Staff Update – A Bittersweet Goodbye & a Warm Welcome

Kim, Dr Robby, Allison, Karen

We recently said goodbye to Allison one of our incredible front desk team members after 6+ years. Allison is moving on to new adventures, and while she’ll be missed, we’re excited for her next chapter.

We’re thrilled to welcome Vanessa, who will be joining the front office team soon!

Our front desk crew is truly the heart of the clinic. Kim, Karen, and Vanessa help keep everything flowing smoothly—whether you’re scheduling an appointment, checking in, or asking a billing question. And don’t worry—Paige is stepping in to help out and is happy to assist when you call.

Patient success stories:

A big thanks to John Shegerian for sharing his success with his post surgical recovery. John recently reported that after a major ankle fracture and 2 surgeries he’s improved so much that weather changes, long international flights and walking 15,000-17,000 steps a day no longer produce ankle pain with every step. (See news link above for the full story). There’s still a long road ahead for John but he’s getting there one step, one appointment, one home exercise session at a time.

John is a testament to what consistency, determination, good hands-on physical therapy, and adherence to a home exercise program can accomplish.

🏃‍♀️ Health Tip: Daily Walking for Longevity

-inspired by John’s story

Incorporating daily walking into your routine can significantly enhance your health and longevity. A comprehensive review published in the Journal of Preventive Medicine and Hygiene highlights that regular physical activity, such as walking, plays a substantial role in reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases—including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers—in a dose-dependent manner. Regular exercise is also associated with numerous health benefits and delayed mortality.

Key Takeaways:

•Cardiovascular Health: Regular walking helps lower blood pressure and improves heart health.

•Metabolic Benefits: It aids in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and body weight.

•Mental Well-being: Walking can reduce stress and enhance mood.

•Longevity: Consistent physical activity is linked to a longer, healthier life.

Recommendation: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity walking each week, which breaks down to about 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Remember, even short bouts of walking throughout the day contribute to these benefits.
