6th Anual Healing Hands for Healthy Hooters

In 2005 Emma started the "Healing Hands for Healthy Hooters" program. Every year Emma has donated 50% of the proceeds of her hour long massages and gift certificate sales through the month of October to Breast Cancer charities/foundations. Over the last 6 years you our patients have helped us donate over $7000 to help the fight against breast cancer.

How breast cancer has affected me

“After seeing my Grandma and my Aunty Jean suffer through the mental and physical challenges of fighting breast cancer, I also noticed the huge toll the physical changes made to their confidence and especially the way they felt about themselves. There was little to no help offered to find wigs or prostheses, or even a lotion that would not irritate their skin. That is why this year I have decided to support Eden Spa at Florida Hospital .”

At the Eden Spa women can experience the kind of special services that renew the spirit and rejuvenate the body. They offer a full salon using safe products for chemo and irradiated skin, provide hair enhancements and wigs, mastectomy and post surgical bras and forms. Eden Spa also offers out patient lymphedema therapy and compression garments (ready to wear and custom).

As this is part of the hospital many of the services are covered by health insurance, however Eden Spa pride themselves on providing the patient what is needed not just what is a covered benefit. It is this attention to the patient’s needs that has inspired Emma to support their efforts this year with the annual Healing Hands for Healthy Hooters event.

I know many of you support women fighting cancer in many ways, why not treat yourself to a massage while you help us raise money. 50% of every hour long massage will go directly to the Eden Spa at Altamonte Springs

SUPPORT BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

In 2005 Emma started the "Healing Hands for Healthy Hooters" program. Every year Emma has donated 50% of the proceeds of her hour long massages through the month of October to the Susan G. Komen foundation and the American Cancer Society.

Over the last 5 years you our patients have helped us donate over $6000 to help the fight against breast cancer.

This year we are extending our efforts to include the hour long massage performed by any of our therapists and at both our locations.I know many of you support breast cancer research in many ways, but this year why not treat yourself to a massage while you help us raise money.

To make it more affordable and to help us raise more money for research, we are offerring a discount on the usual price of our hour long massage to $50.

$25 of every hour long massage will go directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and American Cancer Society.

Plantar Fascitis

Hey everyone it has been a while since I have posted but here goes. This month has seen a lot of people comming in with plantar fasciitis.

As well you know Florida is the flip flop capital of America and tile floors are everywhere. Add to that gaining a few pounds over the 4th July weekend and the pressure on our heels is amazing.

HELP IS AT HAND! (or at least at foot)

Here are my tips

Get softer flip flops, or wear sneakers
Put a gell insert in your hard soled shoes
Use ice every night for 15 mins under the heels
Stretch out the Achilles tendons

There are alot of treatment options available to you at physical therapy also:

massage
Stretching
ultrasound
electrical stimulation
iontophoresis
phonophoresis
cold laser

Call me and schedule a free consultation 407-657-5029 at Winter Park, Or call Amanda in our Waterford Lakes office at 407-218-4660

Great find

I have found an excellent website called Cyber PT. They have great articles and video clips of exercises. Just follow the link on my site at www.pt-works.com/links.asp and check it out.
Before doing any of the exercises check with your physical therapist that this is appropriate for you.

Have a healthy day.

Eric
