Mother's Day is this Sunday, and nothing says "I appreciate you" quite like investing in her health.

If the mom in your life is a runner, there's no better gift than helping her do it stronger and pain-free. At Axis, our running assessment uses a 13-point visual analysis, video review, and a full physical therapy evaluation to identify the movement patterns contributing to pain or inefficiency, and build a program to address them.

From there, we build a program tailored to her specific needs, using manual therapy, targeted exercises, and movement retraining to help her return to what she loves, stronger and more confident than before.

It's one of the most meaningful investments you can make in her long-term health.

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming the TCE+ team for a bike fitting and dryland training session, and it was an incredible evening.

Proper bike fit and sport-specific conditioning are two of the most underutilized injury prevention tools in mountain biking. A bike that fits correctly reduces unnecessary stress on the knees, lower back, and shoulders, while dryland training builds the hip stability, core strength, and reactive balance that keep riders in control on technical terrain.

For young athletes, especially, building these habits early makes a significant difference in long-term health and performance on the trail.

We are proud sponsors of The Cycle Effect and its mission to empower young women through movement and community. And if you're ready to ride stronger and safer this season, stop by for a proper bike fitting— your knees will thank you!

Summer is closer than you think, and your body needs a head start.

If you're transitioning from ski season to hiking, mountain biking, or summer trail sports, now is the time to start moving differently. The ones who prepare intentionally are the ones who stay healthy and perform well all season long. Here's where to focus:

✅ Hip and glute activation: Skiing is quad-dominant. Summer mountain sports demand more from your posterior chain, so bridging that gap now matters.

✅ Rotational strength and core stability: Controlled, powerful movement through your trunk is essential for technical terrain, whether you're on a bike or on foot.

✅ Dynamic warm-ups: Prime your body before every outing with movement-specific warm-ups that activate the full kinetic chain.

Even two to three sessions per week make a significant difference. Not sure what that looks like for your sport and fitness level? Our team at Axis can build a plan around where you are right now. Contact us to learn more!

Where you go for physical therapy matters more than people think.

It’s not just about getting exercises. It’s about working with a team that understands how your body moves and what you’re trying to get back to, whether that’s recovering from surgery, dealing with an injury, or just getting back into your routine.

Here in Summit and Eagle County, a lot of what we see ties back to staying active. That’s why it helps to work with a team that’s familiar with those patterns and already connected with local providers.

At Axis, the focus is simple. One-on-one care, clear communication, and helping people move better so they can get back to what they enjoy.

Most people with scoliosis are told to just "monitor it." That may not be the best advice.

Scoliosis and kyphosis aren't just curvatures on an X-ray. For the people living with them, they show up as chronic back fatigue, uneven movement patterns, difficulty breathing deeply, and pain that affects everything from daily life to time on the mountain.

In this video, Meredith gives us a look inside her scoliosis studio, where she works with Axis clients to explore posture, Schroth therapy exercises, and individualized treatment plans designed to slow progression and improve quality of life.

We’re excited to bring Wellness Month back to Axis this May!

What started as a single week has grown into a full month dedicated to movement, recovery, and overall well-being. Throughout May, we’ll be hosting a series of free classes and workshops led by local professionals, covering everything from mental health and nutrition to strength, mobility, and more.

All sessions are free and open to the community. If you’ve been looking for a way to reset, learn something new, or simply spend an hour focusing on yourself, this is a great place to start.

Hearing from long-time community members means a lot to us.

Many of the people we work with come in more than once over the years, whether it’s for a new injury, a recurring issue, or something that just doesn’t feel quite right after activity. Our goal is always to provide consistent, high-level care while making the process feel approachable and supportive.

If something feels off after a workout or outdoor activity, it’s worth getting it looked at early. Addressing small issues now can help prevent bigger setbacks later.
