July MbM Newsletter

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July!


I can't believe we're already halfway through summer! I hope you're getting outside, enjoying the long days, and finding time to move your body.


We have lots of exciting news that has been in the background here at Medicine by Movement.  If you haven’t heard, we are expanding and moving locations!


We're still waiting on final permits, so the timeline is subject to change, but our tentative opening date at 1547 SMC is August 3rd.


Unless you hear otherwise, please plan to attend your physical therapy appointments and classes at the new location beginning in August. I will be sending plenty of reminders and directions prior to the date.


Once we're settled, I'd love to celebrate with everyone! I'm planning to host an Open House in September and will keep both current and past clients updated as details come together.


In the meantime, be sure to follow me on social media to see the renovation progress and watch the new space come to life!


Phase 1 of tearing ceiling tiles out and getting base paint on all the walls - this is a big space!


Moving along...new ceilings in and paint on half the building!


Phase 1 of ceiling tile removal was a bit more than most of these ladies signed up for!








Thank You for Your Support


I truly appreciate everyone's encouragement throughout this process. I'm incredibly excited about what this new space will allow us to offer.


Some of the exciting additions include:


* Expanded class offerings and class times

* More opportunities to collaborate with other healthcare professionals

* New equipment such as:

-Multiple squat racks

-Cable systems

-More free weights

-Cardio equipment, including a treadmill and Peloton


As we furnish the space, I'll also be looking for a few items such as chairs, yoga mats, rugs, lamps, side tables, shelving, and plants. If you happen to have anything that fits a natural wood aesthetic or deep blue, almond, or sage green color palette, I'd love to hear from you!


The biggest reason for making this move is growth. Our current space simply isn't large enough for where Medicine by Movement is headed. When this opportunity presented itself, I knew I had to take it, but I am still in search for a Physical Therapist!  I will also be looking for an administrative staff member, as well as health care practitioners interested in teaching classes, both educational and movement-based. 


If someone comes to mind, I'd greatly appreciate you passing along my information.

Thank you for helping us grow this community!


Exercise of the Month


90/90 Shoulder External Rotation Walkouts

This is an excellent exercise for improving shoulder strength, stability, and proprioception.


If you're currently dealing with shoulder pain or haven't done much rotator cuff strengthening before, I wouldn't recommend starting with this variation. Instead, perform the same movement with your elbow down by your side before progressing overhead.


If you're ready for more of a challenge, though, this is a fantastic progression!

A Small Favor

As I continue growing Medicine by Movement, online reviews make a huge difference in helping new clients feel confident about reaching out, as well as attracting top notch staff.


If we've worked together in any capacity and you've had a positive experience, I'd really appreciate you taking a minute to leave a review.





Thank you so much for your continued support. It genuinely means the world to me.


I hope you all have a safe, fun, and relaxing Fourth of July weekend. Enjoy time with family and friends, celebrate responsibly, and don't forget to get outside and move a little!




Much respect,


Alicia

Your Physical Therapist & Wellness Coach
