It’s that time of year!  Kids all over the country are gearing up for back to school!  It is common to see people getting ready by purchasing new clothes, school supplies and even getting physicals.  We believe one of the most important ways to prepare for back to school is to prepare your body and mind.

During this time of year, many experience stress and anxiety as they prepare to take on a rigorous schedule.  There is so much to balance when going back to school:  class work, work schedules, increased traffic hassles, study groups, homework and social life.  If you do some preparing ahead of time, it can make the transition back to school easier and even help with focus.

Below we have a checklist of things you can do to help beat fatigue and stress and increase focus in preparation of the upcoming school year.

marie perkins acupunture specialist in palm harborDr. Marie Perkins, OTR/L, LMT, DOM, Dipl. Ac. is one of the most recognized practitioners in Palm Harbor as a “non-pharmaceutical” pain specialist.

Born and raised in Quebec City Canada, Dr. Perkins received her Bachelor Degree in Occupational Therapy from University Laval in 1993.

Her passion led her to leave everything behind and immigrated to Florida in 1995. She proceeded with acquiring her Massage Therapy license from Bahkti Academy in 1999 and her Master’s Degree in Oriental Medicine from the Florida Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2004.

Her goal for founding East West Healing Solutions was to be a pioneer in the community working at bridging the gap between Eastern and Western Medicine. She has established strong partnership with Medical Doctors, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, Orthopedic Surgeons, Neurologists, Pain Management Physicians, Doctors of Chiropractic, Rehabilitative Specialists, Athletic Directors, Coaches and Personal Injury Attorneys in the community proving not only that it can be done but also that a cohesive team approach is often the most efficient way to help a patient.

“Over the years I have continued to add to my knowledge in order to be able to help as many patients I possibly could. Most of the time, a joint effort from Western and Eastern Medicine is required to obtain optimal health. For that reason, patients should proactively seek a team of highly trained professionals in various fields, all working toward one common goal; the PATIENT’S best interest. Your health portfolio should be built with the same concepts as your financial portfolio; diversification is the key!,” Dr. Marie Perkins tells her patients.
