Turns out your spice rack might be onto something. Turmeric’s curcumin has been shown to calm inflammation and help with knee arthritis—making dinner a little more powerful than it looks.

Nothing better than helping athletes get back to doing what they love, pain free!

Ever hear a “pop” during treatment and wonder what’s actually happening? That might be joint mobilization or manipulation—two powerful, pain-free techniques we use to restore mobility and reduce discomfort.

Mobilizations are slow, controlled movements used on stiff joints (like hips, elbows, or the spine) to stretch surrounding tissues and reduce restriction. Manipulations, on the other hand, are quicker movements that may produce a satisfying “pop”...what we call cavitation.

Both are highly effective when performed by trained clinicians, and at VASTA, you’re in expert hands. Whether you're recovering from injury or just want to move better, we’ve got you.

A huge congratulations to Bre on completing her 1-year post-doctoral residency in advanced orthopedics! Balancing that level of advanced training on top of a full-time clinical schedule is no small feat, but she absolutely crushed it!!

Vermont high school sports are evolving, and we’re here for it! From expanded opportunities to new tournament structures, these changes are a big deal for local athletes.

As a clinic that works with youth athletes every day, we see firsthand how important access, support, and preparation are. That’s why we’re excited to see these shifts taking shape across the state and proud to be part of keeping Vermont’s next generation strong, healthy, and ready to compete.

Read more about what’s ahead:

Looking ahead to the 2025-26 school year, the Vermont Principals’ Association unveiled tentative fall championship sites last week in addition to announcing a slightly shortened spring schedule for some teams and changes to the state’s out-of-season coaching policy.

Preseason is here. The heat is up. And we’re already seeing athletes coming in with one of the most common issues this time of year...muscle cramps! Recent studies have shown that muscle cramps are often caused by muscle fatigue disrupting your body’s natural safety systems—not just dehydration or electrolytes like we used to think!

At VASTA, we work with youth athletes and active adults all summer, to make sure you stay strong, stretched, and ready to perform. 💪
