💬 “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. 💪

Behind every great patient outcome is a team that never stops learning. Our clinics regularly come together for in-services to collaborate, problem-solve, and exchange best practices. It’s one of the many ways we invest in our clinicians’ continued development and keep our care cutting-edge.

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!
