We’re proud to support and the THV 11 Summer Cereal Drive! 🥣
Hunger doesn’t take a break when school is out, and this amazing initiative helps ensure kids in our community have access to food all summer long.
All of our locations are now collecting cereal/breakfast donations, and our teams have even decorated special boxes to make it fun and easy to give! Stop by, check them out, and drop off a box (or two!) to help make a difference.
Together, we can help feed hungry kids across Arkansas 💙

A lot of people ask us: Is it better to rest completely or stay active on recovery days?

The answer often depends on the situation, but active recovery can be really helpful. Light movement like walking, stretching, or gentle mobility work can help keep blood flowing and reduce stiffness.

That said, your body also needs true rest at times, especially when recovering from an injury or intense training.

Shoulder pain when lifting your arm or reaching overhead can sometimes be related to the rotator cuff. These muscles play a big role in stabilizing and moving the shoulder joint.

Physical therapy can help by improving shoulder strength, restoring mobility, and addressing the underlying movement issues that may have contributed to the injury in the first place 💪
