I was trying to come up with a catchy title for this post, then I tried to come up with a title that would summarize this post, and I just couldn’t do it.  I don’t know if it’s because this is the first time that I am writing anything besides a shopping list and a few emails in the last 2 months and my brain has been taking a vacation, or if it’s because there is no good way to describe what has happened since I shut down my business on March 13th and only left the house about 5 times in 9 weeks.  It’s “UNPRECEDENTED!”

Being an overachiever – isn’t this usually a good thing? Getting a 100% on the test…working hard to achieve your goals…going above and beyond for your loved ones…

Well, when it comes to your muscles, the key word that we are looking for is balance. If there are any overachievers or underachievers in the group, it throws the entire system out of balance and leads to compensations, pain, injury and dysfunction. In order to have everything running smoothly in our bodies, all of the parts and pieces need to work together in harmony. This is true for all of the systems in our bodies, but as a physical therapist, I can tell you about the havoc that out-of-balance muscles can wreak throughout the body!

See us first before electing for orthopedic surgery! Myofascial release can help people to prevent surgery, or if surgery is absolutely needed, can reduce tension and tightness before the surgery so that recovery is much easier.
