Free Athletic Performance Training Clinic offer this opportunity to New Hampshire students for free,” noted Brian Verville, GSPT’s founder. “Our focus is really on encouraging area athletes who might not have access to summer training programs to get outside and move. The clinic is a great way for our athletic trainers and physical therapists to give back to the communities we serve while helping to prevent preseason injuries.”

Certified athletic trainers and licensed physical therapists are injury prevention specialists who are extensively trained in identifying movement patterns that could lead to injury and in injury prevention program design. GSPT’s athletic trainers often work at schools within the greater Concord area.

Their presence in the athletic environment helps to

reduce injury rates while also providing education and information about how athletes can best protect themselves on and off the field.

GSPT’s Head Athletic Trainer Madisen Glaze, a former athlete and coach, says that a focus on injury prevention increases the longevity of athletes. “Preventing injuries keeps athletes healthy and on the field, court, or track, competing without chronic pain or other performance issues,” says Glaze. “Our goal is to provide a quality, fun program that helps to reduce athletes’ risk for injuries. Ultimately, we want to keep them on the field and off the bench!”

For the second year in a row, Granite State Physical Therapy (GSPT) is hoping to decrease potential injuries in New Hampshire athletes by offering a free Athletic Performance Training Clinic in Concord starting this July.

Thousands of students in grades 6-12 participate in fall sports in New Hampshire, including cross country, field hockey, football, co-ed golf, soccer, spirit, unified soccer, and volleyball.

Without proper pre-season conditioning, young adults are more susceptible to common injuries, such as shin splints, sprains, and strains/tears.

The Athletic Performance Training Clinic will be held over five sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-7 p.m., beginning on July 16, at New Hampshire Technical Institute (NHTI) in Concord. Participants may register for single sessions or the full clinic.

Designed for athletes of all skill levels and abilities, participants will learn about injury prevention, strength and conditioning, mobility training, proper nutrition, and the importance of sleep and recovery to optimize performance. Participants will also explore exercise skills, such as core and glute activation, proper squat form, hip hinge mechanics, and learn about ways to care for minor injuries, like shin splints and mild sprains/strains. Coaches are also invited to participate in the clinics. All programming will be led by GSPT’s team of licensed physical therapists and certified athletic trainers.

“Sylvia Brofos has taught watercolor painting for nearly her whole career,” says Sophia Eastley, the show’s organizer. “She came to the states from England during World War II on a ship at age seven without family or friends when children were being evacuated from London during the bombing. She’s currently writing and illustrating a memoir of that time of her life.”

While watercolor is the medium of all the artists showing their work, the artists’ styles and techniques vary from impressionistic to illustrative.

“I have been exploring watercolor’s endless possibilities in Sylvia’s classes for more than three decades,”

n the upcoming exhibition at Two Villages Art Society (TVAS) in Hopkinton, eight New Hampshire artists show watercolor paintings inspired by nature.

The exhibition opens Saturday, July 6, at the gallery at 846 Main Street in the village of Contoocook. The show opens with a 12 – 2 p.m. reception free and open to the public.

The exhibiting artists are Fred Brewster, Sylvia Brofos, Sophia Eastley, Lenore Hall, Eva Kjellberg, Mary Jo McGowan, Carolyn Sherman, and Claudia Tufo.

These New Hampshire artists have taken classes and painted together for years.

The exhibit presents an opportunity for a longstanding artist circle to show their work together for the first time and to honor their senior member and mentor, Hopkinton artist Sylvia Brofos. Now in her 90s, Brofos has taught watercolor painting at many local institutions, as well as in her private studio.

In this show, Brofos’ work is on display along with that of seven artists who have been her students — some

“Since then, Arnie’s has expertly fed the cravings, and the go-to is always the strawberry shortcake sundae if I can find anyone willing to share. I don’t go very often because it’s farther away, but Beech Hill Farm in Hopkinton is about as idyllic as an ice cream cone can get. I have a feeling I’ll be making late-afternoon stops at the new Social Club Creamery in downtown Concord because it has two things I prize: proximity and creativity. I’ve been once so far and the roasted strawberry was a winner.

Say goodbye to SICK-CARE... and hello to HEALTH-CARE What makes our care different than the medical approach is that corrective and wellness chiropractic is not SICK care, it is HEALTH care: We focus on how to help you CREATE HEALTH. How you eat, sleep, move and think matters. The other key ingredient is a structurally balanced spine and nervous system.

BEFORE

AFTER

*Actual Patient Results Vary

Visit one of our four convenient locations!

We adjust subluxations that interfere with vital nerve flow.

Slips and falls, poor posture of technology use, sports, and the stresses and strains of living are often enough to create imbalance. Just look around you: Heads forward, slumped shoulders, hollow backs. protruding bellies, rotated hips.

When the vertebrae of the spinal column become misaligned, the nerve signals - so vital to daily function- are interrupted. this condition is called subluxation. It’s no wonder so many struggle with secondary symptoms like headaches, neck pain, sciatica, back pain, low energy, digestive problems and more.

Concord Insider — Thursday, July 4, 2024

Sometimes misaligned vertebrae correct themselves. But most subluxations need outside assistance for correction.

Chiropractors are the only health care providers trained to correct vertebral subluxations. Through a proper evaluation, and x-rays when necessary, the Doctors of Chiropractic at Crossroads will carefully examine your spine and, when possible, make individualized recommendations to correct any structural problems found.
