Because better health starts with taking care of the whole you. 💙

“I volunteer as tribute!” 🙋🏻‍♀️

Whenever Blanca @blanca.c.alcaraz is teaching hands-on techniques, you’ll never hear me complain about being the practice patient. 😄 She’s incredibly strong, intuitive, and deeply knowledgeable about the body, so getting to be on the table is definitely a perk of mentorship.

Every week, Dr. Gretchen Zalis and I carve out time to learn from one another and from other amazing movement professionals in our community. This week, Blanca shared some of her favorite manual therapy techniques, and we practiced spinal rotations, breathing strategies, and movement patterns that help people move with more ease and confidence.

We make time for sessions like these because taking care of ourselves, learning through touch, and staying curious makes us better clinicians. The more we practice, ask questions, and play with new ideas, the more we have to offer every patient who walks through our doors.

Blanca is one of the owners of be. In Union Yoga in Somerville, an exceptional massage therapist, and a wonderful teacher. Check out be. In Union Yoga @beinunion.

If you’re ready to move better, recover from an injury, or simply invest in your health, we’d love to work with you.

A huge thank you to Blanca for sharing your knowledge with us—and for making it very easy to volunteer as the practice patient. 😉 taken in Somerville, Massachusetts by @beinunion

Tall, taller, tallest? Nope. Today’s photo is organized in descending height order, as nature intended. ☕️

This Friday’s coffee tasting at Counter Culture @counterculturecoffee brought together three community builders, two local women-owned businesses @unionsquarept and @beinunion , and (apparently) a perfectly organized height chart.

We’re celebrating Dr. Gretchen Zalis’ first full week as a full-time physical therapist at Union Square Physical Therapy, and this moment feels especially meaningful because Blanca Alcaraz is the one who introduced us in the first place. Seeing all three of us together this morning felt a little full-circle.

One of our core values at Union Square PT is being present in the community we serve. Today’s coffee tasting wasn’t just about the absolutely delicious coffee—it was about connecting with neighbors, supporting local businesses, learning what’s happening around Union Square, and building relationships that make this neighborhood such a special place.

We even had the chance to invite a few new friends to our Open House on Thursday, June 11, from 6–8 PM. Whether you’re a patient, neighbor, fellow business owner, or just curious about what we’re building, we’d love to see you there.

Here’s to community, collaboration, new beginnings, and coffee shared with good people. ☕️🥂

Cheers!

💆‍♀️ Midweek Reset: Tax Day Edition 💸🧘‍♀️

Tomorrow (Wednesday) from 12–1 PM, we’re hosting a special “Chill Out Your Nervous System” yoga class—because let’s be honest… it’s tax day 😅

Whether you’ve already filed and didn’t love the outcome, you’re celebrating a big refund, or you’re still avoiding it altogether… this class is for YOU.

This is a welcoming, inclusive space open to all levels—especially beginners. You’ll be guided through gentle, grounding movements with plenty of modifications, as well as options to turn things up if you’re looking for more of a challenge.

Take this hour as your midweek reset. A chance to breathe, move, and invest in yourself—because that’s always worth it.

📍 All are welcome. Bring a mat, bring a friend, or just bring yourself.

Yoga is healing. We grieved the loss of our 18-year-old cat at 10:30am and went to the sacred space @beinunion at noon. It is more than just movement, it’s a community that can hold the heavy heart. Eternally grateful for this space and time ♥️ taken in be. in union yoga by @beinunion
