Greetings

Welcome to the November newsletter from In Balance Physiotherapy.

I hope this letter finds you well. This month we will be focusing on breathing and how this is a powerful tool to help you relax and feel more energized.

NEW NOVEMBER ARTICLE

How often do you think about breathing?

In this newsletter we’re discussing breathing. Maybe there’s more to it than you think!

Breathing. It’s an involuntary act we perform from the moment we’re born until our last moments on earth.

This exchange of gases between the air and our blood affects more than just our heart and blood vessels. Controlled breathing calms your nervous system at a cellular level. On the other hand, over breathing can be harmful to your health.

LIVE WELL

Will you be heading to the slopes this winter?

Snowboarding is a fun, healthy way to indulge your inner daredevil and thrill-seeker. While the pros make quick turns and jumps look easy, it takes a lot of training and preparation to stay safe while enjoying this sport. Read on to learn how to protect your upper body while snowboarding.

BE INSPIRED

Fear can give you invaluable information about your surroundings in order to survive. It can also keep you from ever leaving your comfort zone. Learning to use fear as a tool can help reveal which insecurities keep you from achieving your dreams. Next time you are afraid to try something, ask yourself why.

MOVE WELL

Understanding Osteochondritis dissecans

Osteochondritis dissecans is a painful condition of the knee that can happen in both children and adults. Since it involves damage of the bone, it is permanent once it occurs. However, physiotherapy is successful in treating about half of the cases.

EAT WELL

Fall comfort foods don’t always mean unhealthy eating. Rich, colorful squash and root vegetables supply an extraordinary amount of nutrients and antioxidants. By incorporating flavorful spices instead of fats, you can elevate your fall menu and satisfy your taste buds, all while keeping a trim waistline!
