🌟 Spotlight Saturday: Meet Terri!

Terri joined the HealthQuest family in February 2015 as a Physical Therapist Assistant at our Lake Orion location—where she continues to make a difference today as both a PTA and Clinical Manager! 💙👏

Her passion for physical therapy began early on as a competitive gymnast and coach. Through her own athletic experiences (and a few injuries along the way!), Terri saw firsthand the incredible impact that rehabilitation and proper movement can have on performance and recovery. That experience sparked a lifelong dedication to helping others heal and return to the activities they love. 🤸‍♀️💪

After earning her BA in Communications from Michigan State University (Go Green! 💚) and later her Associate’s in PTA from Baker College, Terri joined HealthQuest and has since worked with patients of all ages and abilities. She’s especially passionate about rehabilitating young athletes and helping them safely get back to their sport.

We’re so grateful for Terri’s leadership, positivity, and dedication to her patients and team. 🌟

🦃 Thanksgiving may be delicious… but it’s also a full-body workout!
Here are some PT-approved tips to help you prep, cook, and enjoy the day without the aches and pains:
✨ Lift the turkey with your legs — not your back. Keep it close to your body and avoid twisting.
✨ Maintain good posture at the counter and avoid hunching while chopping or mixing.
✨ Don’t stand too long without a break — shift your weight, stretch, or take a quick walk around the kitchen.
✨ Use both hands when carrying heavy dishes to protect your shoulders and wrists.
✨ Keep items at counter height to avoid unnecessary neck strain.
✨ Warm up before the cooking marathon with a few shoulder rolls or gentle mobility.
✨ Use a step stool instead of overreaching overhead.
✨ Bend your knees when lifting heavy pots or bowls.
✨ Stay hydrated — muscles work better when you do!
✨ Lightly brace your core when lifting or turning.
✨ Take a moment to appreciate your body and the gift of movement — walking, cooking, hugging loved ones… it all matters.
✨ We’re thankful for physical therapy — helping you move well, feel better, and stay strong for the moments that matter most.

Spotlight Saturday: Meet Caleb!

Caleb began his HealthQuest journey in October 2021 as a PT Tech at our Rochester North clinic. After years of dedication and growth, he officially stepped into his new role as a PTA in September 2025, now proudly serving patients at our Lapeer location! 💪👏

Caleb’s interest in physical therapy sparked when he first joined HealthQuest, where he discovered his passion for helping patients become healthier, stronger, and more mobile versions of themselves. His love for fitness started early—at just 16 years old when his grandfather gifted him his first set of weights—and it’s grown ever since. 🏋️‍♂️

🩺 Ask the Therapist — with Kristen Bentley, PT, DPT, Travel Therapist

Q: What is a meniscus?
A: A meniscus is a piece of cartilage found inside the knee. Each knee has two menisci, known as the medial and lateral meniscus. They act as cushions, providing shock absorption and stability for the joint.

Healthy menisci = a happier, smoother-moving knee. 💙🦵
