Athletic trainers do more than helping injured athletes. For wrestlers, they ensure proper hydration, weight loss and gain and more to keep them on the mat. Check out this video to learn more!

In 2024, Physical Therapist Tori Searcy from our Flanders center competed at Powerlifting United's all-female competition called the Belle of the Bar and won her weight class. She competed again this November, jumping up a weight class and setting personal bests in the event. Getting back to the platform, however, was its own struggle. Back in February, Tori suffered a foot injury that left her non-weightbearing and out of powerlifting competition for three months.

With the rehabilitation guidelines and programming of Tori's powerlifting coach and fellow Kessler Physical Therapist Oscar Jean-Baptiste, she rehabbed her way back to the Belle of the Bar and turned in the strongest performance, weight-wise, of her lifting career.

The year may not have started out according to plan, but it ended with Tori setting a personal platform record, increasing her overall lifted weight by a total of 77 pounds in the squat, bench and deadlift combined.

Tori and Oscar are proud to be a part of Kessler's Barbell Training Special Interest Group (SIG) along with Physical Therapists Matthew Kiernan and Joanne Koch. They work with athletes much like Tori in the center to address injuries and improve patients' performances in the gym and on the platform.

The rotator cuff (RTC), at times mistakenly called the "rotatory cup," is a group of four muscles that stabilize the shoulder and enable a wide variety of movement.

When it comes to RTC injuries, regardless of the severity, physical therapists play an integral part in helping patients reach their therapeutic goals.

Check out our video to see a few, fun facts about RTC physical therapy!

Back in the summer, Raija ‘Grace’ Hsieh was experiencing right knee pain after suffering a meniscus tear and experiencing arthritis that had her sidelined from participating in her dance classes. Wanting to get back on the dance floor, Grace turned to Physical Therapist Jennifer Middleton at our Warren center.

An avid dancer for the majority of her life, Grace has been taking Latin Ballroom classes at Le Pari in Fanwood. This type of dancing requires quickness and precision, a challenge she took on with strength training exercises in physical therapy.

“Grace showed amazing progress with her ability to return to classes and being able to participate in her winter recital recently where she performed a routine with her instructor,” said Jennifer.

When Grace began physical therapy, she was unable to wear the required heels for her performance, but with determination she progressed and experienced no pain during her recital.

Demonstrating that hard work and dedication to her training is essential in returning to sport, Grace made a great recovery and is truly a success!

Runner Annisa Kumerow knew she wanted to return to running after she had her baby, but after nine months of pregnancy and a c-section, she wasn't sure how her body would handle the return. With hormone, life and body changes, she was fearful that just jumping back into running could make her condition worse, or hurt her ability to run in the future.

Annisa soon learned that it was more than just running, or training to run; it was about addressing areas of weakness, even ones she had prior to pregnancy.

"Previously, I had only felt 'strong' when I was running, but the core exercises and strengthening my clinician had me do were challenging enough that I really felt like my fitness was improving even beyond where I was pre-pregnancy," Annisa said.

Annisa's goal with physical therapy was to return to running and hopefully run a half-marathon. While she was able to meet those goals - running again at five months postpartum and running a half-marathon five months later, she achieved much more than that.

"I was absolutely terrible at doing any kind of strength, core or stretching (exercises) before, and my treatment really helped teach me the importance of those," Annisa shared. "I also had NO IDEA how to relax my pelvic floor before. Being able to learn to control a part of my body that had always been tense was a game changer."

It wasn't easy for Annisa to get up and make it to pelvic floor physical therapy. Affected by postpartum depression and anxiety, Annisa worked with CoreVia Physical Therapist Alex Baran, who was able to encourage and listen to her as she worked through the mood disorders in addition to completing physical therapy.

Now, Annisa is expecting her second child and looks forward to incorporating what she learned in physical therapy at home, but she also knows who to turn to for postpartum.
