Help us officially welcome Melanie (Therapy Services Coordinator) to the AST team! ❤️

Some of you have already met her—she started with us last week, and it didn’t take long to see what a great fit she is. Melanie is organized, kind, hardworking, genuine, and already taking great care of our patients.

She’s also a proud mom of two Bearcats and genuinely fun to be around.

When you see her in the clinic, please take a moment to welcome her and show her what makes our patients - and our community - so special.

Hi everyone! My name is Kaley Golden, and I’m a student Doctor of Physical Therapy at Arkansas Colleges of Health Education. Over the past 14 weeks, I’ve had the privilege of completing my final clinical rotation at Advanced Spine and Therapy.

As my time here comes to an end, I just want to say how grateful I am for the experience. I’ve truly enjoyed working with such an incredible team and getting to know all of the wonderful patients. This has been such a meaningful part of my journey, and I will genuinely miss being here every day.

Thank you all for welcoming me, supporting my learning, and making this experience so special!

💚💚💚💚

Kaley has been a true joy to get to know and a bright presence in our clinic. She is going to make a difference in so many lives!

Happy Monday 👋

Have you moved your body yet today… on purpose?

Not the “running late, chasing life” kind of movement….the kind your joints actually thank you for.

✔️ Stand up and stretch
✔️ Roll your shoulders back
✔️ Take a short walk
✔️ Fix that posture for 30 seconds

Small things add up. Your body keeps score.

📍 And if something’s been nagging you longer than it should… you already know where to find us.

🚗 Did you know AST’s owner/therapist, Adam Gunn, PT, DPT, OCS, has over 20 years of experience in creating custom automobiles and engine performance upgrades??

🚙 For the past three years, he’s donated that skillset to the Go Baby Go program—and it shows in these cars. Each modification is designed to give a child more independence, mobility, and opportunity to engage with the world around them

🚗 Go Baby Go is a national program that modifies ride-on toy cars for children with disabilities, providing them with independent mobility, social opportunities, and therapeutic benefits.

🪩 Today’s exercise:
Brynlee is demonstrating PNF D2 extensions to improve upper body coordination, strength, and functional movement.

💣 PNF= Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. PNF uses specific movement patterns that mimic how your body naturally moves in everyday life, rather than just straight up-and-down exercises. Think putting on a seatbelt, tucking in a shirt, or reaching for something on a shelf.

💣 Using a PNF D2 extension pattern challenges shoulder stability, coordination, and muscle activation in a functional movement pattern.
