Welcome to the July edition of FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers newsletter.

Hello Everyone!

Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year? Summer arrived in true dramatic fashion—sunshine one moment, downpours the next! But rain or shine, we’re keeping things exciting here at the clinic.

Right now, we’re buzzing with preparations for our upcoming Ribbon Cutting Celebration, and we’d love for you to be part of it! If you haven’t already, please take a moment to register—it helps me finalize all the delicious treats we’re planning just for you.

Remember, we’ll have three separate drawings throughout the evening. Each basket is valued at over $100 and contains premium wellness items. I had instructed our Office Manager, Malou Mukendi, to aim for a $75.00 target per basket; however, she couldn’t resist piling on the goodies. You will be very  pleased if you win! 😊 Please feel free to share this newsletter or the registration link with anyone who might enjoy getting to know us. The whole team is looking forward to seeing you and giving you a warm welcome!

We also have a new addition to the team—Abbie Dickman, Doctor of Occupational Therapy. She’s a recent graduate and will start on July 8, 2025. With Abbie joining us, we’re proud to offer OT services to the community—something many of the physician offices we serve have requested. Abbie will be working closely with Susan to provide you with exceptional services!

Speaking of Susan, she is officially a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT), and now performs Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) for patients with lymphedema. If you know someone who may need therapy for Lymphedema, please don't hesitate to reach out.

In the meantime, if you're a current patient and seen me in the clinic, you’ve probably noticed me sweeping, mopping, or tidying up. My team jokes that I have a touch of OCD when it comes to clutter—and, well... they might be right (just don’t tell them I admitted it!). I genuinely want the space to feel clean, calm, and comfortable for every visitor.

If you ever notice something that seems off or needs attention, please don’t hesitate to speak up—we’ll take care of it right away. In fact, I just updated all the clocks to digital after a sharp-eyed young patient pointed out they were off. We don’t just see you—we listen too!

We hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter and find something helpful or inspiring inside. If there’s a topic you’d like us to cover in future editions, we’re all ears.

Strains and sprains are common injuries that affect various parts of the body. A strain involves
an injured muscle, while a sprain refers to a ligament injury. For a serious strain or sprain,
physical therapy can support recovery by helping to reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent
further injury to the area.

With summer in full swing, it is important to remember to use sunscreen to protect the skin; to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids; and to avoid vigorous activities during the hottest hours of the day. These tips can help prevent painful and unnecessary injuries that can disrupt your
summer fun.

July is National Parks and Recreation Month. Parks and recreation centers help improve the lives of the community by giving people opportunities for outdoor activities that boost well-being and overall health. If chronic pain or a previous injury is stopping you or someone you know from enjoying time outdoors, the physical therapists at FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers can help. Contact our office today.

Here are two simple recipes to enjoy for lunch or dinner.
