Greetings

Welcome to the November edition of FYZICAL East Louisville's newsletter.

Crohn’s disease and colitis are both classified as types of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but they affect your digestive tract differently. Symptoms of both conditions include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss, which can be confusing, but the location and type of inflammation help to distinguish between the two conditions. Proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for optimal disease management.  Learn more in today’s feature article.

When heading to a physical therapy appointment, make sure that you dress with comfort and mobility in mind.

Loose-fitting clothes such as tank tops, t-shirts, and shorts or jogging pants allow your physical therapist to access your injured area to assess and treat your injury properly. If you have an upper-body injury, such as a neck or shoulder injury, sleeveless shirts are best. If you have a knee or ankle injury, shorts or loose jogging pants are ideal.

Comfortable, supportive, and non-slip shoes are essential for physical therapy as they help to keep you stable and safe. Lastly, long hair should be tied up, and jewelry should be removed before your treatment session. The goal of dressing appropriately for physical therapy is so that your physical therapist can provide you with the best treatment while keeping you comfortable.

Meet Grace Clements, Our Marketing & Office Assistant

Grace Clement is an ambitious 18-year-old with a lifelong love for horseback riding and jiu-jitsu who has always been passionate about physical challenges and personal growth. She dedicated herself to pursuing a career in jiu-jitsu, training intensely and honing her skills, until an ACL injury forced her to take a year-long break. What seemed like a major setback turned into a pivotal moment in her life as she embarked on a journey of recovery through physical therapy.

During her recovery, Grace developed a deep appreciation for the field of rehabilitation, realizing her desire to help others in their recovery journeys. This newfound passion inspired her to pursue a future at Fyzical, where she hopes to combine her enthusiasm for wellness with marketing, helping the organization grow and reach more people in need of care. With her background in physical fitness and an eagerness to contribute, Grace is excited about the future, ready to make an impact both in the rehabilitation world and in helping Fyzical thrive.

In our line of work, we are often reminded of the important things in life as we see patients recovering from limitations to return to the things they find joy in. 

Thanksgiving and the change of seasons gives us an opportunity to reflect on the things we have to be thankful for. 

We would like to wish you and your family a great Thanksgiving!

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