STOP doomscrolling on the toilet!
The butt, neck and head you save may be your own!
Did you know that people who take their smartphones into the bathroom with them are nearly 40% more likely to sit on the toilet for a lot longer than it takes to complete their business? Sometimes up to 30 minutes or more!
Sitting over a hole for prolonged periods does not provide the proper support that pelvic floor muscles need, and can lead to rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, and even incontinence. And it gets worse when we consider the germs and damage to your head, neck and shoulder posture.
In this all-new Wellness Connection video, Dr. Matt discusses why doomscrolling on the toilet is a BAD idea! So, watch what he has to say, then leave the smartphone outside while you take care of business in 5 minutes or less!
If you find yourself suffering symptoms of rectal prolapse, hemorrhoids, or incontinence, our pelvic floor team is standing by ready to help you. And if your poor toilet doomscrolling posture has your head, neck and shoulders feeling out of sorts, Allied’s craniofacial team can help. Just call (239) 242-0070 to make an appointment, or visit us online at alliedpt.com for more information.

Medicare Open Enrollment
Now through December 7th
Do your homework and review your benefits! Some prestigious healthcare providers are ending their Advantage Plan affiliations.
Could you be affected?
Allied recommends Traditional Medicare for your choice of healthcare provider – without the hassle of pre-authorization, possible denial, and filing appeals to receive necessary healthcare.
Although Traditional Medicare may not be right for everyone, you deserve the best care possible – so review your benefits carefully and make an educated choice about what is best for YOU!
