Functional Friday 5/3

Happy Friday! 🌮 Cinco De Mayo is coming up, which makes for a great excuse to eat an endless amount of tacos and drink as many margs as you desire.

Inspiration:

• Pain is a constant, the choice about how we react to it is the thing that dictates the path of our lives

  • Are you a hero or a villain? Heroes use their pain and make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else, villains take their pain and inflict it on others

Education:

• 🏃 Curious about plyometric exercises to help with your running? Try out this progression of exercises

• 🦐 Ever wonder what it feels like to be a shrimp? Give this challenge a try

• 🇲🇽 Did you know that Cinco De Mayo is a celebration of Mexico’s Victory over the Second French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862?

• ❓️ Have any questions? Book a free 15-minute discovery call with one of our Doctors of Physical Therapy!

Forward Physio Weekly Recap:

• Coffee with Dr. Dyllon, owner of “The Source Chiropractic” in St. Pete. We had the opportunity to talk about life, starting and running a successful business, and the things we’re passionate about. We all agreed on the significance of being healthcare providers who genuinely care about you and your overall well-being, not just your injury. Dr. Dyllon takes a holistic approach to healthcare (much like ourselves) to promote healing naturally, as opposed to surgery, pills, and other medications. We highly recommend stopping by his clinic for the immaculate vibes.

• Armature Works Run Club! If you enjoy running/jogging/moving your legs and being by the river, this run club is for you! There is a set route that equates to a 5k and different pace groups. We definitely enjoyed ourselves, as did Mia! Check it out on the first and third Wednesday of every month from 6:30-8 PM. Newcomers welcome!
