PTC Miami

Hey Miami! It’s Mango Season! 🥭 Mangos are ripe and ready, and there are tons of other local, seasonal fruits available this time of year. Check your local farmer’s market for fruits like mangoes, watermelon, guava, lychees, longan, passion fruit, and avocados. 🥭🍉🥑

Fruits are hydrating and full of antioxidants, as well as many other vitamins. They’ll keep your immunity high and keep you hydrated while temperatures are rising! 💦☀️

Compression in the spine happens naturally throughout life. Sitting for long periods, bouncy movements like walking, or working out, and even carrying your kids can all lead to compression within the spinal column. 🔙

Although it is entirely normal, too much spinal compression can lead to painful effects… especially as we age. Spinal compression leads to compression of the spinal cord and nerves between the vertebrae, and/or rubbing and degeneration of the vertebrae. This is why it is important to work with a chiropractor like Dr. Hudson for decompressive techniques and adjustments. 🫱

Regular chiropractic appointments help to ensure optimal health, longevity, and ease of movement through your spine. ⭐️

🌈 During Pride Month and year round at PTC we believe that everyone could use some vitamin D…you know the vitamin we produce naturally when we are exposed to healthy amounts of sunshine! 😉

Vitamin D makes our bodies better at absorbing other nutrients, like calcium and phosphorus, both vital for optimal bone health. It helps restore and maintain the calcium in bones so they never become fragile.

Vitamin D boosts immune defense the ability to overcome viruses, bacteria, and other toxins in the environment, and a little sunshine just feels good! ☀️

With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, work, family, and juggling everything else, it's easy to lose your footing. Take in the frequencies of the Earth to balance and calibrate your cells by walking barefoot (on a natural Earth surface) for a few minutes each morning. It's called “grounding” or “Earthing”. 🌍️🦶

Whether it’s a barefoot stroll on the beach, or stepping onto the grass in your yard, you can experience significant improvement to your physiological well-being when the electrons from the Earth can move into and through your body.

Some of the benefits of grounding include: improved sleep, normalized day and night cortisol rhythms, reduced stress, and it’s even good for your posture!👣

Self-care calling? We’ve got the answer! Make an appointment with one of our massage therapists or chiropractors. Ease your tensions, align your body, clear your sinuses, and do something healthy for you. 💆‍♀️

No matter what you choose to do, here at PTC is here to support your self-care journey.

Reduce the number of neurotoxins and VOCs (chemicals that vaporize at room temperature) you expose your family to by making your cleaning products! 🫧

Homemade cleaners are usually free of harmful chemicals and excess plastic waste. Try a simple recipe like combining leftover citrus rinds, vinegar, and water stored in a spray bottle. 🧼

Healthier alternatives like this can have a surprising impact on your health and cost less money than the traditional chemical based products!

Inversions are an amazing way to increase blood flow to the entire body and safely exercise your heart. Inversions come in all shapes and sizes and can be accessible to anyone. 🔄

If you want the benefit of an inversion without intense effort, sit on the floor and scoot your bum to the edge of a wall. Lay back and lift the legs so that they’re going up the wall.

You’ll feel relief from the feet and legs as you allow the blood to circulate out of them and relieve pressure from gravitational pull on your joints.

Just grab a friend and get upside down! 🙃

Did you know that you can reap different benefits from the same teas and herbs by choosing how to prepare them? ❄️🔥

Cold infusions preserve the mineral content of herbs and barks best, while hot infusions extract and concentrate nutrients more. 🫖

Decoctions are usually best used for roots and involve boiling plant substances for longer periods which removes heavy minerals from the plants so that they can be ingested and digested more effectively. ☕️
