It’s about time I introduce you to dry needling, the newest treatment *option* over here at Game Changer PT. 🤗

I’m super excited to tell you all about it because:
1. It’s a quick and effective treatment for pain
2. It facilitates healing in the exact area that you need it
3. It makes a big impact by speeding up your recovery

And, I’m proud to say that I’m one of the first providers endorsed in Washington state who can offer dry needling services with PT.

Dry needling, or intramuscular needling, uses a thin, sterile, single-use needle to pe*****te the skin and stimulate the muscles and connective tissues underneath for healing and repair.

Dry needling helps to:
- Decrease pain
- Relieve muscle tension
- Increase mobility
- Improve circulation
- Stimulate tissue healing
- Alleviate trigger points
- Decrease inflammation (long term)

Let me tell you, it lives up to the hype 😅

And it pairs well with manual therapy and exercise to get you the best results in your recovery.

Dry needling been one of the biggest game changers for my athletes. And no, it doesn’t hurt.

But, it’s not for everyone (like if you have a mega fear of needles), which is why it’s called a treatment *option* 😜

Have more questions? Check out the new page on my website, comment, or DM.

Happy healing! 🤍

This one is for my runners out there! 🏃🏻‍♀️Oh, and my soccer players, weight lifters, softball players, cyclists, gymnasts, baseball players, basketball players, and softball players - and the list goes on, but you get the point.

If you’ve had Runner’s Knee, or patellofemoral pain, before then you know how frustrating it can be.
😬It derails training plans
😬Makes it difficult to perform at your best
😬And sometimes, it comes and goes

And it’s characterized by pain:
😬In the front of the knee/around the kneecap
😬Is dull and achy
😬That increases with knee bending or sitting
😬Present in the knee during or after activity
😬Especially during running, jumping, squatting, kicking

But lucky for you, Runner’s Knee isn’t something you have to “just deal with” and push through.

As a sports PT, I see this injury all the time in the clinic and have helped a lot of athletes get back to 100%.

I help my athletes heal from Runner’s Knee by:
✅Addressing muscle imbalances
✅Improving mobility of the knee joints
✅Teaching proper movement patterns
✅Restructuring recovery routines
✅Creating a treatment plan specific to your sport

But if you want to read a little more on your own first, check out my blog post that goes in depth about:
⚡️What causes Runner’s Knee
⚡️The best exercises to start with for Runner’s Knee
⚡️My favorite recovery techniques
⚡️How to implement ice and rest the right way
⚡️How to prevent Runner’s Knee if you don’t have it
⚡️How to start running again
⚡️Why sports PT is a great place to start

Happy healing and recovery! 😊

Best kept secrets for plantar fasciitis? ☺️👀

Plantar fasciitis is something that an athlete can battle for years (and who has time for that?). Usually by the time I see these athletes, they’ve already tried it all in their recovery:
👉🏼Changing shoes
👉🏼Custom insoles for their shoes
👉🏼Massage therapy
👉🏼Night splints
👉🏼Tape
👉🏼Rolling your foot on a frozen water bottle
👉🏼Injections (ouch)

And it’s beyond frustrating when the pain hangs around. Luckily, there’s a lot you can do to say goodbye to plantar fasciitis 🙌🏼 (and it doesn’t take years to start feeling better).

So I wrote a blog about it.

Check it out! My blog about plantar fasciitis answers a lot of the most common questions that I get from patients:

🦶What is plantar fasciitis? (And how to tell if you have it)
🦶What causes plantar fasciitis?
🦶How does physical therapy help?
🦶What are the best exercises to do? (Find a starting point!)
🦶What is the best way to get treatment?
