🎄 12 Days of Physical Therapy – Geriatric Training! 🎄

On the third day of Christmas my Physical Therapist gave to me: Geriatric Training!

✨ Geriatric Training ✨

As we age, it’s common to experience changes in strength, flexibility, and balance. These changes can make daily tasks or even simple movements feel more challenging — but that’s where physical therapy can make a big difference!
Our geriatric training programs are designed to help older adults:
�💪 Improve strength and endurance to make everyday activities easier
�🦶 Enhance balance and coordination to reduce the risk of falls�
🚶 Increase mobility and confidence in walking and movement
�💖 Maintain independence and quality of life for longer

Through individualized exercises, balance activities, and functional training, our therapists help patients stay strong, steady, and active — no matter their age.
At North Platte Physical Therapy, we believe it’s never too late to invest in your health and movement. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or simply want to stay active and independent, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Stay tuned for Day 4 of our 12 Days of Physical Therapy series as we continue to unwrap the many ways PT can help you move through life with strength and confidence!

Such a blast to get creative at Area 59!

🎄✨ Tonight’s stained glass class was extra special. This whole group received the class as a Christmas gift, and what a perfect present it turned out to be!

They spent the evening learning new skills, laughing together, and creating these gorgeous stained-glass Christmas trees. Each piece is completely unique, just like the makers behind them.

There’s nothing quite like gifting an experience — especially one that brings friends together and sends them home with something handmade, meaningful, and festive. We loved having this crew in the shop tonight… their joy was absolutely contagious! ❤️💚

🎄 12 Days of Physical Therapy – Neuromuscular Re-education! 🎄

On the second day of Christmas my Physical Therapist gave to me: Neuromuscular Re-education!

At North Platte Physical Therapy, we’re continuing our 12 Days of Physical Therapy celebration — highlighting the many ways we help our patients heal, move, and live better!

✨ Neuromuscular Re-education ✨

Neuromuscular re-education is a specialized part of physical therapy that focuses on retraining the connection between your brain, nerves, and muscles. When injury, illness, or a neurological condition affects your ability to move, this type of therapy helps restore balance, coordination, and control.

We work closely with patients recovering from:
🧠 Stroke
💪 Neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis
🚶‍♀️ Injuries or surgeries that have affected movement or muscle control

Through targeted exercises, balance training, and guided movement patterns, our therapists help retrain the body to move efficiently and safely. The goal is to restore confidence, independence, and quality of life — one step, one movement, and one connection at a time.

At North Platte Physical Therapy, we believe that every small victory matters — whether it’s taking a first step after a stroke or regaining hand coordination. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Stay tuned for Day 3 of our 12 Days of Physical Therapy series as we unwrap another way physical therapy helps you move forward this holiday season!

🎄 12 Days of Physical Therapy – Modalities! 🎄

On the first day of Christmas my Physical Therapist gave to me: Modalities!

At North Platte Physical Therapy, we’re celebrating the holiday season with 12 Days of Physical Therapy — a fun and informative way to share what we do to help you move, heal, and feel your best!

✨ Modalities ✨
In physical therapy, modalities are specialized tools and techniques we use to reduce pain, promote healing, and enhance recovery. These treatments work alongside exercise and manual therapy to optimize your results and help you get back to doing what you love.
Here are a few of the modalities we offer at North Platte Physical Therapy:

💉 Dry Needling – Targets trigger points in muscles to relieve pain and improve movement.

🪶 SAStM & Graston Techniques – Use specialized instruments to break down scar tissue, improve mobility, and promote tissue healing.

🔊 Ultrasound Therapy – Uses sound waves to stimulate deep tissue healing and reduce inflammation.

🔥 ThermaStim – Combines heat and electrical stimulation for deep muscle relaxation and pain relief.

🔴 Red Light Therapy – Uses specific light wavelengths to boost cellular repair and reduce inflammation.

🥣 Cupping Therapy – Uses gentle suction to increase blood flow, loosen tight muscles, and encourage tissue healing.

⚡ E-STIM (Electrical Stimulation) – Helps reduce pain, improve circulation, and re-educate muscles after injury.

Each modality is carefully chosen by your therapist to support your individual recovery goals — because no two patients (or treatment plans) are the same! These are just some of the modalities out team has to offer.
Stay tuned tomorrow for Day 2 of our 12 Days of Physical Therapy series as we continue to unwrap the many ways we help our patients feel their best!

🎄✨ Ladies Night Holiday Magic! ✨🎄

We had an absolutely joy-filled time at this year’s Ladies Night Chamber of Commerce event! The whole evening sparkled with Christmas spirit—twinkling lights, amazing local artisans, and so many wonderful gift ideas for the holiday season. 🎁❤️

A huge thank-you to our very own Elie, who volunteered at the event—you brought so much warmth and holiday cheer to the night!

With only 6 days left in Medicare Open Enrollment, these truly are the final days to review your coverage for 2026. Now is the time to make sure your Parts A, B, D, and your Medigap plan will fully support your needs in the coming year.

If you’re enrolling in Medicare for the first time, be sure to sign up for Parts A, B, and D—even if you aren’t currently taking any prescription medications. There is a penalty for joining Part D later, and none of us can predict what the future holds.

Here at North Platte Physical Therapy, we genuinely care about our patients and want you to have the best coverage possible. Insurance can be confusing, but it is something every one of us relies on at some point. Lean on trusted local resources, ask questions, and work with people who truly have your best interests at heart.

Don’t choose a plan just because of a commercial or a phone call.
Do your research. Ask for help. And remember—Medicare lets you choose.
