Our team loves sharing knowledge beyond the clinic walls! 💪🏽We’re so proud of our very own Kira Negrete for guest lecturing at George Fox University on Therapeutic Considerations in Pelvic Health! She introduced first-year student physical therapists to the structure and function of the pelvic floor, discussed common diagnoses, and guided them through case-based learning. What an incredible opportunity to inspire the next generation of PTs! 🩺

💬 “Helping people reach their goals — that’s what keeps me motivated.”

For Ken Call, PT, DPT and clinic director, some of the most rewarding moments in his career come from seeing patients return to the activities and adventures they love — whether it’s hiking up Badger Mountain or celebrating life milestones with family.

At Therapeutic Associates, we’re proud to empower our patients to move freely and live actively every day. 💪

Dr. Hannah had the opportunity to take an Athletes & Pelvic Rehab continuing education course through Herman & Wallace last weekend! She partnered with Big Sky PT to explore different movements set to strengthen the lumbopelvic-hip complex and learn how to improve conditions such as urinary incontinence for athletes of all ages. Let us know if you need a musculoskeletal expert to evaluate your core muscle performance, balance, running form and more!

10/24/2025

Are you engaging your core correctly?

If you’ve ever been told to “engage your core” but weren’t quite sure what that actually means, this video is for you!

We’re talking about the transverse abdominis—your deepest core muscles. Correct core engagement is key for all functional movement, from lifting groceries to hitting the gym. These stabilizing muscles are the foundation for safe, strong movement.

Learning to activate them properly can help with:
✅ Reducing back pain
✅ Improving posture
✅ Enhancing balance
✅ Boosting performance in everyday tasks

If you’re unsure if you’re activating your core the right way, talk to your physical therapist. We’re here to help you move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free!

Labor and birth preparation: One of our favorite specialty programs for pregnant women is labor/birth preparation with our pelvic health PTs. We teach common positions that may be utilized during labor, utilizing surface EMG biofeedback to help the mother practice lengthening the pelvic floor and learning what positions work best for her body, as well as teaching her support person how to perform pelvic pressures for pain relief! This preparation helps facilitate a smoother delivery, decreases the risk of perineal tearing, and empowers moms with knowledge! Are you expecting? We would love to help- give us a call today and ask about our labor prep visits! ☎️🤰📞
