| New Leaf Physical Therapy has been closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic response efforts, and plans for re-opening of businesses. On May 18, 2020 the office will re-open for in person Physical Therapy by appointment with Dr. Stephanie Leaf. Virtual PT will still be available. Private pilates, and classes will remain virtual. Safety is our main concern and we ask everyone to weigh the risk of exposure vs. staying home, in regards to scheduling appointments. What we are doing to protect you: Wearing masks to limit air contamination. We ask that you please wear a mask in the studio. Washing hands before and after each treatment. Clients entering the studio should immediately wash or use hand sanitizer. Scheduling patients in 1 hour intervals to avoid any overlap between patients, and treatment sessions will be shortened to 45 minutes. You and your therapist will have the entire office to yourselves. Sanitizing the office between each appointment. This includes high touch areas, individual treatment rooms, and any equipment that you may come in contact with. New Leaf PT is here for you virtually and in person when you are ready. If you have any concerns, or recommendations, about our safety protocols please feel free to reply to this email so we can continue to help and support each other during this reopening transition.

Fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider’s web or a sweater and is a continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption.  Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create Myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many tests (x-rays, MRI’s).  A high percentage of people suffering with pain and/or lack of motion may be having fascial problems, but are not diagnosed.

Continue reading below for  Stephanie’s story.
Last year I went on a wellness journey. Â I was feeling out of sorts constantly, with massive headaches, hormonal imbalances, and chronic sinus infections that doctors wanted to operate on even though they could not say the operation would be successful. Â I had hit a wall. Â I was exercising regularly, but i was caught up in bad eating habits. Â I was in bad routines letting my busy schedule as a physical therapist, mom, wife, and business owner take over and not carving out time to take care of myself. Â I was over caffeinated and filling my body with processed foods after not eating all day long. Â Something had to give or i was going to break.
I began working with a functional medicine doctor and health coaches. Â The first step was to detox my body. Â I spent 90 days on a clean food core diet, added in prescribed supplements, and began to see changes. Â The initial changes to diet were hard, very hard, and I had to make concentrated efforts to stick with the program. Â Friends and family were supportive and knew this was a good thing for me, as they witnessed my transformations, and saw that I began to be more present again in all aspects of my life. Â Little by little I was able to re-introduce foods back to my diet and then i was able to discover the exact things that were setting off my headaches and sinus infections. Â Obviously those items I try to avoid, but my diet is more balanced and clean now.
I was motivated by the early changes that were happening. Â I kept up my regular routine of movement and exercise, and now have a daily meditation practice. The physical changes in my body were easy to see on the outside, but even more profound was the mental alignment and clarity happening inside.
The positive lifestyle changes helped me in the expansion of New Leaf Physical Therapy. Â I love being a physical therapist and helping patients rehab and learn about their bodies. Â Now I am able to help you further in your wellness journeys at New Leaf with our amazing new studio, movement specialists, and daily classes.
That is my story which i am happy to share if it can help anyone else begin their own journey and make some positive changes.

Better Birth Weight for Babies of Exercisers
I treat many women pre, during and post pregnancy and always encourage cardiovascular and stabilization exercises. Strengthening your pelvic floor and spinal stabilizers helps reudce pain, ease childbirth, and overall mental and physical health. The following article discusses how it also benefits your baby and sets him/her up for a healthier life too. It is never to early to start thinking about our childrens’ well being too.
