Welcome!
Dizziness: When the World is spinning...
Remember, as a kid, getting off the Merry Go Round after a particularly fast spin, and laughing as you fell to the ground, dizzy? Or, as an adult, did you ever go for a long sail boat ride and stand on solid ground, only to feel, for a moment, that the ground was moving beneath you?
Imagine how it would feel if the ground was always moving. And you had to touch the wall just to walk down the hall. Dizziness is no laughing matter when part of your every day life. Fortunately, effective treatment for many of the causes of dizziness is available at ALTA. Learn more

Pilates for Flexibility
 Thinking back, it was about a decade ago that I first started to feel less flexible. After running or skiing, I got a little stiff on the car ride home. The question crossed my mind- how long I could keep this up? It was about then that I took my first Pilates class. And now, with a stronger core, I see no end in sight to the things I can do.
Core strength is an essential part of every good fitness program. Why then, when the time comes to get down on the floor and do my core work-out, am I the first one to find an excuse? No one has to push me to run or ski, but I need a little nudge to work my core. That's why I take Pilates classes. Afterwards, I feel tired, yet relaxed, and I know I've done something really good for myself. If you need a little nudge, sign up for a Pilates class. We have the perfect after work class at 5:30 on Thursdays or check the website to see our other great options.

Beware of
Bucket Seats.
Does driving make your back hurt? If so, check the angle of the pan (the part of the seat you sit on). Is it higher at the front than the back? If so, your knees will be higher than your hips, causing stress on the posterior elements of your back. (Over years, we've noticed that Subarus are particularly angled and hard on backs.) A good solution to bad car seats is a cushion to even out the pan.
Ask your therapist about a lumbar wedge; it could make your next car trip a lot more comfortable.
