Celebration and Traditions

The holidays are rich with celebration and traditions–a time for shopping, cooking, travel, holiday parties, and all the other activities that make the holiday season so fun & festive. Over the years our family has made traditions of our own. Every year on Christmas Eve, we each open one gift of matching Christmas pajamas for thewholefamily.Asyoucan imaginewithahousefullof teenage boys, this tradition seems to get a little more difficult each year. We then move to a newer tradition of the ugly Christmas sock present. No explanation needed. We end the night by watching a Christmas movie... The Polar Express. First thing in the morning, it’s time for a Christmas time classic… homemade breakfastburritos!Afteropeningstockings,wereadthe

Christmas story from the Bible. This is one of the most cherishedtraditionswecelebrateeveryyear.Evenwith allthechaosoftheholidays,thesetraditionsarea few waysmy familyand Itaketimetoenjoyeachother.We want all of you to experience the holidays’ free of pain that is why we want to encourage you to look inside for the information about our HOLIDAY SURVIVAL KIT event we are hosting in early December.

Patient Success Story

After the first day, I could get my arm behindmyback. Iwasgrateful forthat accomplishment. Ihadtroubledressing, doingmyhair,driving,householdchores, sleeping and eating with my right arm. After a few weeks, I could dress, wash my hair, drive, do household chores, sleep, and eat without pain. That was awesome. I could not believe I would ever had accomplished that in just a few weeks of therapy. After I gained full flexibility of my right shoulder, the therapists began working on strength. Now I have gained strength to do everything I wanted to do. Jim and I had a great experience at Spa City Therapy and grateful to have had Lee, Jonathan, Josh and Randy to work with us. If we ever need physical therapyagain,wewilldefinitelychoose Spa City Therapy.” - Margaret M.

I have made major improvements & am ready to return to my regular activities & continue the stretching exercises for complete healing. Even though this sounds a bit strange, I actually looked forward to my therapy sessions… Every therapist, assistants, & office staff are extremely competent in their areas of expertise… They are young, enthusiastic, happy group who obviously enjoy working together & genuinely love their job… I strongly recommend Village Golf & Therapy… they are able to heal the body&trulytouchpeople’s’ lives inthe Village daily… I will miss all of them… Thank you for all you did for me & continue to do for the Village.” - Sharon S.

“I have gained strength to do everything”

“Thank you for all you did!” “I began physical therapy at Village Golf in September & have recently completed my therapy schedule. During my first visit, I had severe throbbing pain in my neck, shooting into the back of my head, lower back pain,&mildtingling inthe feet. Ihadn’t been sleeping well & discontinued my workout schedule at Coronado Fitness center to fully work on therapy & exercises designed to eliminate the problem areas.

“Jimand IchoseSpaCityTherapywhen he had back, leg and hip pain and I had a frozen shoulder due to a rotator cuff problem. After a few weeks Jim was free of leg and hip pain. His legs and hiphadpreventedhimfromwalkingand standing for long periods of time. Now hehasno legorhippainwhenhewalks or stands. I could not raise my arm or put it behind my back because of pain.

3 Simple Shopping Rules Spend less hours in the grocery store by following these rules: 1. Shop the perimeter of the grocery store, where fresh foods like fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, and fishareusually located.Avoidthecenteraisleswhere junk foods lurk. 2. Choose “real” foods, such as 100% fruit juice or 100%whole-grain itemswithas littleprocessingand as fewadditivesaspossible. Ifyouwantmoresaltor sugar, add it yourself. 3. Plan ahead for success. Before you set out for the market,planyourmeals fortheweek,andcreatea list to shop from. It takes a few minutes, but saves time in running back to the store for missing ingredients. Tips On Grocery Shopping For HEALTHY OPTIONS

Becomesupermarketsavvybycreatingchecklists for making healthier food choices in every department of your supermarket: Produce. Spendthemosttime intheproducesection, the first area you encounter in most grocery stores. Choose a rainbow of colorful fruits and vegetables. The colors reflect the different vitamin, mineral, and phytonutrient content of each fruit or vegetable. Meat, Fish, and Poultry. The American Heart Association recommendstwoservingsoffishaweek. Be sure to choose lean cuts of meat (like round, top sirloin, and tenderloin), opt for skinless poultry, and watch your portion sizes. Dairy. Dairy foods are an excellent source of bone- building calcium and vitamin D. There are plenty of low-fat and nonfat options to help you get three servings a day, including drinkable and single-serve tubeyogerts,andpre-portionedcheeses. Ifyouenjoy higher-fat cheeses, no problem -- just keep your portions small. Readytocommittoahealthier lifestyle in2019?Hollywood Athletics & Wellness will make it happen!

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

IS THIS YOUR PRE-HOLIDAY CHECKLIST?

Dear Valued Client, Carrying bags laden with goodies… …bending over for hours at a time wrapping presents…

…hunched over the table for what appears like days on end writing cards… …spending an entire evening trying to assemble flimsy plastic toys… …sitting around for hours watching repeats on TV…

Ah yes, the joys of the Holidays! Fun as it may be, it all takes its toll on our body and the last thing you want is for an old injury to flare up and cause you a problem over the festive break when you actually have a couple of days off… Especially when there’s no one around to put it right! Because there is nothing more important to us than making sure our patients are living a pain-free, healthy, “unhindered” life… …and as a way of saying a BIG THANK YOU for allowing us to serve you… …we are offering a select group of our clients the chance to get one of our exclusive “Holiday Survival Packages” on December 4th & 6th as well as December 11th & 13th to make sure they are the best they can be during the Holidays and beyond!
