One week until Halloween! ???? This Halloween, consider handing out healthier alternatives to the kiddos instead of sugary treats. Let's be real, they'll get enough candy from other houses as is...and the cost of a variety bag of candy is crazy expensive! #balancedfitnessandhealth #livebalanced #occupationaltherapy #physicaltherapy #hiawatha #cedarrapids #halloweenideas

The goal of Breast Cancer Awareness month is to increase awareness of the disease and stress the importance of early detection. Melissa, our owner and CEO and survivor herself has created a program specifically for Breast Cancer Support.

This past Sunday the BF&H team walked in the Especially For You Walk Against Breast Cancer in honor of our very own Melissa White and many other breast cancer survivors! It was a beautiful day - so meaningful and empowering! #balancedfitnessandhealth #physicaltherapy #occupationaltherapy #cedarrapids #hiawatha #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #noonefightsalone

We want you to know that early detection is the best defense against breast cancer, and mammography has been the gold standard of screening exams for some time. We encourage you and your loved ones to have regular screenings! The Society of Breast Imaging recommends that a woman at average risk for breast cancer begin getting annual mammograms at age 40. Patients with a higher-than-average risk, for example because they have a family history of breast cancer or known genetic mutations such as the BRCA gene, are generally urged to start earlier. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #balancedfitnessandhealth #physicaltherapy #occupationaltherapy #cedarrapids #hiawatha #livebalanced

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Let's empower each other with awareness and emphasize the importance of early detection and proactive medical care. Early detection and diagnosis increases the chances of successful treatment and can save lives ?? #balancedfitnessandhealth #livebalanced #cedarrapids #hiawatha #physicaltherapy #occupationaltherapy #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #fightlikeagirl #morethanpink

???????? ???????? ???????????!? Try out this ?????? ????????????/???????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????! Sitting all day can cause these muscles to tighten up, but you can conveniently get a nice hip flexor and quad stretch without leaving your desk! Start by sitting on the edge of your chair. Bring the foot of the side you plan to stretch behind you so your toe is firmly planted. Your knee should be at a 90* angle. Then, gently bring your pelvis forward until you feel a good stretch. If that doesn't bring on a "stretchy feeling," try tucking your pelvis down like you're "tucking your tailfeathers." Hold for 30 seconds and perform 2x each side! #hiawatha #cedarrapids #physicaltherapy #occupationaltherapy #feelgood #livebalanced
