Happy Summer 2018! The summer season has begun, which means long days of sun (we hope), warm weather (we hope, again), and for many of us....VACATION!  We look forward to this all year long, as a getaway brings exploring new or favorite places, trying seasonal foods, and a change of routine. One routine…

Life is so much more interesting when we diversify our experiences, and having variety in our lives is beneficial for both the body and mind. One important way to add such variety is in movement.  With several hundred muscles and joints in our bodies, we are inherently designed to move in countless ways.…

The snow has finally melted, the trails are drying out, and the rain has washed away loose gravel from the road. I have been eager to get out on the bike and soak up the elusive Vermont sunny summer rays. Before this happens, I wanted to discuss bike safety.  While wearing the proper protective equipment…

C’est la vie! That’s why I love this particular…

You heard me – curling REALLY is an Olympic Sport!  Four of us found that out a few weeks ago when we participated in the Howard Center’s 2018 Curling Challenge at Cairns Arena in South Burlington.  We PT360ers love fundraising events, especially when it takes the form of a fun challenge, so of course…

Plantar Fasciitis. By now, you’ve probably heard this diagnosis term thrown around among friends, coworkers, or family members. It seems like everyone and their brother has struggled with this nagging foot pain. So, what exactly is plantar fascia? Fascia is a type of connective tissue that can be found…

As springtime approaches and the days become longer, many of us take our workouts from inside to the great outdoors. Whether you enjoy walking, biking, hiking, running or any other activity (how about unicycling?), it’s important to know how to warm up properly. This is especially true if you have had…

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” -Benjamin Franklin   On this Valentine’s Day, many of us shared wonderful gifts to celebrate our love and commitment to a special someone. With Valentine’s Day now behind us, how about we express our care for loved ones in a different way, by showing…
