The Joint Stress Mitigation and Restoration Team helps Joint Task Force Guantanamo Troopers, Aug. 13 on U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, relax and stretch out at their monthly Self-Care Day. “JSMART Self-Care Day is all about promoting and educating JTF Troopers on what good self-care looks like,” said U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonni Gillispie, a JSMART behavioral health technician. “Self-care is basically taking time out of the day, the week, the month to take care of yourself.

Navy Lt. Katherine Kline, the officer in charge of JSMART, says the goal of JSMART is “to promote wellness in all JTF members. Being in the military, we are trained to put others first but it is our belief that if you can't take care of yourself, then you can't take care of others. I always encourage people to think of it like this -- when you're on an airplane and the oxygen masks drop, what do they tell you to do with it? The answer is, put yours on first because if you can't breathe then you can't help anyone else to breathe. That is the epitome of self-care.”
Countie highly encourages Troopers to attend the JSMART Self-Care Days for the serene experience and allow the tension to float away from their bodies. “For all of the JTF, please utilize this facility and utilize the activities that they have,” Countie said. “Come out here, enjoy this and experience something you may never have experienced before. If you’ve done it before, come do it again. It’s great for the body, it’s great for the mind and it’s great for the spirit.”
The next JSMART Self-Care Day is Sept. 10 from 8 a.m. to noon with therapy dogs, refreshments and massage chairs. Yoga starts at 9 a.m. For more information, please call the JSMART team at x2321 or x2377. For emergency situations after hours, call 911 or

Within the last decade, the military has taken a strong approach to monitoring soldier’s wellness and well being. With the tempo and deployment schedule of today's military, some soldiers are having difficulty with one or more of the dimensions of wellness. The quiz we took is very similar to a series of questions we must now answer annually, and submit to be monitored. While I consider these quizzes and questions to be a useful tool, I feel I maintain a good self awareness regarding well being. Sometimes these questions are redundant, not providing useful feedback.

Physical therapists go through rigorous training, work in a variety of settings, and follow an important vision. With all the important work physical therapists do for patients it is not surprising that the demand for physical therapists continues climb. Even for the country's younger sect,

Moreover, these measures are required in order to minimize the potential for soldiers to feel a loss of their military identity subsequent to returning
