Movement doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective.

The 3-2-8 method is a simple, sustainable approach to movement that supports consistency, recovery, and long-term health—and we love seeing it get the spotlight.

We’re proud to see our very own Larisa Durrenberger featured in Stridekick, sharing how this method can help people move more intentionally, build strength, and stay active without burning out.

Smart structure. Real life movement. Long-term impact. 🌊

We’re honored to be featured in talking about PEMF mats and how they can support people dealing with chronic pain rooted in persistent stress.

Chronic stress keeps the nervous system stuck in “on,” which can amplify pain, slow recovery, and make rest feel impossible. PEMF can be a helpful tool to downregulate the system, improve circulation, and support tissue healing—especially when paired with thoughtful movement and hands-on care.

Grateful to be part of a larger conversation about addressing pain at the root, not just the symptoms.

Why Exercise During Menopause Isn’t Optional

Dr. Sarah Crawford, PT, DPT, breaks down why movement during perimenopause and post-menopause is essential—not optional. From preserving muscle and bone strength to supporting metabolism and mood, the right exercise routine can transform how you feel now and decades into the future.

✨ “Exercise isn’t about punishment or fighting aging—it’s about supporting your body through a natural transition so you can stay strong, capable, and confident.” – Dr. Sarah Crawford

Larisa Durrenberger, PT at WAVE Physical Therapy + Pilates, was recently featured on Stridekick in their guide to cold therapy. She breaks down when and how cold exposure (like ice baths or cryo chambers) actually helps.

“Cold therapy is great for reducing both localized and systemic inflammation and soreness,” says Larisa.

On whole‑body plunges, she adds: “It can reduce overall inflammation, enhance muscle recovery after training, and positively influence metabolism and the immune system.”

She also touches on the difference between ice packs (targeted use) and whole-body cold plunges (systemic effect).

Jumping on this bandwagon… not for the likes but for the reflection.

If you would have told me when I was in my late 20’s that I would have the team I have today—exceptionally talented, smart, passionate and intelligent people around me, I wouldn’t believe you.

It feels like straight luck that I get to work with this team everyday and while there’s definitely been intent, I feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded my such amazing humans!

My mission has been to build a practice that supports the whole human— and not just our patients!

❤️ Help me celebrate our team by sharing why you love your therapist below ❤️

Real Talk From a Client

Can a vibration plate actually help your back pain?

Before you dismiss it as another wellness fad, the science is more interesting than you think.

In this week’s blog, Dr. Jake Meyer, PT, DPT breaks down what vibration plates really do, who they help, and—just as important—who should avoid them.

Spoiler: for certain types of chronic, stiff, lingering low back pain… gentle vibration can “wake up” the deep stabilizers your spine relies on.

Inside the blog, you'll learn:
✨ How vibration plates activate dormant core stabilizers
✨ Why they help stiffness (but not acute injury or nerve pain)
✨ The right intensity + duration to stay safe
✨ Who should not use them
✨ Why vibration is a tool—not a cure-all—and what actually drives long-term back pain relief
If you’ve ever wondered whether this tool is worth trying—or if it might actually make things worse—this guide breaks it all down clearly.
