep moving. Keep strengthening. Keep working on your balance. Keep taking care of yourself. ❤️

Because staying healthy isn't something you do for one season — it's something you build into your routine all year long.

We’re so proud of Preston and the incredible determination he’s shown throughout his recovery journey!

From rebuilding strength to advanced agility training, he continues to push toward his goals—and we couldn’t be happier to be part of the journey! 💪🤼‍♂️

🍎 Teacher Appreciation: Your Body Deserves Some Credit Too! 📚

Teachers spend their days on the move—standing, walking, bending, reaching, carrying supplies, sitting at a desk, and sometimes spending hours on their feet. It’s no surprise that all that hard work can take a toll on the body!

This school year, remember to take care of YOU, too. ❤️

🧍‍♀️ Standing all day? Take short movement breaks and change positions often.
💻 Long hours at your desk? Pay attention to your posture and set up your workspace comfortably.
📚 Carrying books and supplies? Use proper lifting techniques and avoid carrying everything on one side.
🪑 Sitting for grading and lesson planning? Get up, stretch, and move regularly.
🦶 Feet, knees, back, neck, or shoulders bothering you? Don’t ignore it!

Physical therapy can help address pain, improve strength and mobility, and keep you doing what you love—teaching, inspiring, and making a difference every day.

🍎 To all the teachers: Thank you for everything you do. Your students need you, so make sure you take care of yourself, too!

Happy Teacher Appreciation! ❤️

🚶 5 Common Cane Mistakes & How to Use Your Cane Properly

Using a cane the right way can improve your balance, walking mechanics, and confidence. Here are 5 common mistakes to watch for:

1️⃣ Cane is too high or too low
Your cane handle should line up around your hip bone, with a slight bend in your elbow when holding it.

2️⃣ Moving the cane with the wrong leg
Move the cane at the same time as your weaker/involved leg, then step through with your stronger leg.

3️⃣ Using the cane incorrectly on stairs
⬇️ Going DOWN: Cane → weaker leg → stronger leg
⬆️ Going UP: Stronger leg → weaker leg → cane

4️⃣ Holding the cane on the wrong side. The cane should generally be held on the opposite side of your weaker or injured leg.

5️⃣ Leaning too heavily on the cane
Your cane is primarily for balance and support. Avoid leaning your full weight onto it, as this can affect your posture and gait.

💡 Pro tip: If you're unsure whether you're using your cane correctly, have a physical therapist assess your cane height and walking technique.
Small adjustments can make a BIG difference in your safety and mobility!

🎒 Back-to-School Ergonomics: Small Changes, Big Difference

Back to school means more time sitting at desks, carrying backpacks, and hauling books from class to class. 📚🎒 Poor posture and heavy loads can lead to neck, shoulder, and back discomfort.

Here are a few simple tips to keep kids moving comfortably:

🪑 At the desk: Keep both feet supported, sit with your back against the chair, and try to keep the computer or book at a comfortable viewing height.

🎒 With a backpack: Use both shoulder straps, keep the backpack close to the body, and avoid carrying more than necessary. A properly fitted backpack should sit comfortably against the back.

📚 Carrying books: Avoid carrying a heavy stack of books on one side of the body. Use a backpack or distribute the weight evenly whenever possible.

⏰ Take movement breaks: Sitting for long periods can contribute to stiffness and discomfort. Encourage kids to stand up, stretch, and move throughout the day.

Good habits early can help prevent aches and pains later! 💪

If your student is experiencing ongoing neck, shoulder, or back pain, physical therapy can help identify contributing factors and improve strength, posture, and movement.
