CELEBRATING YOUR FREEDOMS THE RIGHT WAY MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR 4TH OF JULY

The Fourth of July is a special time to reflect on those who paved the way for our freedoms. We should never ignore those freedoms or take them for granted, which is why we should be doing whatever we can to enjoy them to the fullest. For those of you with nagging aches and pains due to chronic ailments, surgery recovery, or sports-related injuries, it’s important to take the right steps to get you back to what you love most. You're only as free as you let yourself be, and here at Maximum Solutions, we want to extend our expertise to help you be as free as you want. Whether you plan on having a barbecue or taking a trip to a national park, there are a million different ways to celebrate being an American. Unfortunately, chronic pain can keep you from enjoying even the simplest activities, but it’s never too late to start

your journey in physical therapy. Our experienced and dedicated staff have years of experience to see you through to your ultimate goals with a smile. After all, being an American is all about taking charge of your life and becoming the master of your own happiness. At the end of the day, we hope we’ve helped our patients enjoy a pain-free lifestyle that allows them to hop in the car and get out of town for the day. No matter what your destination is, we can help you get there with time to spare. One of the more common ailments we see is back pain; millions of Americans suffer from back pain every day. You’d be hard-pressed to find a clinic that has treated more patients for this specific issue than us. With our help, you can sleep better, travel more comfortably, and increase your mobility so you can experience life the way it is meant to be experienced. Before we go, we just want to take a second to focus on you. We can’t thank you enough for everything you do for us here at Maximum Solutions and the dreams you allow us to live each and every day. Without you, there would be no practice. It’s that simple. In the East Stroudsburg office, we are now beginning the Health Mentor program. One area that has been going better than we could have ever imagined is our referral program, Health Mentors. We couldn’t be happier with the way this unique program has been going

over the last few months, and we want to take the time to showcase some of our outstanding supporters! Additionally, we want all of our Health Mentors to know they have a surprise gift coming their way soon! We know you didn’t have to, but it’s a true testament to all of our hard work here that you would refer us to a friend or family member in need. Here are the members we’ve selected as this month’s honorees: 1. Hilda Rivera Powell

2. Gloria Paknis 3. Yaneth Lara 4. Jay Sosa 5. Hyacinth Koorasingh 6. Carole McGarry 7. Janet Smith 8. Kirton Maureen

LIMBERING UP FOR YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP

Even though road trips offer you a break from the monotony of your office, the stiffness in your muscles and joints that comes from sitting in one position for too long can follow you onto the road if you’re not careful. Whether in front of a laptop or behind the wheel, taking the opportunity to stretch and exercise on your summer road trip is a great way to prevent the soreness from following you back to the office. Here are a few stretches to keep in mind for the next rest stop.

You can do a similar stretch by bending downward while keeping your hands on your car door in front of you, stretching your entire upper body. While you’re driving, a good way to prevent sore hips is by making sure your knees are slightly elevated above them in your seat. Once you have the opportunity to stop, try doing some hip flexors. Kneel on one knee, slowly push your pelvis forward, squeeze your shoulders back, and open your chest. Hold this position for 15 seconds, then repeat while kneeling on the other knee. FOR THE HIPS
