Are you curious if your running mechanics are causing your pain? Do you have no pain but wonder how you can be more efficient? Have you heard you should do some strength training as a runner but don't know where to start? Do you leak when running and wonder what pelvic floor PT can do for you?

If any of these questions apply to you, schedule an appointment for a run analysis so we can get you in top shape for your fall races! DM or email kelsi@dashphysio.com

It's been a while since we've scheduled community events but we're back at it! Here's a couple of May collabs with local gyms and trainers. Excited to meet more of the active Lexington community and help them get out of pain.
If you've been to physical therapy before and they told you your only answer was to rest or to stop moving for a while to perform only banded exercises or you're still in pain after "completing PT"- come get a second opinion from us!

Hey there!

My name is Michelle and I’m a physical therapist who specializes in treating pelvic floor conditions!

I graduated with my doctorate in physical therapy from Marshall University (Go Herd!) and have lived in Kentucky for about 4 years now.

I have always loved treating the active population but specifically women with pelvic floor conditions such as incontinence, urinary urgency, pelvic pain, and prolapse.

Over the past year, I have also cultivated a passion for treating the antepartum and postpartum population especially in the area of fitness. I myself have a little girl and must say I have a new respect for all the mommas out there embarking on their fitness journey! I also love to teach and empower women in delivery preparation whether it's your first baby or fifth! It’s one thing to recover after giving birth but it’s another to prepare for the birth experience you dream of!

A few fun facts about me:

-I have a little girl named Nova.
-I have an Australian Shepard who is very jealous of Nova.
-I love all things nutrition. (But guilty pleasure includes pizza rolls!)
-I played soccer in college.
-My husband and I are from the mountains but love the beach!

Let's expand a little bit on some of the benefits of seeing Dash PT as an out-of-network practice:

FREEDOM: KY is a direct access state so that means you don't need a doctor's referral to see a physical therapist. Some insurances, however, require it. That causes you to spend more to go to the doctor, sometimes multiple, before you can get a script to see a PT. You also have the freedom to choose a provider you connect with, and not be bounced around because a practice's schedule is full so you have to retell your story regularly. Find someone who gets you.

CUSTOM: as a physical therapist only practice, your Doctor of Physical Therapy will guide you through all activities and movement and adjust things that bother you instead of stopping an exercise or working through pain that may be making you worse. You also won't be stuck doing the same exercises as the person who came in before you or the one that's coming after. You are your own person and if everyone's doing the same thing in your PT clinic, your PT is not customized to you and you're probably being treated by a burnt out PT.

GOAL-FOCUSED: working with an active population, we have some people who have pain hiking, some running, some lifting. If all of these people have knee pain, like previously stated, you shouldn't all be doing the same thing. We are focused on activity focused care and that means addressing the mechanics of what you will be doing. If you have pain squatting with heavy weight and you don't have access to weight (most traditional clinics don't), you are not rehabbing appropriately and your care may take significantly longer. Your PT at Dash will focus on your goals and target activities to you!

SAVE TIME & MONEY: we find a plan that works for you and your pocket. You won't have to spend 2-3 days per week driving through traffic, sitting around waiting for your PT to say hi after working with a tech for your hour session. Exercise is how you get better and we create a valuable home program for you so you don't have extra MD/PT appointments, extra copays just so a clinic can make money (plus more if you haven't met your deductible). Also we provide superbills & accept HSA/FSA!

I love quick results. Now it doesn't always happen that way, but sometimes it can. Especially when I, the physical therapist, has time to really work with you, watch you move and adapt things if they need to be adapted. This is not something you will get at a traditional clinic 90% of the time.

Spend time with the doctor, not the tech. Reach out today if you're having any aches/pains that is stopping you from living your life.

"Quick Success!" - this patient was 1000% part of my team mentality. Here's what I mean by that -

I can't "fix" you. No one can "fix" you. But as a physical therapist, I can guide you through a program that will help increase your body's tolerance to activity (hiking, soccer, rock climbing, biking....any activity).

But here's the kicker.... YOU have to put in the work with me. We're a TEAM! And this patient did that. Which allowed him to get to what he wanted to do pretty quick. And then because he was seeing me on a cash pay plan, he decided to continue to address other things that have been bothering him before they became a problem.

This is why I love what I'm doing with Dash PT. People can come and feel better in 2 visits over a span of 2-3 weeks and be pain free and/or back to 100% activity (as opposed to traditional clinics having you come in 2-3x/week for several weeks when you don't need that). Or if you have multiple areas of pain like this patient did, great! We are not restricted. Let's work on it.

If you have something going on pain wise or have an injury and would like guidance and don't want to spend all of your time and money doing non-specific exercises at the traditional clinic that you could do at home, DM us!

New blog is up today. I'm not a strong writer, but I hope you learn even a little something.

As a physical therapist, I get a lot of questions about shoes. What are the right type of shoes? How often do I need to change out my shoes? What’s the best shoe brand? And my answer is always, “it depends.” Like with everything, everyone is made differently, moves differently, has a different...
