Most people aren't aware of what PT's do and even what physical therapy is. I'm hoping this week's episode can give some clarity. We talk briefly about my clinic in Bridgewater, Physical Therapy U, but mostly we talk about how PT can help you! This is by far my favorite topic and I hope you enjoy my excitement as well. Find out how we can help you and everyone else in today's episode! And, oh ya, I let Ian cohost this one (insert your emoji of choice here).

Listen in as we talk with owner Becky Fernandes about the newest business in downtown Bridgewater, Releve Barre Studio. Becky fills us in on her fitness journey from dancer to owner. We discuss what Barre class is, the various types of classes that exist at her studio and how you can get started with Releve today! This type of exercise class is both exciting and addicting.

Ever wonder what medicinal marijuana is all about? Listen in as we hear from Kate, the Bridgewater dispensary manager (and nursing student), who explains to me (the girl who just had to google how to spell marijuana) what cannabis is all about. We talk about what products are sold at Theory Wellness, the various effects of the products, and the journey it takes all the way from seed to product. We discuss a little about addiction and why medicinal marijuana is different than an opiod product.

If you have any questions in regards to if medicinal marijuana is right for you, I recommend talking directly with your primary care physician...just like many drugs marijuana is NOT for everyone and needs to be PRESCRIBED by a licensed professional/medical doctor.
