Violets, and Buttercups and Tiger Lily’s, Oh My!

I know it’s hard to believe, but gardening season is coming up shortly. Pretty soon we’ll be trading in bags of salt for bags of mulch, and making elaborate plans for our flower beds. For most people, gardening is a hobby. For others, it is a complete pain, literally. 

We’ve put together 10 exercises and stretches that you can do right at home to avoid or relieve pain from gardening. Read the full blog here.

“For the past two years I have come [to Back in Motion] for both my knee and my back. My past sessions for my knee was a big improvement after coming here. Then I came here for my back and at first I wasn’t able to get out of bed properly without crippling. Since treating, my daughter and I have noticed lots of improvement and no pain in my back at all.

Casey has been very helpful and so has all the other staff.

I loved coming to my appointments knowing that at the end of the day I’ll be feeling happy with no pain. I would recommend this place to others!” -Bari H.
