Even Rowing deserves routine musculoskeletal assessment, and nobody does it better than University of California San Diego! Rowing demands efficient force transfer and injury resilience, especially for spine health:

✔️ Strong grip strength ensures stable oar control and reduces upper-limb overuse injuries. Research links grip strength to overall upper-body stability and performance in endurance sports.
✔️ Closed-Chain Ankle Dorsiflexion: Limited dorsiflexion increases risk compensatory knee/hip stress. Screening in weight-bearing positions predicts injury risk and supports better stroke mechanics.
✔️ Countermovement Jump: CMJ force-time metrics (e.g., impulse) strongly correlate with 2k erg performance. Monitoring asymmetries and power output aids in tailoring strength programs and detecting neuromuscular fatigue early.

Bottom line: These tests aren’t just numbers, they’re a roadmap to maximizing power and minimizing injury

Time is becoming increasingly difficult to come by for physical therapists: time to connect with patients, time to stay current with evidence and research, and time to acquire new skills or information. That can also make it difficult to say "I'm really not sure" when faced with challenging cases or patients who participate in less familiar sports and activities. I appreciate this review, because honesty and humility are always at the forefront of my practice - finding the answers when I do not know them, or even finding the right provider, if there is a more appropriate one than myself.

We turned two!

About a month ago, I quietly celebrated my two year anniversary of providing mobile physical therapy to the Newcastle, Bellevue, Issaquah, Renton, and South Seattle region. What began as a way out of the grind of traditional outpatient PT has persisted into an incredibly sustainable method of patient care. I am incredibly thankful for the personal and professional relationships that have been developed as a result of this.

Special shout out to for the opportunity to collaborate and continued support, and my colleagues for allowing me to be a part of their respective journeys, as well.

As we wrap up 2021, and celebrated our first birthday nearly two months ago, we are incredibly thankful for the ability to provide such a unique delivery of insurance-based physical therapy services to South Seattle and the Eastside. Reviews like this are what continue to motivate us. 🙏

Happy New Year!

Love being able to send out individualized Holiday cards to every single one of our patients this year. Incredibly grateful to provide such a unique physical rehabilitation service to Seattle’s Eastside, and are grateful for every one of our patients who have trusted and supported us this year. 🎅🏻🎄

🎄Very excited to be partnering with and other local health care providers for this year's Treehouse Holiday Drive! As a community oriented practice, we appreciate the mission of and enthusiastically support their cause.

⚠️Understanding that children in foster care may be safe from physical harm or dangerous neglect, they are still very susceptible to the social, emotional, and academic challenges that come with their circumstances.

🚌Treehouse strives to advance equity and racial justice in the foster care and education systems through providing opportunities and meaningful resources, helping to propel disadvantaged youth to success.

☑️In return for every donation, patients are allowed to "assign" a task to Dr. Chris Gering, PT, DPT, which he will complete at the end of 2021! So far, we have been assigned 50 pushups, 2 miles of running, and to... "cook a nice meal for your fiance!”

What a wonderful evening last week joining on celebrating the opening of his second Seattle-area clinic. Dr. Mak has a passion for approaching sports medicine and treating athletes with a comprehensive and highly personalized non-surgical treatment plan, with an appreciation for functional and biomechanical rehab efforts. Great meeting and seeing and at the event as well!

Hello, it’s been a while! However, this summer has been a busy one treating patients in their own home throughout the South Seattle and Renton/Bellevue area. Here is one of many reviews we have garnered recently from a satisfied patient!

We had a blast yesterday integrating functional screening into pre-season physicals conducted by sports medicine physicians from Orthopedic Physician Associates at Seattle Preparatory High School yesterday!

Research has supported the use of the Y-Balance Assessment in predicting lower extremity injury risk in high school and D1 football, basketball, and soccer players.

As student-athletes return to sport without gradual progressions, less practice before the season, and condensed preparation strategies, it is more important than ever to ensure their bodies are prepared for the upcoming demand!

We work with our patients 1:1 for a full 60 minutes, without distraction, enabling us to provide more efficient, personalized, and effective care!

Switchback Physical Therapy is committed to contributing to sustainable hiking trails in Washington and donates to the Washington Trails Association () for each review we receive!

We are in love with our new business cards from ! These cards are printed on 100% recycled cotton from T-Shirts 👕 and are entirely tree-free 🚫🌲. This is PERFECT for our practice, as it aligns with our vision to contribute to the sustainability of our natural environment. 👍

Kindness, compassion, empathy, respect: they all matter. They all have the power to lift, to lead, and to heal.

Helping others often brings hope, and even healing, into our own lives. We’re feeling that sentiment quite a bit today, and are thankful 🙏 for the opportunity to help our patients feel and move better little by little 🏃‍♂️

It only takes one match 🕯to overthrow darkness. So, in a world full of dark, how can you be a small light this weekend? Who can you show some extra love to, do something kind for, or lend a hand (or shoulder) to this weekend? 💡
