No matter our lifestyles, we put<br />
our bodies through a lot. Whether<br />
you’re a stay-at-home mom chasing<br />
after kids all day, work 40<br />
hours or more a week at a desk,<br />
or someone who goes to the gym<br />
consistently, you depend on your<br />
body to get you through the day.<br />
And often, we don’t take the care<br />
we should to recover and rejuvenate<br />
from all of the stress and<br />
pressure. Many of us go through<br />
life thinking that being in pain is<br />
normal or just a part of getting<br />
older.<br />
According to massage therapist<br />
and personal trainer Andrea<br />
Rivera, there are many things we<br />
can do to alleviate pain and help<br />
our bodies recover. To help her clients<br />
even more, Andrea is currently<br />
studying to become a licensed<br />
physiotherapist, focusing on injury<br />
prevention. One of the best ways<br />
to prevent injury is as simple as taking<br />
the time to stretch.<br />
“People don’t usually think about<br />
injury prevention until after they’ve<br />
had an injury,” she said.<br />
www.SouthwestOrlandoBulletin.com x August 15 — September 4, 2019 x 5<br />
HOW TO ...<br />
Stretch<br />
Prevent Injury By Moving Your Body!<br />
Many of Andrea’s clients have<br />
cervical and/or lumbar spinal issues<br />
from sitting down for long<br />
periods of time or compressing<br />
the hips and muscles that<br />
cause a lot of leg pain, hamstring<br />
tightness and lumbar<br />
tightness.<br />
“Any form of stretching that helps<br />
elongate [the spine] and also helps<br />
align it properly is great,” she said.<br />
Andrea cultivated a set of stretches<br />
that anyone can do to help prevent<br />
injury as well as recover after<br />
a workout. These can also be done<br />
at home or anywhere you wish,<br />
even if you aren’t working out five<br />
days a week.<br />
“I chose these [stretches] in particular<br />
because you can use these<br />
after a workout, before a workout<br />
by Lauren Salinero<br />
if you add a little dynamic movement<br />
to it, and [they] are also ones<br />
you can do every day.”<br />
This series of movements can be<br />
done individually to target specific<br />
muscles you need to stretch, or it<br />
can be done as a routine. Taking<br />
a few minutes every day to help<br />
your muscles recover from the daily<br />
grind is the best kind of self-care.<br />
During each stretch, breathe out<br />
when going further into the stretch.<br />
Breathing in expands the ribs, and<br />
when you exhale, you can reach<br />
further. Each stretch can be held<br />
between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.<br />
Remember, if you stretch one<br />
side of the body, make sure you<br />
stretch the opposite side of the<br />
body, as well.<br />
Downward Dog — Start on all fours and<br />
move into a plank. Shift your hips and weight<br />
back, visualizing bringing your rear toward the<br />
ceiling. You can plant your feet to get a deeper<br />
stretch of the calves and hamstrings or go to<br />
the balls of your feet for a lighter stretch. Add<br />
some movement by bending one knee at a time,<br />
stretching the opposite heel toward the ground.<br />
This stretch targets your calves and hamstrings.<br />
For an upper back stretch, pulsate your chest<br />
toward your legs, bringing your head parallel<br />
with your arms.<br />

Child’s Pose Twist — Start on your knees<br />
with the tops of your feet flat on the ground. If<br />
your feet are uncomfortable, widen your legs<br />
so you aren’t sitting directly on top of them.<br />
Crawl your hands down, reaching forward. If<br />
you don’t feel the stretch, make sure you really<br />
reach your arms forward. Once you feel the far<br />
stretch, breath in, exhale and draw your chest<br />
toward the ground, keeping your back flat. The<br />
traditional Child’s Pose is an upper back stretch.<br />
To incorporate the twist, reach your arms to<br />
the side, stretching your oblique muscles, lats,<br />
subscapularis and even down your arm if your<br />
muscles are really tight.<br />
Standing Bend — Standing straight,<br />
interlock your fingers with your palms out<br />
and toward ceiling. This hand position<br />
fully stretches out your arms. You should<br />
feel a stretch in your shoulders and arms.<br />
Bend your upper body to the side. You can<br />
bend from 2 centimeters to 7 inches. This<br />
gravity-assisted stretch targets your triceps,<br />
subscapularis and oblique muscles. It also<br />
releases a lot of tension in the spine, helping<br />
to expand and alight it.<br />
Runner’s Lunge — From a plank, bring one<br />
leg forward, parallel with your hands on the<br />
ground. If your front knee isn’t pulled in close<br />
to the body, don’t force it. Lift your back knee<br />
off the ground, straightening your back leg.<br />
If you can’t straighten the back leg, it’s OK<br />
to keep it in a bent position on the ground<br />
and work your way up. This stretch activates<br />
the hip flexor and inner thigh. It’s a good<br />
stretch for those who sit all day or do a lot of<br />
driving, where the hip flexor is inhibited for<br />
long periods of time. You can also shift your<br />
weight forward and back to open the ankle<br />
joint or circle your hips to get a glute and<br />
lower back stretch along with the hip flexor.<br />
Pec Stretch — Start by placing your hands<br />
on the back of two posts — a doorway is a<br />
great place to do this stretch — and push your<br />
body forward. There are three arm positions to<br />
target different muscles along with the pectoral<br />
muscles. With the arms low, you stretch your<br />
biceps and forearms, which is great for if you do<br />
a lot of typing. A midway placement targets the<br />
pectoralis major and can also help position your<br />
shoulder for correct posture. With your arms up,<br />
you’ll stretch both the pectoral major and minor<br />
muscles. A lot of people with numbness down<br />
their arms and tension headaches can benefit<br />
from stretching their pectoralis minor. With this<br />
stretch, it’s important to step out into the stretch,<br />
keeping your body vertical. Don’t lean forward<br />
into it. You can keep your feet parallel or step<br />
out with one foot forward.<br />
Knee Twist — Lie on the ground with your<br />
arms out in a T shape. Bring your legs up with<br />
your knees bent in a 90 degree angle, keeping<br />
your lower legs parallel to the ground in a<br />
tabletop position. Twist your legs toward one<br />
side until your knee touches the ground, then<br />
move them to the opposite side. It’s important to<br />
keep both shoulders and your lower back flat<br />
on the ground. Though you may be tempted to<br />
point your toes, that will activate your muscles<br />
instead of keeping this a stretch, so keep your<br />
toes flexed. This is a full body stretch and is<br />
Andrea’s favorite in her arsenal. For a more<br />
advanced version, straighten your legs. Your<br />
knees and feet should stay together when you<br />
twist at the hips. If your feet want to separate<br />
or your knees want to bend, stick with the<br />
traditional version.<br />

No. 4 Leg Crossover — Lie on your back and<br />
start with your feet planted on the ground. Bring<br />
one foot across the top of the other thigh. It doesn’t<br />
matter if it’s your foot, ankle or calf resting on<br />
the other leg, whatever feels comfortable and<br />
natural. Take the hand of the same leg that is<br />
on top and thread it through the opening your<br />
legs have made. Grasp the shin of the leg on<br />
the ground. If you can’t reach your shin, it’s OK<br />
to grab the hamstring of that leg instead. Pull<br />
your bottom leg in toward your chest. This stretch<br />
targets the IT band and glute of the leg on top.<br />
You can also rock from side to side to get a more<br />
advanced stretch of the IT band. ª

My Child’s Healthcare<br />
by: Kristen M. Jackson / Attorney<br />
My neighbor recently<br />
told me a horrifying story<br />
about her daughter. While<br />
my neighbor was away on<br />
a business trip, she left her<br />
15 year old daughter with<br />
her grandparents. During<br />
my neighbor’s absence, her<br />
daughter was thrown from a horse and incurred a severe spine injury. She was<br />
rushed to the hospital and the doctors informed the grandparents that, because they<br />
were not their granddaughter’s legal guardians, they could not make any medical<br />
decisions on her behalf. What are parents to do if their child is away and out of<br />
their reach while staying with others and their child needs consent for emergency<br />
medical treatment?<br />
It is complicated. Sadly, in the event of tragedy, more than 50% of all adults have<br />
no health care documents for themselves whatsoever. If conscious when they enter<br />
the hospital, the hospital will typically provide a health care document for them to<br />
sign authorizing doctors to treat them. Although, if they are unconscious and have<br />
no health care directives and have not authorized another adult to make decisions<br />
on their behalf, no one, not even a spouse, can authorize immediate treatment. It<br />
can become even more horrifying for a child, conscious or unconscious. Consider<br />
the following examples.<br />
Alice came in from gardening to answer a ringing telephone. A friend of her<br />
son at college 3 states away gave her terrifying news that her son, Michael, was<br />
seriously injured in a motorcycle accident and was taken unconscious to the hospital.<br />
Alice immediately called the emergency room where her son was taken but was told<br />
by the doctor that because Michael was 18 years old and now an adult, she could<br />
not authorize treatment unless she had a health care directive naming her as<br />
Michael’s surrogate. Consent would have required Michael, before leaving for<br />
college, to have prepared a health care directive naming Alice as his surrogate.<br />
Grace, 12 years old, went camping with her friend’s family. While hiking,<br />
Grace fell off of a rocky cliff and suffered a concussion requiring immediate<br />
medical treatment. Because her friend’s parents had no authorization to give<br />
medical consent, Grace suffered for 48 hours until her parents could be reached<br />
and drive to the hospital to authorize treatment. Had Grace’s parents prepared<br />
health care directives authorizing her friend’s parents to act as Grace’s heath<br />
care surrogate, treatment would have been immediate.<br />
According to Florida law, only a natural guardian, legal custodian, or legal<br />
guardian of a a person or minor child may designate a competent adult to<br />
serve as a surrogate to make health care decisions. And although we believe<br />
our children are always our children, once they turn 18 years old, only they may<br />
make such decisions.<br />
Before you send your minor child on<br />
a road trip with friends, leave them for the<br />
weekend with family or friend while you are<br />
away, or see your adult child off to college,<br />
consult with an estate planning attorney<br />
and prepare the necessary documents to<br />
protect them.<br />

PROFILE<br />
It’s a Woman’s World<br />
All-Female Practice Provides Expert Women’s Health Care<br />
Ask any woman between the ages<br />
of 13 and 65 if she would prefer to<br />
see a male or female gynecologist,<br />
and the answer is more often than<br />
not, “female.” Many women seek out<br />
female physicians, because they are<br />
perceived to be gentler and more<br />
understanding. And, when it comes<br />
to obstetrics and gynecology especially,<br />
most women prefer to share<br />
their female health concerns with a<br />
female doctor.<br />
Luckily for the women of the<br />
Southwest Orlando community, there<br />
is an OB/GYN practice nearby that<br />
is led by a woman and employs<br />
only females. The practice of Lori<br />
Lambert, M.D., located in Suite<br />
5 at 7051 Dr. Phillips Blvd., offers<br />
services related to menopause, contraception,<br />
pregnancy, gynecology,<br />
ultrasounds, annual well-woman<br />
Lori<br />
Lambert,<br />
M.D.,<br />
maintains<br />
an all-female<br />
OB/GYN<br />
practice in<br />
Southwest<br />
Orlando.<br />
exams, office-based surgery, laser<br />
hair removal, weight loss and vaginal<br />
rejuvenation.<br />
“Being a wife, working mom and a<br />
mother of two sons has helped me to<br />
not only be better in providing quality<br />
care but to also be able to empathize<br />
with my patients regarding<br />
health issues and life experiences,”<br />
Dr. Lambert said.<br />
Dr. Lambert’s father was in the<br />
Air Force, and her family moved<br />
frequently to different areas of the<br />
country and overseas. She has resided<br />
in Florida since 1971. She<br />
earned her undergraduate degree at<br />
Florida State University, her medical<br />
degree at the University of Florida,<br />
and completed her residency and<br />
post-graduate training at Orlando<br />
Regional Medical Center. She has<br />
been in private practice since 1989,<br />
opening her own practice in 1991.<br />
Dr. Lambert is known as a “second<br />
generation” physician, meaning her<br />
patient population includes patients<br />
that she delivered. She treats women<br />
of all ages, from adolescence to<br />
menopause, and continues to deliver<br />
babies.<br />

“The staff is like family here,” said<br />
Crystal Bruning, office manager.<br />
“We have some staff members who<br />
have worked here for over 10 years.<br />
We feel we have a staff that is very<br />
comfortable with each other and<br />
work well together.”<br />
Bruning relayed the story of her<br />
own daughter, who at age 14 had<br />
a rare childhood cancer manifesting<br />
in the form of a polyp. Dr. Lambert<br />
found and removed it, saving the<br />
teen’s life.<br />
Dr. Lambert is affiliated with<br />
Orlando Health, including Dr.<br />
P. Phillips Hospital and Winnie<br />
Palmer Hospital, all of which are<br />
located in Orlando. She is skilled<br />
in diagnosing and treating an extensive<br />
list of conditions, such as<br />
endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain,<br />
cervical diseases, uterine diseases,<br />
polycystic ovary syndrome and fibroids.<br />
She also provides prenatal<br />
and obstetrical care, including highrisk<br />
pregnancies, and she delivers<br />
babies. She is known to be a factdriven,<br />
thorough physician, who,<br />
when needed, will hold her patients’<br />
hands and even cry with them. She<br />
knows how her patients are feeling<br />
and feels it, too.<br />
She is assisted by a female staff of<br />
eight, including Heather Temkin<br />
Welch, ARNPC, a Rollins College<br />
graduate who got her nurse practitioner<br />
certification from Emory<br />
University. Welch has been working<br />
alongside Dr. Lambert since<br />
2011.<br />
Dr. Lambert supports women’s<br />
health care initiatives by attending<br />
Orlando’s annual Pink Bash for<br />
Breast Cancer and taking part in<br />
Arnie’s March Against Children’s<br />
Cancer. Named for the late Arnold<br />
Palmer, the march is a fundraising<br />
walk held at multiple PGA Tour tournaments<br />
across the country.<br />
During her downtime, Dr. Lambert<br />
enjoys traveling and being outdoors<br />
with her husband, Rex, and skiing<br />
and hiking together.<br />

Truly Golden!<br />
Make Your Retirement Years the Best Ever!<br />
Luxurious accommodations, the<br />
latest in tasty cuisine, watching fireworks<br />
while enjoying wine with<br />
friends: sound like the makings of the<br />
best resort experience Central Florida<br />
can offer?<br />
It is actually what each day brings<br />
to the residents of HarborChase in<br />
Dr. Phillips, a nationwide retirement<br />
community that offers top-quality senior<br />
living amenities for independent<br />
living, assisted living and memory<br />
care as well as opulent care for those<br />
with assisted living and memory care<br />
needs.<br />
“You will feel hospitality when you<br />
walk into HarborChase in Dr. Phillips,<br />
with all our apartments with beautiful<br />
furnishings, world-class chefs<br />
and always lots to do here,” said<br />
Heather Corton, executive director<br />
at HarborChase. “A lot of our<br />
residents were members of country<br />
clubs, so they want to feel like they<br />
are living at the club now, which we<br />
can definitely replicate.”<br />
So Much to Do!<br />
Upon move-in day, the red carpet is<br />
rolled out and champagne toasts are<br />
given, literally, as all the HarborChase<br />
managers celebrate their newest resident<br />
and his/her family as they arrive<br />
in the facility’s own Lincoln SUV.<br />
New residents are appointed resident<br />
and associate ambassadors that<br />
show them to their rooms, give them a<br />
tour of the community, and make sure<br />
they are given a calendar of events.<br />
From there, the sky’s the limits on<br />
what residents can do, from aqua aerobics<br />
to playing recreational games<br />
with other residents to even enjoying<br />
fireworks from nearby Universal<br />
Studios on the patio lounge.<br />
Three on-site restaurants are available<br />
for residents and their guests:<br />
formal, casual and bistro. The chefprepared<br />
meals come courtesy of<br />
the community’s award-winning chef,<br />
Residents of HarborChase in Dr. Phillips enjoy an array of amenities, including an on-site salon.<br />
Anthony Polito, whose food is described<br />
by Heather as “food [that]<br />
looks like art. It is very fusion-oriented<br />
and is amazing. We have herb walls,<br />
so Anthony clips fresh herbs to give<br />
all his meals a fresh pop of flavor.”<br />
Among the amenities are two fullsize<br />
gyms, two full-service salons, a<br />
zero-entry pool, a spacious dog park<br />
(as HarborChase is pet-friendly), and<br />
available services for out-patient therapy.<br />
Those in the assisted living and<br />
memory care wings have the pleasure<br />
of getting daily hair treatments by the<br />
on-site stylist and being dressed in fresh<br />
clothes that reflect their personalities.<br />
“We always want to make sure our<br />
resi dents are very dignified,” Heather<br />
said.<br />
Transportation by the community’s<br />
own bus or Lincoln SUV is available<br />
for grocery-shopping and doctor visits,<br />
as well as group outings to the<br />
theater, ball games and even out to<br />
lunch or dinner.<br />
Hospitality at Its Core<br />
“We are definitely focused as a<br />
company on hospitality,” said Heather,<br />
who has been with HarborChase for<br />
six years and previously worked with<br />
other communities in Central Florida<br />
and Texas.<br />
What began as 10 communities<br />
by parent company Harbor<br />
Retirement Corp. in Vero Beach has<br />
now expanded to 30 communities<br />
on the East Coast, with 10 more to<br />
open during the next two years.<br />
HarborChase of Dr. Phillips currently<br />
has 100 residents, with the ability to<br />
accommodate 185.<br />
Once a month, residents are asked<br />
for their feedback on the community<br />
and its activities, as HarborChase<br />
wants to make sure every day feels like<br />
a vacation in paradise for its residents.<br />
“They really enjoy going to the<br />
theater, so that will be a focus, and<br />
they want to go to the UCF football<br />
games,” Heather said. “They want to<br />
tonyrappa@capturevideo-photo.com<br />
go [watch] the Orlando Magic and<br />
the Rays. They love going out and<br />
about.”<br />
With HarborChase near its oneyear<br />
anniversary in December,<br />
Heather hopes for HarborChase to<br />
become more ingrained in the community.<br />
A board member for the UCF<br />
Rosen College of Hospitality, Heather<br />
wants to offer more internships for<br />
students at HarborChase, as well as<br />
more involvement with local charities<br />
in the Dr. Phillips area.<br />
The community recognizes its roots<br />
with the game room named after the<br />
area patriarch, Dr. Philip Phillips,<br />
and its address on Della Drive,<br />
named for Dr. Phillips’ wife.<br />
HarborChase is the community to<br />
live in when celebrating your golden<br />
years, so stop by for a visit and see<br />
luxury senior living at its finest.<br />

The Health Law Firm attorney Lance<br />
Leider recently won a favorable outcome<br />
of a Medicare audit case on<br />
behalf of his client, a psychiatrist. The<br />
audit was conducted by a Medicare<br />
HMO, WellCare Health Plans Inc.,<br />
on a psychiatrist seeing Medicare<br />
patients and billing them for the services.<br />
After the audit, the Medicare<br />
plan demanded a refund of more<br />
than $40,000 from the physician,<br />
alleging that he had been overpaid<br />
by that amount. Lance successfully<br />
rebutted the findings of the auditors,<br />
resulting in a decision completely in<br />
favor of the doctor. The demand for<br />
repayment was dismissed entirely.<br />
