We have some exciting news to share, and we wanted you to be the first to know!
On October 19th, in conjunction with Northwood Foot and Ankle Center, Ultimate Fitness and Health and Gazelle Sports, we're hosting our first ever "Healthy Strides" Runner's Clinic. The event will be held from 5:30p-8:30p at our location (inside of Ultimate Fitness and Health) and will be by appointment. Runners will each have the opportunity to be assessed by our PTs, a sports medicine doctor who specializes in feet and ankles, and the Gazelle Sports staff. The best part--the event is FREE to all who sign up for a time slot!
We're so excited to be able to provide this event for runners in our community. Information on how to sign up and get involved will be available closer to the date of the event. Stay tuned for more details:)

Taking a Time Out
What relaxes you? What gives you energy? Is it spending time with your family? Being out in nature on your own? Playing an active sport with an enthusiastic team? Whatever it might be, we urge you to make time for it.
We know...schedules can get so busy, days SO full. But in the long run, if you take time out to rest and recharge, you'll be much better equipped to handle the deadlines and details that life throws at you. Not only that, but your body will be better able to bounce back, and your stress level will decrease.
Even if you can't find more than an hour in your week to take time for yourself, make sure to protect that hour--then, do the one thing that is most life-giving to you with that time. Block it out on your calendar. Say no to things that could get in its way. The world will still be waiting for you when that time is up, and you can still return phone calls and emails (and catch up on everything you missed on Facebook...kidding) after you've spent 60 minutes on yourself.
It might seem inconvenient at first, but eventually, you, your spouse, your kids, co-workers and friends will all reap the benefits of you taking time out to breathe.
Have you done this lately? If not, why not make time in your schedule for the upcoming week. It's never a bad time to take good care of the things that matter most--and you're one of them! :)

Aches and Pains
No matter your age, your hobbies, or how active a lifestyle you lead, aches and pains are no fun. Whether you're trying to keep up with sports teams and young kids on the weekends, sitting at the kitchen table or driving a car, a continuous ache can become a real burden--not only on you, but on your daily activities as well.
Perhaps you know the feeling and can really relate these days. Or maybe, you've never had a nagging pain that weaves its way into your regular routine. For some, daily discomfort feels normal. If you woke up one morning without a sore back or neck, or if you went running without your knee or ankle hurting, what would you think? Would you notice? Would you feel more free?
If you're currently dealing with a chronic ache or pain that seems like it might hang around forever, and you haven't tried therapy at Nephew PT, we encourage you to give it a chance. We often see patients who feel like they've tried everything...surgery, chiropractic, medicine, exercise--even therapy with other practices (and in some situations, these aforementioned options might be key to someone's healing process). We've helped these patients to eliminate their chronic aches and pains with success they never imagined. If you feel like you've exhausted other solutions, we still believe we can help. We think you'll find our approach to therapy refreshing. You'll work with one therapist throughout treatment, and we'll give you tangible tools you can use on your own time (and long after you've been discharged) to keep the aches and pains from coming back.
Healing doesn't always equate to a quick fix or an overnight solution--in fact, it rarely does. But your path to wellness can begin today by contacting us at Nephew PT. We'll even help you to secure a referral from your doctor if you don't already have one.
