One included a particularly ch allenging stretch of trail. The next morning\, Beverly got up feeling good \, did the stretches and resistance-band exercises she had learned in phys ical therapy\, and was ready for another day. For Beverly\, it was a meani ngful change after years of stiffness and pain that had increasingly affec ted her daily life. \n \n \n \n \n \n “Befor e therapy I traveled\, but I was often miserable\,” Beverly says. “Som etimes I was so stiff\, I would just cry\, lie on a heating pad\, and go t o bed.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Her symptoms became more difficult after a c ar accident in 2022 left her with significant neck and nerve pain. Althoug h physical therapy had been recommended\, Beverly was hesitant. Eventually \, encouragement from her LRH primary care physician\, Dr. Thomas Clem\, c onvinced her to give it another try. She chose Lakeland Regional Health Ph ysical Therapy at the YMCA\, close to her North Lakeland home. Beverly pri marily worked with physical therapists Gwyn Arnold\, DPT\, and Alex Barlow \, PTA. During her visits\, she was struck by how closely they listened\, observed her movement\, and adjusted each session based on what she was ex periencing. \n \n \n \n \n \n “If I came in and said\, ‘I’m hurting here today\,’ they would say\, ‘That’s w hat we’re going to work on today\,’” Beverly says. “They made me f eel for the first time that I can change. I can control my body and make i t better.” \n \n \n \n \n \n “Beverly cam e in ready to work and really committed herself to the process\,” Gwyn s ays. “As she progressed\, we continued building on what she could do and helping her develop the strength and confidence to stay active and help h er reach her personal goal to travel. For Beverly\, the education piece wa s crucial in helping her get into the right mindset for therapy.” “We did our best to be responsive with her treatments. We scaled it back when she was in pain\, we progressed when she felt strong\, and our team kept i n close communication\,” says Alex. That individualized approach is cent ral to physical therapy at Lakeland Regional Health. “During the initial evaluation\, we spend time learning what is important to the patient\, wh ere they are having difficulty and what they want to be able to do\,” Aa ryn Mariacher\, Regional Manager\, LRH Outpatient Rehab Services\, says. “For Beverly\, being able to travel comfortably with her husband was imp ortant. We build the plan around what matters to each patient.” North La keland YMCA Team Supervisor Manuel Pizarro explains why movement can be di fficult when patients are experiencing nerve irritation. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “When patients are dealing w ith nerve irritation\, the body can signal an alarm and begin guarding mov ement\,” Manuel says. “We start by helping them gradually restore comf ortable movement with less irritation and pain. From there\, we can begin adding resistance and building strength to target specific activities that are meaningful to the patient and their goals.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Over time\, Beverly began noticing a signific ant difference. The nerve pain in her neck that had once been a regular pa rt of her life became increasingly rare. Beverly also changed the way she responded when she felt stiff or uncomfortable. Before physical therapy\, pain made her want to move less. Through therapy\, she learned how regular movement\, stretching\, and strengthening could help her manage her sympt oms. Beverly and her husband now bring resistance bands along on their tri ps and exercise together. She continues the stretches and strengthening ex ercises she learned in therapy and has even added weights to her routine. “We now exercise more than we ever did\,” she says. “If I do what th ey tell me to do\, and walk and move\, the pain is gone.” But Beverly sa ys her experience was about more than the physical progress she made. She remembers the kindness of the entire team and how they encouraged patients throughout the clinic. \n \n \n \n \n \n “I was amazed at their kindness\,” Beverly says. “Even if someone could only do five steps\, they praised them. I felt like I knew them my whole l ife. I trusted them.” \n \n \n \n \n \n Tod ay\, Beverly is traveling\, hiking\, and approaching movement with a new s ense of confidence. “They changed my whole view on physical therapy\,” she says. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n Learn More \n \n \n \n about physi cal therapy at Lakeland Regional Health   \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Physical Therapy LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T183429Z LOCATION:Kathy Hunt Learning Center\, 2nd Floor (Pavilion)\, 1324 Lakeland Hills Boulevard\, Lakeland\, Florida\, 33805\, United States URL:https://www.mylrh.org/event/pre-operative-total-joint-class/2026-10-06 /?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=lakeland-fl X-SOURCE-NAME:Lakeland Regional Health X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.mylrh.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Board Meeting DTSTART:20261006T220000Z DTEND:20261007T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260823T170852Z UID:6443-1791309600-1791316800@ladiesofthelakes.org CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:We have an open board meeting and all members are welcome to a ttend.

She chose Lakeland Regional Health Ph ysical Therapy at the YMCA\, close to her North Lakeland home. Beverly pri marily worked with physical therapists Gwyn Arnold\, DPT\, and Alex Barlow \, PTA.

One included a particularly ch allenging stretch of trail. The next morning\, Beverly got up feeling good \, did the stretches and resistance-band exercises she had learned in phys ical therapy\, and was ready for another day. For Beverly\, it was a meani ngful change after years of stiffness and pain that had increasingly affec ted her daily life. \n \n \n \n \n \n “Befor e therapy I traveled\, but I was often miserable\,” Beverly says. “Som etimes I was so stiff\, I would just cry\, lie on a heating pad\, and go t o bed.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Her symptoms became more difficult after a c ar accident in 2022 left her with significant neck and nerve pain. Althoug h physical therapy had been recommended\, Beverly was hesitant. Eventually \, encouragement from her LRH primary care physician\, Dr. Thomas Clem\, c onvinced her to give it another try. She chose Lakeland Regional Health Ph ysical Therapy at the YMCA\, close to her North Lakeland home. Beverly pri marily worked with physical therapists Gwyn Arnold\, DPT\, and Alex Barlow \, PTA. During her visits\, she was struck by how closely they listened\, observed her movement\, and adjusted each session based on what she was ex periencing. \n \n \n \n \n \n “If I came in and said\, ‘I’m hurting here today\,’ they would say\, ‘That’s w hat we’re going to work on today\,’” Beverly says. “They made me f eel for the first time that I can change. I can control my body and make i t better.” \n \n \n \n \n \n “Beverly cam e in ready to work and really committed herself to the process\,” Gwyn s ays. “As she progressed\, we continued building on what she could do and helping her develop the strength and confidence to stay active and help h er reach her personal goal to travel. For Beverly\, the education piece wa s crucial in helping her get into the right mindset for therapy.” “We did our best to be responsive with her treatments. We scaled it back when she was in pain\, we progressed when she felt strong\, and our team kept i n close communication\,” says Alex. That individualized approach is cent ral to physical therapy at Lakeland Regional Health. “During the initial evaluation\, we spend time learning what is important to the patient\, wh ere they are having difficulty and what they want to be able to do\,” Aa ryn Mariacher\, Regional Manager\, LRH Outpatient Rehab Services\, says. “For Beverly\, being able to travel comfortably with her husband was imp ortant. We build the plan around what matters to each patient.” North La keland YMCA Team Supervisor Manuel Pizarro explains why movement can be di fficult when patients are experiencing nerve irritation. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “When patients are dealing w ith nerve irritation\, the body can signal an alarm and begin guarding mov ement\,” Manuel says. “We start by helping them gradually restore comf ortable movement with less irritation and pain. From there\, we can begin adding resistance and building strength to target specific activities that are meaningful to the patient and their goals.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Over time\, Beverly began noticing a signific ant difference. The nerve pain in her neck that had once been a regular pa rt of her life became increasingly rare. Beverly also changed the way she responded when she felt stiff or uncomfortable. Before physical therapy\, pain made her want to move less. Through therapy\, she learned how regular movement\, stretching\, and strengthening could help her manage her sympt oms. Beverly and her husband now bring resistance bands along on their tri ps and exercise together. She continues the stretches and strengthening ex ercises she learned in therapy and has even added weights to her routine. “We now exercise more than we ever did\,” she says. “If I do what th ey tell me to do\, and walk and move\, the pain is gone.” But Beverly sa ys her experience was about more than the physical progress she made. She remembers the kindness of the entire team and how they encouraged patients throughout the clinic. \n \n \n \n \n \n “I was amazed at their kindness\,” Beverly says. “Even if someone could only do five steps\, they praised them. I felt like I knew them my whole l ife.

If you are new to a S ound Bath Meditation\, it is a very therapeutic form of meditation because as sound waves wash over your body\, they move the brain into the more re laxed alpha & theta brainwave states. Sound meditations are wonderful for all types of meditators but are especially good for beginners because the tones & frequencies of the instruments give the mind something to hold ont o & help cut through the mental chatter quieting the mind. \nBring your ma t\, favorite blanket and pillow.\nPlease be aware that the gate will be cl osed at 5:30 and entry to the classroom will be closed at 5:40 to ensure a respectful learning environment for all participants. \nEvent Date & Time \nThursday\, October 15\, 2026\n5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. \nLocation\nAlexan der Discovery Center \nPrice\n$25 members/$40 non-members (includes genera l admission) \nRegistration required \nAbout the Instructor:\nAnthony Prof eta is a former medical student turned internationally-renowned certified meditation teacher\, mindfulness expert\, & singing bowl specialist. He ha s been intensely studying the art of meditation for over two decades in mo nasteries and meditation centers of the US\, Nepal\, Italy & India. He has also been blessed to be guided & mentored by many of today’s meditation masters such as Jack Kornfield\, Sharon Salzberg\, Jon Kabat-Zinn\, and t he Dalai Lama. \nA “Sound Bath Meditation” is a very therapeutic form of meditation because you’re literally being “bathed” in sound waves . And as they “wash over your body”\, they help guide you into a more relaxed\, calm\, and peaceful state by shifting you into the alpha & theta brainwave states. \nClass Registration\, Refund\, and Exchange Policy\nBo k Tower Gardens requires registration for all classes.

One included a particularly ch allenging stretch of trail. The next morning\, Beverly got up feeling good \, did the stretches and resistance-band exercises she had learned in phys ical therapy\, and was ready for another day. For Beverly\, it was a meani ngful change after years of stiffness and pain that had increasingly affec ted her daily life. \n \n \n \n \n \n “Befor e therapy I traveled\, but I was often miserable\,” Beverly says. “Som etimes I was so stiff\, I would just cry\, lie on a heating pad\, and go t o bed.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Her symptoms became more difficult after a c ar accident in 2022 left her with significant neck and nerve pain. Althoug h physical therapy had been recommended\, Beverly was hesitant. Eventually \, encouragement from her LRH primary care physician\, Dr. Thomas Clem\, c onvinced her to give it another try. She chose Lakeland Regional Health Ph ysical Therapy at the YMCA\, close to her North Lakeland home. Beverly pri marily worked with physical therapists Gwyn Arnold\, DPT\, and Alex Barlow \, PTA. During her visits\, she was struck by how closely they listened\, observed her movement\, and adjusted each session based on what she was ex periencing. \n \n \n \n \n \n “If I came in and said\, ‘I’m hurting here today\,’ they would say\, ‘That’s w hat we’re going to work on today\,’” Beverly says. “They made me f eel for the first time that I can change. I can control my body and make i t better.” \n \n \n \n \n \n “Beverly cam e in ready to work and really committed herself to the process\,” Gwyn s ays. “As she progressed\, we continued building on what she could do and helping her develop the strength and confidence to stay active and help h er reach her personal goal to travel. For Beverly\, the education piece wa s crucial in helping her get into the right mindset for therapy.” “We did our best to be responsive with her treatments. We scaled it back when she was in pain\, we progressed when she felt strong\, and our team kept i n close communication\,” says Alex. That individualized approach is cent ral to physical therapy at Lakeland Regional Health. “During the initial evaluation\, we spend time learning what is important to the patient\, wh ere they are having difficulty and what they want to be able to do\,” Aa ryn Mariacher\, Regional Manager\, LRH Outpatient Rehab Services\, says. “For Beverly\, being able to travel comfortably with her husband was imp ortant. We build the plan around what matters to each patient.” North La keland YMCA Team Supervisor Manuel Pizarro explains why movement can be di fficult when patients are experiencing nerve irritation. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “When patients are dealing w ith nerve irritation\, the body can signal an alarm and begin guarding mov ement\,” Manuel says. “We start by helping them gradually restore comf ortable movement with less irritation and pain. From there\, we can begin adding resistance and building strength to target specific activities that are meaningful to the patient and their goals.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Over time\, Beverly began noticing a signific ant difference. The nerve pain in her neck that had once been a regular pa rt of her life became increasingly rare. Beverly also changed the way she responded when she felt stiff or uncomfortable. Before physical therapy\, pain made her want to move less. Through therapy\, she learned how regular movement\, stretching\, and strengthening could help her manage her sympt oms. Beverly and her husband now bring resistance bands along on their tri ps and exercise together. She continues the stretches and strengthening ex ercises she learned in therapy and has even added weights to her routine. “We now exercise more than we ever did\,” she says. “If I do what th ey tell me to do\, and walk and move\, the pain is gone.” But Beverly sa ys her experience was about more than the physical progress she made. She remembers the kindness of the entire team and how they encouraged patients throughout the clinic. \n \n \n \n \n \n “I was amazed at their kindness\,” Beverly says. “Even if someone could only do five steps\, they praised them. I felt like I knew them my whole l ife.

One included a particularly ch allenging stretch of trail. The next morning\, Beverly got up feeling good \, did the stretches and resistance-band exercises she had learned in phys ical therapy\, and was ready for another day. For Beverly\, it was a meani ngful change after years of stiffness and pain that had increasingly affec ted her daily life. \n \n \n \n \n \n “Befor e therapy I traveled\, but I was often miserable\,” Beverly says. “Som etimes I was so stiff\, I would just cry\, lie on a heating pad\, and go t o bed.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Her symptoms became more difficult after a c ar accident in 2022 left her with significant neck and nerve pain. Althoug h physical therapy had been recommended\, Beverly was hesitant. Eventually \, encouragement from her LRH primary care physician\, Dr. Thomas Clem\, c onvinced her to give it another try. She chose Lakeland Regional Health Ph ysical Therapy at the YMCA\, close to her North Lakeland home. Beverly pri marily worked with physical therapists Gwyn Arnold\, DPT\, and Alex Barlow \, PTA. During her visits\, she was struck by how closely they listened\, observed her movement\, and adjusted each session based on what she was ex periencing. \n \n \n \n \n \n “If I came in and said\, ‘I’m hurting here today\,’ they would say\, ‘That’s w hat we’re going to work on today\,’” Beverly says. “They made me f eel for the first time that I can change. I can control my body and make i t better.” \n \n \n \n \n \n “Beverly cam e in ready to work and really committed herself to the process\,” Gwyn s ays. “As she progressed\, we continued building on what she could do and helping her develop the strength and confidence to stay active and help h er reach her personal goal to travel. For Beverly\, the education piece wa s crucial in helping her get into the right mindset for therapy.” “We did our best to be responsive with her treatments. We scaled it back when she was in pain\, we progressed when she felt strong\, and our team kept i n close communication\,” says Alex. That individualized approach is cent ral to physical therapy at Lakeland Regional Health. “During the initial evaluation\, we spend time learning what is important to the patient\, wh ere they are having difficulty and what they want to be able to do\,” Aa ryn Mariacher\, Regional Manager\, LRH Outpatient Rehab Services\, says. “For Beverly\, being able to travel comfortably with her husband was imp ortant. We build the plan around what matters to each patient.” North La keland YMCA Team Supervisor Manuel Pizarro explains why movement can be di fficult when patients are experiencing nerve irritation. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “When patients are dealing w ith nerve irritation\, the body can signal an alarm and begin guarding mov ement\,” Manuel says. “We start by helping them gradually restore comf ortable movement with less irritation and pain. From there\, we can begin adding resistance and building strength to target specific activities that are meaningful to the patient and their goals.” \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Over time\, Beverly began noticing a signific ant difference. The nerve pain in her neck that had once been a regular pa rt of her life became increasingly rare. Beverly also changed the way she responded when she felt stiff or uncomfortable. Before physical therapy\, pain made her want to move less. Through therapy\, she learned how regular movement\, stretching\, and strengthening could help her manage her sympt oms. Beverly and her husband now bring resistance bands along on their tri ps and exercise together. She continues the stretches and strengthening ex ercises she learned in therapy and has even added weights to her routine. “We now exercise more than we ever did\,” she says. “If I do what th ey tell me to do\, and walk and move\, the pain is gone.” But Beverly sa ys her experience was about more than the physical progress she made. She remembers the kindness of the entire team and how they encouraged patients throughout the clinic. \n \n \n \n \n \n “I was amazed at their kindness\,” Beverly says. “Even if someone could only do five steps\, they praised them. I felt like I knew them my whole l ife. I trusted them.” \n \n \n \n \n \n Tod ay\, Beverly is traveling\, hiking\, and approaching movement with a new s ense of confidence. “They changed my whole view on physical therapy\,” she says. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n Learn More \n \n \n \n about physi cal therapy at Lakeland Regional Health   \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Physical Therapy LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T183429Z LOCATION:Fontaine Gills Family YMCA\, 2125 Sleepy Hill Road\, Lakeland\, F L\, 33810\, United States URL:https://www.mylrh.org/event/balance-for-life/2026-10-27/?utm_source=ca ldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=lakeland-fl X-SOURCE-NAME:Lakeland Regional Health X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.mylrh.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Winnipeg Jets DTSTART:20261029T230000Z DTEND:20261030T010000Z DTSTAMP:20260823T170855Z UID:10000079-1793300400-1793307600@www.benchmarkintlarena.com CATEGORIES:sports LAST-MODIFIED:20260823T170855Z LOCATION:Benchmark International Arena\, 401 Channelside Dr\, Tampa\, 3360 2\, United States URL:https://www.benchmarkintlarena.com/event/tampa-bay-lightning-vs-winnip eg-jets/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=lakeland-fl X-SOURCE-NAME:Benchmark International Arena X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.benchmarkintlarena.com/events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Chayanne DTSTART:20261031T000000Z DTEND:20261031T020000Z DTSTAMP:20260823T170855Z UID:10000053-1793390400-1793397600@www.benchmarkintlarena.com CATEGORIES:music LAST-MODIFIED:20260823T170855Z LOCATION:Benchmark International Arena\, 401 Channelside Dr\, Tampa\, 3360 2\, United States URL:https://www.benchmarkintlarena.com/event/chayanne-2026/?utm_source=cal discovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=lakeland-fl X-SOURCE-NAME:Benchmark International Arena X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.benchmarkintlarena.com/events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Bok Tower Gardens Boo-tanical Bash DTSTART:20261031T130000Z DTEND:20261031T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260902T002615Z UID:65768-1793437200-1793466000@boktowergardens.org CATEGORIES:arts,education,family DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a spook-tacular day of not-so-scary plant and fa ll fun at Bok Tower Gardens’ Boo-tanical Bash!
