Today marks 4 years of Range!

This annual reflection always leaves me in awe. The personal and professional growth, the incredible people we are surrounded by, the stories and patients who walk through our doors, our connection to this community, the memories we’ve made, and the power of movement continue to amaze me.

I know I say it year after year, but I am truly humbled by where the clinic is today and incredibly grateful for the support of our team, patients, friends, family, and community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported our small business in so many ways. I can’t thank you enough.

I’m so excited for all that’s to come in this next year and to continue making a positive impact in our community.
Expand your Range. Enhance your life.

With appreciation,
Maddie Leininger (Small), DPT

We’re excited to welcome Sarah Lucero, LMT to the Range Physical Therapy + Wellness team! She will begin accepting clients starting the week of April 20th.

Sarah’s focus areas include Swedish and deep tissue massage, trigger point and myofascial release, self care and at-home stretch guidance, pain management and stress relief techniques, and sports and performance massage.

“I was raised north of Missoula on the Flathead Indian Reservation with the Mission Mountain Range in my backyard in St. Ignatius, MT. I have always been inspired by the endless amounts of things to learn while experiencing the outdoors with friends and family. And I also know the importance of taking care of our bodies so that we can continue to recreate in the outdoors for work and pleasure.

I am a graduate of Sacred Roots Massage School of Montana, where I completed 750 hour Massage Certification and was able to embark on my career as a Massage Therapist. I have always been enthralled with health and wellness, and going through my massage therapy program only deepened my appreciation for the human body and all its capabilities. As a Massage Therapist I am passionate about full-body relaxation and therapeutic massage techniques. I look forward to meeting my clients where they are today, with compassion and grace.

When I am not working, I am obsessed with my dog Flora, cooking with friends, landscaping, swimming in the rivers, boating, mountain biking and snowboarding.“

We can’t wait for you to meet her! As we finalize her schedule, please contact us to get on Sarah’s waitlist.

Reaching the Summit: Hiking + Trail Running Progressions

Trail season is here in Missoula. If you’re getting back into hiking or trail running this spring, starting with a gradual progression can help build endurance, strength, and confidence while reducing injury risk.

Our physical therapist, Maddie Leininger, DPT, shares simple ways to ease back onto the trails.

Hiking Progression
• Start with outdoor walks to test the distance you want to cover
• Transition to hikes and begin adding inclines
• Progress by increasing pace, distance, choosing steeper climbs, or carrying a weighted pack
By gradually increasing the challenge, your body becomes better prepared for different types of trails and reduces your risk of overuse injuries.

Trail Running Progression
• Build running tolerance on flat surfaces first
• Transition to trails with a hike to jog progression
• Use time or distance intervals on hills and gradually increase jogging time
This graded progression helps your body adapt to varying terrain, strength and aerobic challenges, and elevation changes, while improving tissue tolerance for trail running.

Strength training for your core, posture, and lower legs can also improve climbing efficiency, balance on uneven terrain, and overall stability on the trails.
