Over the weekend, several of our STAR clinicians attended our COMT Program course titled "Exercise Rationale for Manual Therapists," led by our Manual Therapy Specialist, David Sheer, DPT, MOMT, FAAOMPT!

The course focused on the concept of exercise as medicine, highlighting how each musculoskeletal injury needs the right "dosage" of exercise to heal effectively. Whether it's ligaments, muscles, cartilage, or discs, all require proper stimulation through exercise to support tissue repair and achieve optimal patient outcomes.

We're proud to invest in our clinicians' growth so they have the tools and knowledge to deliver exceptional care to our patients every day! 💪

🥧 PIE A PT FOR A GREAT CAUSE! 🥧

Our East Nashville clinic is getting MESSY for an incredible organization!

We have chosen Royal Table Inc. as our fundraising initiative for this year! Royal Table Inc. is a local nonprofit with ties to our clinic, founded on the belief that knowledge and resources improve conditions within any community. Their mission is to inspire philanthropy and build partnerships to address the needs of underserved populations, regardless of background or experience. They're working to improve the lives of youth, their families, and their communities through various programs, including food drives, housing assistance, STEM projects, and literacy programs.

Here's how YOU can help:
🗳️ $1 = 1 vote to choose which PT gets pied in the face! Patients decide who gets pied, with the therapist receiving the most donations taking the pie!

🥳 $5 ticket gets you into our after-hours party to watch the pie-ing happen LIVE. Voting ends August 8th, and the After Party pie-ing will take place that evening. Good music, finger foods, and watching your favorite therapists get a PIE to the face! 🤣
