🌟 Patient Spotlight: Valinda is BACK! 🌟

Same warm, happy, fun energy… just a new case.

Valinda is a familiar face here in Boyne—this time she’s tackling back pain. By night, she’s the life of the party, mixing drinks for the locals … and by day, she’s putting in the work in PT.

We love having Valinda in the clinic and are excited to help her reach her goals—one wall sit at a time!

Back pain isn’t normal.
Let’s find the cause—and fix it.

Celebrating big wins with Wendy! She’s been working hard with Kristin, PT, on lumbar and pelvis stabilization to help manage scoliosis-related pain. The best part? Wendy is already feeling stronger during her workouts and—more importantly—throughout her daily life. Keep it up, Wendy! 💪✨

My dad had a dream to climb the Manitou Incline. This is a mountain hike that is 2768 steps, on a mountain with a 2,000 ft elevation change and a 3.5 mile hike back down. I was absolutely terrified to be stuck on the side of a mountain with no way down, or worse yet- re-injure the leg if worked so incredibly hard to heal. With a lot of family support and encouragement I decided to give it a shot and completed it in less than half the time it takes the average person to do! Again, another incredibly proud and grateful moment. This whole injury was hard, life changing, eye opening, and humbling. I know a large part of my success is because of Jeff, Jim, and Lindsay. I truly could not have done it without them.

Melissa Troup, PTA, had a great time connecting with the Friendship Center of Harbor Springs to talk about osteoporosis—and more importantly, how physical therapy can help.

Osteoporosis doesn’t have to mean slowing down or living in fear of a fall. Physical therapy plays a key role in helping people stay active, strong, and confident. Through targeted strength training, balance work, and education on safe movement, PT can help:

Improve bone health and muscle support
Reduce fall risk
Build confidence in everyday activities
Keep you doing the things you love

We’re proud to be part of a community that values staying active and informed at every stage of life. Thank you to the Friendship Center for welcoming us!
