Even if you only get moving on Saturdays and Sundays, you’re still doing your body a big favor. Studies show that weekend-only exercise is far better than no exercise at all—helping reduce stress, improve heart health, and boost energy.

But… going all-in after sitting all week can also set you up for sprains, strains, and aches. That’s where we come in! We’ll help you build resilience, prevent injury, and keep you in the game—whether you’re chasing a ball, hiking a trail, or tackling that yardwork.

Getting the recommended amount of physical activity in one or two days a week may be equally effective at lowering disease risk as exercising throughout the week, new research finds.

Everyday movements matter more than you think. Tying your shoes.
Opening a stubborn jar. Carrying groceries in one trip. These “little things” are actually big wins when pain, stiffness, or weakness try to get in the way. PT and OT help keep you independent, strong, and able to do the tasks that make daily life easier. Call us today!

Raking, hauling, and bending don’t have to mean back pain! A few smart moves can help you breeze through yard work without feeling sore the next day:

✅Warm up first – 5 minutes of stretching or light walking
✅ Switch sides – alternate hands when raking or lifting
✅ Bend your knees – protect your back by lifting with your legs
✅ Take breaks – short pauses can prevent overuse injuries

If fall chores are leaving you stiff or sore, we're here for you! Call us! We'll help you recover and strengthen so you’re ready for the season.

Ankle sprains happen all the time. So when does it become concerning enough to need professional attention? DPT's Lynn Batalden, DPT, OCS, shares some insight.

https://doctorsofphysicaltherapy.com/bringing-the-ankle-to-heal/

23 May Bringing the Ankle to Heal Ankle sprain is an incredibly common injury that most people allow to heal on its own. In over 800,000 patients who reported for assessment of lateral ankle sprain, only 11% had rehabilitation codes associated with them (2016). So is ankle sprain a cause for concern...

Physical therapists can help improve many deficits resulting from the COVID-19, lengthy bed rest or long COVID. The goal of physical therapy for long COVID is to help people return to their home, work, and other activities as much as possible.

Jaren, the clinic director at our Mount Pleasant location, sharing a heartfelt experience all of us at DPT as well as those who work in health care know very well:

Every time a patient enters our facility, they enter a part of our lives. We begin a process of investing in their well being and health. Most times, we can spend a good deal of time together, and we can get to know them very well. Sometimes, we may even see them back for other physical issues, because we have invested in their care and they do feel comfortable coming back to a place or person(s) that they trust. That is absolutely wonderful. This week, I received the unfortunate news that a long time patient of mine had passed away after a silent battle with cancer. This patient was a wonderful man, always with a smile, always willing to come in and do the hard work needed to achieve success for his rehabs of varying conditions. I had know idea that he was ill. It, of course, made my heart very sad, as I always enjoyed every moment of working with him. I just want to say thank you to all of the patients that come to DPT and entrust us with their care. We most certainly care about all of you as individuals, and not just about the condition that we are treating you for. When you have completed successful treatment, we still think of you often, with well wishes and kind thoughts. You will always be part of our DPT family. So if you are ever in the area or near the clinic, do not hesitate to pop in and say hello and let us know how you are doing. To all of you, may you all have a safe holiday season! Please continue to keep yourself bodies healthy, and always remember that DPT is here when you need us!
