Think Vaping is Better Than Smoking? Think Again!

Vaping (also commonly known as juuling) is generally thought of as a “safer” alternative to smoking, but it is actually as harmful and addictive as smoking. E-cigarette smokers can be addicted just as easily to vaping as tobacco cigarettes and vaping can be as bad as smoking an entire pack. It can raise your heart rate and blood pressure, cause lung disease and subject you to chronic bronchitis. Join us for What you Can’t See & What They Don’t Want You to See on May 1 to learn more.

Well Child Exam versus an

Athletic Physical

Tracking your child’s health progress as they age is important. Most parents think that an athletic physical replaces an annual health exam, but the athletic physical is a limited check focused on sport readiness. A well child exam, covered by most insurances, is a more comprehensive look at not only your child’s physical health, but also developmental, emotional and social aspects of your child’s health. 

Calling FAST Athletes

Floyd Valley Therapies will be offering the 17th Annual FAST (Functional Agility Speed Training) Program this summer. This program will develop better athletic movement allowing for increased capacity to perform in a sport. FAST is tailored for the individual athlete, not a one-size fits all canned program. Athletes will be tested for movement quality and an individualized program for conditioning will be developed using corrective exercise and movement preparation. In short, this will develop a better athlete with fewer risk factors for injury.
