Working toward strength and symmetry 💙

In this photo, our client is performing a supported wall squat with hip adduction to retrain symmetrical firing of both legs. This type of exercise is especially helpful for patients who have:

✨ unilateral weakness from a lower-extremity joint injury
✨ recovering neurologic weakness from a back injury
✨ difficulty returning to normal, balanced movement patterns

By rebuilding equal strength and coordination, patients learn how to use their bodies more normally — improving stability, confidence, and overall function.
Stronger movement begins with restoring balance!

Strength starts with control — not just effort. 💪🏻

In this photo, our client is performing Level II ball sit-ups, an abdominal exercise designed to strengthen the core while keeping the lower spine stabilized. As the upper spine extends, the lumbar spine stays supported — an essential skill for safe, pain-free movement.
We teach this exercise because it directly improves overhead function. When the core can stabilize while the upper body moves, clients lift, reach, and perform daily or athletic overhead activities with greater ease and less strain.

Better stability → better function → better living.

Pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for adults, kids can benefit, too!

In this photo, a young patient is using pelvic floor biofeedback, a gentle and child-friendly tool that helps kids learn how to control the muscles that support the bladder. Biofeedback isn’t scary — it’s visual, interactive, and often even fun for kids.

By watching their pelvic floor muscles work in real time, children can learn:
what an urge to urinate feels like

-how to control that urge long enough to get to the bathroom

-how to coordinate the muscles needed for healthy bladder habits

For children experiencing urinary incontinence, urgency, or bathroom accidents, pelvic floor biofeedback can be an empowering step toward confidence and control.

If your child is struggling with bladder issues, our pelvic floor therapist is here to help with education, encouragement, and kid-friendly tools every step of the way. 💙 ✨

Strong backs are built from the ground up! 💙 💪🏻

In this photo, the patient is performing a spinal extensor strengthening exercise where the entire head and torso are unsupported, requiring all the muscles along the ENTIRE spine to engage. The glutes and hamstrings provide the foundation, creating a powerful, coordinated chain of support.

Because this movement is performed horizontally to gravity, it loads the spine safely and effectively — making it an excellent strengthening option for people with lower back problems who need a controlled, joint-friendly way to build resilience.

Safe loading + full-chain activation = stronger backs and better movement.

Cardio that cares for your joints 💙

Spin bike cardio is one of our favorite tools for patients who want a great workout without high-impact stress. It’s especially helpful for those recovering from leg injuries or anyone who can’t tolerate high-level weight-bearing exercise.

At Folsom Physical Therapy, we don’t just put you on the bike, we teach you how to ride safely. Your PT will guide you through proper setup and technique so you can move without compromising your spinal or lower extremity alignment.

Strong, safe, and sustainable movement… that’s the FPT difference! 💪🏻 ✨

Building shoulder strength starts at the foundation 💪🏻 ✨

In this photo, we’re working on a scapular depressor strengthening exercise — an essential part of shoulder rehab. A stable, well-coordinated scapula gives the shoulder the support it needs to move smoothly and heal properly.

When patients come in with shoulder pain, we always begin with the fundamentals. Strong scapular control creates the foundation for effective, long-lasting shoulder recovery.

Strength starts at the base — and we’re here to guide every step. 💙

We take the time to explain your physical findings and help you understand how they can be improved — because your recovery starts with understanding.

🛒 Ergonomics of Gardening: Wheelbarrow Wisdom
Loading and hauling garden tools or soil? Let's make sure you’re protecting your body, not punishing it.
Here’s how to move smarter with a wheelbarrow:
✅ Keep your elbows slightly bent and shoulders neutral, and chest tall, to avoid overfatiguing upper body.
✅ Engage your core and use your legs—not your back—to lift and push.
✅ Be aware of terrain and unevenness of load to avoid sidebending/twisting forces on spine.
✅ Don’t overload! It’s better to take multiple trips than one painful one.
🌿 Watch the full ergonomics breakdown here:

With good form and a little awareness, even the heaviest loads can be moved comfortably and safely.

🗣️ Who says physical therapy can’t be fun?

Balancing on balance bubbles while squatting might look like a circus trick—but trust us, there’s serious science behind the wobble!

This move trains core control, knee stability, and balance reactions—all crucial whether you’re navigating rocky trails or just aiming to stay steady in the Costco parking lot.

We help you build strength and confidence, one controlled wobble at a time. Come see what Folsom Physical Therapy can do for you!

🚶PTs who walk the walk—and the hip hinge!

At Folsom Physical Therapy, we don’t just talk movement—we teach it with purpose. Whether it’s a better squat, safer lifting form, or mastering the elusive “hip hinge,” our team is right there with you (literally).

Learning proper movement patterns can help reduce pain, protect your back, and make daily life feel easier. Plus, we promise not to make you do anything we wouldn’t demo ourselves. 😉

🌱 Ergonomics of Gardening: Weeding
Weeding can be a pain in the neck, don’t let it become a pain in your back! 😣 Here's how to stay safe and strong while getting low to the ground:
🪴 Use a stool or kneeling pad to reduce strain on knees and hips.
🪴 Work smarter not harder - try weeding when the soil is wet to get roots up easier.
🪴 Bring the work to you—don't overreach. Move frequently to stay aligned.
🪴 Alternate sides and positions to avoid fatigue and overuse.
🌿 Watch the full ergonomics breakdown here:

Weeding can be meditative—but only if you're not paying for it later. Your joints will thank you!
