Twice per year our staff teams up with to provide education on anatomy and biomechanics.

These sessions help their yoga teachers in training meet necessary requirements for their 200 hour YTT certification.

In these sessions, we zoom in.

We break down the biomechanics of six foundational poses, helping the group develop a new lens of how to view movements they will be leading as instructors.

We also zoom out - touching on the importance of being in a role where people are placing trust in you as a movement professional - and the responsibility that comes with that.

Thank you for placing trust in our team. Together, we get to keep our city on the move.

You cannot “SEE” pain.

You can see frustration, defeat, and hesitancy.

But, you cannot SEE how someone feels.

The “level” of an exercise or the weight you’re using is not a predictor of someone’s pain levels.

Our goal is to understand where YOU’RE at. To meet you there. And then move forward.

The toughest part about being a physical therapist is seeing people when they are at their lowest point.

It’s heavy. There’s no denying that it can take a toll on us.

The best part about being a physical therapist is watching someone accomplish something they never thought was possible.

The next best part is learning from our clients.

Every person we work with leaves a mark on us and our company.

Paige is someone who has taught us about grace, consistency, mental fortitude, acceptance, and so much more.

It’s an honor to play a small role in her story.

Congrats on all of your hard work, .phl

Don’t always believe what you think.

A lot of people have been told they have (insert diagnosis here) that will limit their movement for the rest of their life.

It’s hard to shake that.

You can either accept it or prove them wrong.

Getting a loan doesn’t make you rich.

Getting surgery doesn’t make you healthy.

What we do with these opportunities is what matters most.

Surgery can be a fresh start to rebuild stronger and healthier than you’ve ever been.

But it’s the work you do after that writes the real story.

Have been struggling to get back to your old self after surgery? Don’t accept your new normal.

Talk to our team today to start your rebuild.

The beautiful thing about strength is that doesn’t care where you start.

Strength only shows up for those who show up for it.

There’s no skipping the work that has to happen for strength to appear.

Just consistent efforts. Deposits.

Most people are unknowingly walking a fine line between the stress they are placing on their body, and what their body is capable of handling.

We call the space between these two figurative line, the Buffer.

Small buffer = more risk
Large buffer = more physical freedom

The purpose of the work we do is to increase the buffer.

We do this through a blend of graded exposure and progressive overload while manipulating two of the keys elements in any movement practice:

1. Specificity: technique, form, biomechanics, exercise selection

2. Intensity: dosing to tolerance or capacity based on injury/pain presentation.

If you’re not actively trying to increase your buffer…it’s becoming smaller.

You don’t need to sell us on the importance of why getting over this injury AND getting your life back is important to you.

We’re not going to tell you to give up trying to live a life full of movement, sport, or physical freedom.

We’re going to listen what’s important to you.

Understand WHY it’s important to you.

Then we’re going to lay out the plan.

“Take it easy” won’t be mentioned.

“Maybe try another activity” won’t be in the conversation.

We built this for the person who gives a damn about staying on the move, and trusts they can continue to do so with the right level of support.

Owner and Physical Therapist .dpt presented yesterday at the Philadelphia Sports Performance Clinic hosted by Penn Sports Performance.

The presentation covered the blend of qualitative and quantitative factors that go into the decision making process when it comes to determining an athletes level of preparedness to safely return to sport.

Although the conference was mainly directed to an audience that primarily works in Sport Performance, the same level of testing should be applied to individuals who are no longer in high school or college athletics.

Unfortunately, this level of testing (and interpretation of testing) is not something that is taught in Physical Therapy school.

What this means practically is that most physical therapists haven’t developed the specific skillset to successfully get someone back to sport after an ACL surgery - unless they’ve pursued independent learning.

This results in under-preparing an individual to return to “life” which can lead to chronic knee issues for years after surgery. Not to mention the psychological impact of having to remove certain sports/activities from their life secondary to fear of re-injury.
