Three More Cases to Close Out October

Ever heard of apophysitis? It’s a common overuse injury in growing athletes, caused by repetitive stress on the growth plate where tendons attach to bone. 🦵💥

Ever heard someone say their “vertebra slipped”? That’s called vertebra displacement — or spondylolisthesis — when one vertebra moves out of place over another in your spine. 🦴

If your arms ache after simple tasks — lifting groceries, typing, or even holding your phone — weak muscles could be the hidden cause. When muscles aren’t strong enough, your joints and tendons take on extra stress, leading to pain, tension, and even injury over time. 🦴⚡

✨ Why you’re craving EVERYTHING lately 😩🍫
It’s not “lack of willpower” — it’s your body and brain talking to you.

🧠 Mind cravings = boredom, stress, comfort-seeking
💪 Body cravings = low blood sugar, dehydration, or poor sleep & more

This holiday season, it’s time for a reset:
💧 Drink more water
🥚 Eat breakfast (hello, protein!)
🚶‍♀️ Move your body — even 10 minutes helps
🌿 Switch up your routine to boost gut health (95% of your serotonin lives there!)

Your cravings aren’t random — they’re messages.
Listen to them. Don’t fight them. 💚

Three more cases I helped this week. This week was shoulder week, apparently!

Feeling a sharp or aching pain in your shoulder after lifting, throwing, or working out? You might have a shoulder strain — that’s when the muscles or tendons around your shoulder get overstretched or torn. 💪🏻

Ever heard of a reverse shoulder replacement? It’s a special surgery used when the rotator cuff is too damaged for a regular shoulder replacement. 😮

A humerus fracture means a break in your upper arm bone — the one that runs from your shoulder to your elbow. It can happen from a fall, sports injury, or accident. 🥎🥊🏐🏉🏟️🏂🏻⚽⚾

You can reach your goals and enjoy your favorite foods — it just takes the right approach, and that’s where I come in. 💪🍫

Grateful to have helped three patients make meaningful progress this week 💪
1️⃣ Right foot drop – working on improving mobility and gait
2️⃣ Shoulder labral tear – focused on stability and overhead strength
3️⃣ Shoulder impingement – targeting a decrease in pain and improving strength to restore function
Every case is different, but the goal is always the same: better movement, less pain, stronger recovery.

Preventative care is a huge part of what we do at Physical Therapists! 💪🏻 That means getting to the root of the problem, not just putting a bandaid over it!

Three patients I treated this week:

1) Pre-surgery strengthening for a knee replacement candidate. Making sure the recovery goes smoothly.

2) Preventative care for mild shoulder pain. Treating the problem before it becomes a bigger problem.

3) Athletic strengthening to prevent recurring ankle sprains on a teenage patient.

Want to work with a team of health care professionals who truly care? Professionals who want to not just solve your immediate ailments, but also help you keep away those issues for good??

The 2 p.m. crash isn’t in your head — and you’re not crazy.

If you’re feeling “off” even though your labs look “normal,” it’s time to look deeper. Hormone balance, stress, and chronic fatigue are where nutrition truly makes a difference. 🧠💪

You don’t need another supplement or fad diet — you need care that’s rooted in science and built around you. 💛

This week, we’re spotlighting 3 incredible patients who made major strides in their recovery journeys 💪✨ Their dedication inspires us every day — and we’re proud to be part of their progress! 🙌

🧠 This week in the clinic… 3 completely different stories, 1 shared goal: getting back to LIFE 🙌

1️⃣ Positional vertigo: Came in dizzy, left walking straight and smiling after a few targeted maneuvers. The look of relief when the room finally stops spinning? Priceless. 💫

2️⃣ Total knee replacement: Just 3 weeks post-op and already hitting 90° of flexion! Slow, steady, and strong — rebuilding confidence one rep at a time. 🦵💪

3️⃣ Pre-op ACL repair: Working now to make post-op recovery smoother. Strength + mobility = faster bounce back. 🏃‍♀️💥

No two patients are ever the same, but the mission is:

👉 Move better.
👉 Feel stronger.
👉 Live pain-free.

If you’re dealing with dizziness, surgery, or an injury that’s holding you back — don’t wait for “someday.” Your recovery starts with the first step. 🩺✨
