Make the most of it. Explore these pages for resources to help you make your life more healthful and fulfilling this year. photo courtesy mahonia gardens Spring is the season to start focusing on leading a more healthful, well-bal- anced life. Time to off-load some stress, get outdoors, time to enjoy the beauties and challenges of the outdoor wonder- land that is Sisters Country. It’s also an injury-prone season, since we all tend to want to do too much too soon, to tackle the yard work all at once or hit the trail for miles and miles. Whether you are looking to be more health-conscious and active, or trying to avoid or recover from the strains of being too active, you can find the services you need in Sisters. In addition to all its natural advan- tages, Sisters is home to service providers and health practitioners whose mission is to preserve and enhance your health and well-being. It is a remarkable blessing to be able to live in a relatively remote area with a healthy environment, yet have so many Therapeutic Associates Sometimes our active lifestyles in Sisters Country have a downside: You get injured. Fortunately, we have Therapeutic Associates physical therapy to help us heal up — or avoid get- ting sidelined in the first place. To that end, they’ll host a golf fitness clinic in early May, so you can swing into the season safe and strong. Therapeutic Associates is conveniently located on the FivePine Campus next to Sisters Athletic Club, which allows them to use the SAC pool for aquatic therapy, one of the best rehab protocols available. You can also “step down” your rehab from full-on physical therapy to recovery and strengthen- ing work at the club with a trainer. Young athletes can get their injuries evaluated and treated at a free clinic with Alex Walker each Wednesday and Thursday morning from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. That’s part of Therapeutic Associates’ commitment to keeping youth safe and out on the court or playing field.
