HealthFit Physical Therapy and Chiropractic’s BLOG. Here we provide you with a large selection of topics to help you get back to doing what you love.
All too often, I hear that people around me aren’t sleeping enough (don’t worry I’m often a part of that group as well!) However, I think it’s important that we all recognize just how important sleep really is to our health!
Sleep is important for your overall RECOVERY from a long day of work, exercise and life's numerous stressors. This is the optimal time your body RECHARGES itself so we can function at our best.
Read MoreDo you cringe when you here the word... Arthritis? Do you feel like your life is over when your doctor tells you that is what's causing your pain? Here is some great and important information to give you a little more background on your situation so you can restore your belief in health's potential!
Physical therapists are able to evaluate you and help decrease your functional impairments (i.e. difficult getting up from chairs, going up and down stairs, etc.). In keeping with last week’s introduction of evidence-based practice, I thought I would share some evidence about arthritis and physical therapy.
Read MoreWe here at HealthFit are back to talk about another gymnastics related topic this week! As Physical Therapists (and Athletic Trainers) we rely heavily on evidence-based practice.

There are different reasons why back pain can seemingly get worse over time so we’ll take a look at the common ones.I always like to ask people if they have ever seen a health professional for their back pain before?

Read MoreWe live in a day and age of early specialization, where many young athletes stick to only one sport. This lends itself to overuse of particular movements and muscle groups, placing a great deal of stress on their bodies.
What we do is objective screening, injury and health histories, and collaboration with their coaches to help decide what areas we need to target the most. For example, some gymnasts have incredible hip flexibility going front to back, but not necessarily into rotation. We take all of this information to come up with the best way to address their needs.
