Success Story

I came to Healing Bridge with a pelvis that was off, and lower back, neck, and shoulder pain due to a motor vehicle accident. Zeyla realigned my pelvis. Both Zeyla and Nancy worked with me through education and exercises to help me improve wellness from the pain and recurring pain. I felt targeted exercises like keegles, strings, abdomen pull and conscientiousness (timing while washing hands) has really broadened my awareness and conscientious thought process to hopefully continue beyond Healing Bridge therapy in my recovery process.

Thank you so much Zeyla and Nancy. You both are amazing physical therapists that have truly helped me. Thank you!!!

Allison's class was phenomenal.

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.

10 healthy tips for the 4th of July

Celebrate the 4th of July and remember to stay healthy!

  • Fill up on 2 glasses of water before having that hamburger smothered with all the fixings.
  • Park your car down the street from Pilot Butte and then walk to the base to watch the fireworks.
  • Go for a walk up Pilot Butte on the 5th and see where they put out all the potential fires.
  • Drink plenty of water eat lots of fresh fruit.
  • Celebrate the 4th and stay cool by making red, white and blue water balloons and having a fun water balloon fight.
  • Wear sunscreen and re-apply frequently.

  • Take time to call a loved one and wish them a happy 4th of July.
  • Walk around while chatting so you get some exercise too.
  • Enjoy the festivities by going to the parade and walking with your children and/or your pets.
  • Give thanks for your freedom and that in the United States we get to make our own independent choices - and even though they may differ from our neighbors, we can still share a good talk at the mailbox, watch each others pets when we're out of town, and share the holidays that make us uniquely American.

Learn how to resolve long lasting pain experiences and what kind of exercise is safe even if there is some pain and discomfort.
