They also offer aquatic therapy.Folks in Sisters strive to stay healthy, active, and indepen dent through their senior years — and physical therapy can be a big help in doing so. Therapeutic Associates can help clients build functional strength and balance, which are keys to well-being, espe cially as we age. Through custom ized programming, Therapeutic Associates’ physical therapists can help their clients prevent falls and injuries.“Wetypically look at multiple systems there,” Kirchoff said.
By being proactive with physi cal therapy, we can shorten our time on the bench when injured, and build our resilience so we can continue to enjoy all that the Sisters way of life has to offer.
Nothing could be more impor tant than proactively working to maintain and improve function.
“That’s typically a good time to come in and get it evaluated,” Kirchoff said.
In Oregon, we can go to a phys ical therapist (PT) directly, with out a referral from a doctor. That means we can judge when we need to act on that nagging pain that’s hobblingIntensityus. and duration of pain is the measure of the need to act. Pain that continues for a week means a trip to the PT is in order.

Whether we’re out on the trail, working in the garden, or raking up the pine needles or shoveling the snow off the walkway, life in Sisters Country can sometimes dish out injuries. And it’s best to address them early.
“Improving your strength and balance can be the difference in continuing to live independently or not,” Kirchoff said.
Early action is key to quick recovery
We live in a beautiful place and enjoy the benefits of living in a small community with lots of interpersonal connections — but none of us are immune from the stresses and wounds that life deals out. We are all subject to bouts of anxiety and depression — for some, deep-seated — and that has only been exacerbated by the strains and uncertainties we have endured over the past several years.
There’s a benefit to being proactive about address ing those stresses. When we are ques tioning why we are facing tough times and difficult feelings, when we feel adrift, and lacking in a sense of meaning and purpose, when we don’t know how to be who we were meant to be — that’s the right time to connect with a Jennifercounselor.Sowers, LPC, helps her clients move from being reactive to being responsive in managing the struggles they may face.

“We have people of all ages who access the fitness programs we do have,” Holland said.

Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD) is on a mission to help folks in the Sisters community access health and fitness programming that fits into their schedule and budget — and their lifestyle.Programming that was pared back or went away because of the pandemic is coming back — with new“We’readditions.really focusing on adding back and increasing our fitness activities,” said Jennifer Holland, SPRD executive director.

But SPRD is not oriented solely toward senior fitness.
“It’ll at least be through the fall, and we hope to continue that through the new year,” Holland said.With all of their offerings, SPRD is striving to be a true partner in building the health, fitness, and well-being of the whole Sisters community.

Each gym is maintaining its own identity, in order to serve people with different needs and desires for their workout space. Level 5 continues to offer crossfit and is Olympic lifting-friendly, and operates at “a little higher intensity,” according to Hudson.
“That’ll be the place you can go in and do those videobased fitness classes,” Hudson said.
The passion for communicating the joys and benefits of strength training underpin Hudson’s efforts, and that’s what has kept him in action in Sisters for the past 10 years. He wants everybody to have access to equipment and coaching to reap the benefits of getting the body moving and lifting heavy things.

Hudson’s thinking is that many members will emphasize one or the other gym more or less exclusively — but some will alternate depending on what kind of workout they want, and how they’re feeling on a given day. The two gyms are set up to accommodate that approach, essentially offering members a second gym for free.

The 6,000-square-foot Level 5 continues to devote ample space for crossfit workouts and Olympic lifting.However, Hudson notes, most of the members at Level 5 are selfsufficient and independent, working their own program.
“I’ve got over 500 people who just do their own thing,” he said.
When he heard that Sisters’ first gym, Cascade Fitness, had lost its lease and was going to have to close, he made a decision: He would acquire the gym and all of its equipment, and move it in to a space just 200 feet away from his Level 5 gym. Now gym members have 24/7 card-lock access to either gym, or both, for $59 per month, with no contract and no initiation fee.

Ryan Hudson is passionate about providing access to the benefits of weight training to the Sisters community. The owner of Level 5 CrossFit Sisters is a champion weightlifter, a coach and, as of September, the owner of not one, but two gyms in Sisters.
Level 5, with 700 members is growing organically, and Hudson sees the facilities working synergistically, to everyone’s benefit.
Both Level 5 and Cascade Fitness are located in Outlaw Station shopping center on Arrowleaf Trail next to Ray’s Food Place. For information visit www.cascadefit.com.
In recent decades, the medical field and the health and fitness world have recognized that consistent strength training has significant benefits for everybody, and especially as we age. The Mayo Clinic cites the importance of strength training in an overall fitness program:Strength training may help you:
• Develop strong bones. By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.•Manage your weight.
• Sharpen your thinking skills. Some research suggests that regular strength training and aerobic exercise may help improve thinking and learning skills for older adults.
Weight training used to be perceived as the province of bodybuilders or highlevel athletes. Many myths discouraged regular folks from lifting out of concern that they’d “bulk up” or get “muscle bound.”
“I think the membership is going to grow and we’ll be at 1,000 members pretty quickly — with the space and equipment to serve all of them,” Hudson said.
The benefits of strength training
• Manage chronic conditions. Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, obesity, heart disease, depression and diabetes.

Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.
“It was almost like a funded expansion,” he said.
Any way you choose to do it — it’s good for you.
Cascade Fitness has 200 members, which helped Hudson make the move to bring the gym in in tandem with his other operation.

Gilmore Dental wants to help people take charge of their own oral health — to stay on top of it and act early if there are concerns so that a concern doesn’t become a costly and dangerous crisis.

They’re glad to see you — not just because you’re spending money but they’re genuinely glad to see you.”
Dental health is critical to overall wellbeing
Our teeth are much more than tools we use to chew our food and pearly whites we flash in a smile. They are a critical part of a complex system that must be kept in good condition if we are to lead healthy lives. Gilmore Dental understands that — and the whole staff is committed to helping folks in Central Oregon achieve good dental health as costeffectively — and as pleasantly — as possible.

Gilmore Dental meets a high standard of care. They’re not just going to do a quick cleaning — they need to know what’s going on in your mouth, which means thorough diagnostics, including x-rays. Remick understands that patients want to minimize time investment and financial costs — but minimizing or avoiding care ends up being more costly in the long run.
“You don’t pressure patients because you want their money — but because you want what’s best for them,” she said.
She can recount many instances where people have put off dealing with relatively straightforward dental issues — cavities, or even basic cleaning — until they become fullblown health crises. An abscess can be a very serious medical issue, even requiring hospitalization if infection spreads. Dental neglect always ends up costing the patient more — in pain, risk and dollars — than proactive measures would ever cost.

Remick and the rest of the staff at Gilmore Dental recognize that going to the dentist is not high on most people’s list of favorite activities. And they realize that there is a perception that dental offices pressure patients to come in regularly just so they can keep cash registers ringing.That’s not what it’s about at all, Remick asserts.

Educational videos help patients understand why proactive care is important.
Studies are increasingly showing connections between oral health and serious health concerns like heart disease. And what’s going on in the rest of the body can also be reflected in our oral health.
Gilmore Dental keeps abreast of best practices and the most effective technology to improve the patient experience. They do most of their work on-site, and can create same-day bridges and crowns, which means patients don’t have to wait days or weeks and put up with temporary devices. That’s all part of making the patient experience as pleasant as it can be.
The consequences of doing nothing can cause even more damage and irreparable problems. We see the consequences of doing nothing every single day.

Carol Statton has seen Green Ridge Physical Therapy & Wellness grow from just a couple of therapists and herself as a parttime receptionist to a thriving practice that features seven physi cal therapists with different spe cialties, a massage therapist, and herself in role of office manager.
Through that change and growth, one thing has remained a constant: Patient care is always at the forefront. The culture of Green Ridge Physical Therapy & Wellness comes directly from Greg Zadow, owner and physical therapist.“Wehave stayed privately owned, by him,” Statton noted. That means the practice is “prin ciples-and-values-guided by a physical therapist who owns the business.”Zadowhas built a team of high ly-skilled and trained profession als who share his values. And the practice is profoundly respected in the Sisters community.

Lack of access to good health care can be deadly.
After a Prineville fam ily lost their infant to a prevent able medical issue two decades ago, Mosaic Medical’s Ochoco Community Clinic was found ed to ensure that such access is available to anyone who needs it. Over the past two decades, Mosaic Medical has now grown to more than a dozen clinics pro viding quality care for all in Bend, Redmond, Madras and Prineville. The organization employs near ly 400 staff throughout the region.The nonprofit community health center serves Central Oregonians from all walks of life, offering integrated health ser vices including medical, dental, behavioral health, nutrition and medication.‘It’sreally a holistic approach,” said development officer Emily Boynton. “It puts the patient at the middle of all these services.”

In fact, correcting problems with bite and tooth alignment is vital to good health. A misaligned bite or crooked teeth can mean a lifetime of damaged teeth, and even problems chewing food and breathing.Andwe shouldn’t underestimate the importance of appearance. It’s not mere vanity. Bad teeth can affect both the way you carry yourself and the way others perceive you. Your smile has a big impact on how you walk in the world.“Definitely a smile is something that can make you feel vulnerable,” Woods said. “There’s a lot of reasons that the aesthetic component can be more than aesthetics. You carry yourself completely differently when you’re confident in the way you look.”
A smile is more than a smile at Woods Ortho
Getting to that great smile can be a daunting prospect, and for
practice less onerous on the patient, and more accurate and efficient for the practitioner.WoodsOrtho works in concert and partnership with dentists to cover all the bases of care. One of those partnerships is a real boon to Sisters residents. Woods Ortho
offers orthodontics appointments at Sisters Dental (call Woods Ortho at 541-385-3104 to schedule). Since orthodontics is an ongoing process, saving yourself trips to Bend is really beneficial.
Everybody wants to have a dazzling smile. At first glance, it seems that orthodontics is simply about looks.“From the outside looking in, orthodontics are often seen as ‘I want that movie star smile,’” said Chris Woods, who manages Woods Ortho in Bend.
“If you lean into that, it becomes a passion and she became really good at that,” said Chris Woods. “She’s pretty spectacular at putting people at ease. She’s a vibrant, upbeat person. That’s not just a skill set. That’s baked in.”
“Spectacular” is not an exaggeration. As their website notes: “If you are lucky enough to catch Dr. Woods when Whitney Houston’s ‘Wanna Dance With Somebody’ comes on, well, let’s just say, make sure you have your phone ready.”
