Every patient who completes physical therapy at our Leesburg clinic receives a graduation diploma to celebrate their hard work and progress.

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating Miss Vera, a determined and vibrant senior who reached an incredible milestone: moving from the floor to standing entirely on her own.

Her progress is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to regain strength and independence. Congratulations to Miss Vera, and kudos to our dedicated Leesburg team for supporting her every step of the way!

There are many reasons to consider packing at least a few healthy travel snacks on your next trip.

In addition to keeping you well-nourished, packing your own healthy snacks will help you resist the temptation to buy something on-the-go that may not be as good for your health.

If you’re not sure where to start or want a few tried-and-true ideas, we’ve got you covered.

At The Jackson Clinics, we're all about continuous education, improvement, and development, and we’re thrilled to share that we’ve started rolling out 3D Walking Gait Analysis across our clinics, powered by RunDNA!

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝟑𝐃 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐉𝐂 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬: 𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐨𝐧, 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞, 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐞, 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫, 𝐓𝐉𝐂 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞.

Most people take between 5,000 and 10,000 steps a day, and for many of our patients, that’s thousands of repetitions of improper mechanics. Even if walking isn’t painful yet, it’s important to assess and address mechanics early to set them up for long-term success.

We’re excited to bring this technology to our patients, helping them move better, recover faster, and live healthier lives!
