Over the weekend, several of our STAR clinicians attended our COMT Program course titled "Exercise Rationale for Manual Therapists," led by our Manual Therapy Specialist, David Sheer, DPT, MOMT, FAAOMPT!

The course focused on the concept of exercise as medicine, highlighting how each musculoskeletal injury needs the right "dosage" of exercise to heal effectively. Whether it's ligaments, muscles, cartilage, or discs, all require proper stimulation through exercise to support tissue repair and achieve optimal patient outcomes.

We're proud to invest in our clinicians' growth so they have the tools and knowledge to deliver exceptional care to our patients every day! 💪

🦶 Mobility Tuesday: Meet Your Posterior Tibialis 🔍

Ever feel arch pain, ankle instability, or foot fatigue? Your posterior tibialis might be the hidden culprit.

This small but mighty muscle supports your arch, controls foot movement, and plays a key role in every step you take.
When it’s overworked or inflamed, you might experience:
⚠️ Inner ankle pain
⚠️ Collapsing arches
⚠️ Trouble with balance or walking

Today, we’re diving into posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) — what it is, how it shows up, and why it matters for long-term foot and ankle health.

📍Don’t forget to check back Friday for exercises to support and strengthen this often-overlooked muscle!
