Telehealth Physical Therapy
With the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, and subsequent social distancing and business closures, EVOLVE is now offering physical therapy services via telehealth.
We strive to provide the same level of high quality services over the internet, primarily using a HIPAA-secure videoconferencing system. Using this system, we believe that we can still provide you with the highest quality physical therapy care.
It's Time To Do Fitness Better
EVOLVE may look like a lot of other gyms. We have barbells, weight plates, kettlebells, dumbbells, rowers, and assault bikes ( what one of our members prefers to call “ass bikes”). But here’s the thing: We aren’t the same. Here’s why: We don’t have, scales, mirrors, transformation challenges, or diets. Oh, and we did this on purpose. Weird right?
To Supplement or Not To Supplement?
One of the number one questions that I receive as a Registered Dietitian is, “Should I be taking supplements?”. My answer is always, “Well… it depends.”
What cause a muscle to feel tight? Should I stretch?
I get asked almost daily about muscle tightness or stretching. Stretching has a certain place in our culture that’s up there with juice cleanses as a supposed elixir of life. Something tight, or hurting? Stretch it out! Need a morning routine, warm up routine, or cool down routine? Let’s throw in some stretching. Have a new injury? Must be from some tight muscles. Right?
Well… maybe. As always, the truth is complicated. The sensation of muscle tightness, or needing to stretch a muscle, is actually a complex neurological phenomenon.
The Keto Diet: The Truth Will Set You Free, But...
“The truth will set you free… but first it will piss you off”- Gloria Steinem (Made more famous by Pharrel and Rihanna)
Today I am diving into waters that I have previously ran from like the plague. Whenever I see and hear crazy hype about the newest diet on social media and podcasts, I inherently cringe and want to go hide under a rock. Why? Because I know that I’ll see friends, family members, patients, and random people on the street trying that newest diet, and then asking me if I, too, think that it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. But as it turns out, I still love bread (slices or otherwise), and today, I feel compelled to write this post. We’re going deep about the ketogenic diet. We’re going to discuss real biochemistry and science. I’m going to cite peer reviewed scientific literature. And most importantly, we’ll discuss, as we always do, how you can practically eat and truly BE healthy in the real world. Here. We. Go.
EVOLVE Flagstaff Physical Therapy Manifesto
EVOLVE Flagstaff was created to help our community avoid injury and disease, and to do what they love, for life. Our team is driven to help you reach your potential, which is not possible if you are hurting, cannot move the way you want, or are not nourishing your body well with the proper foods and lifestyle habits.
EVOLVE Flagstaff physical therapy operates differently than a standard physical therapy clinic. This manifesto outlines our standards of care and thought process. We will strive to provide this level of care to every patient, every time.
