SKI TRIP 2026 🏂🤰

Plot twist… this year I hit the slopes PREGNANT.

For the past 5 years, my husband, friends, and I have made our annual trip out west for a week full of skiing (and let’s be honest… LOTS of it). It’s one of my favorite traditions.

This year looked a little different.

Did being pregnant stop me from going?
Absolutely not.

Did it mean making smart modifications to keep baby and me safe?
100%.

Every pregnancy is different, and I’m incredibly thankful I’ve been able to stay active during mine.

When I talked with my OB, it wasn’t just about the physical act of snowboarding. It was also about the mental side. Snowboarding fills my cup. I have years of experience, and I knew this wasn’t the year to push limits or chase big runs.

Leading up to the trip, I made weekly visits to .mountain to stay confident on the hill, kept up with hip mobility work, and prioritized lower body strength.

On the mountain?
Green and blue runs.
Extra snacks 🍪
Plenty of breaks.

And honestly? I still had an absolute blast.

Future ski trips might look a little different… but I’m so proud of my body for showing up for this one 💪🏻

Another ski trip in the books. Until next time 🏔️

*If you’re pregnant, always talk with your OB/midwife before intense activity.
*Not medical advice — just sharing my experience.

Such a fun time! Thanks again for having me!

Anchor Point Athletics and TC Waves 13U would like to thank Dr. Sara Gartland and Better Days Physical Therapy for providing state-of-the-art Force Plate assessments on our athletes. Force Plates are used to measure strength, jump height, ground contact time, muscle reactivity time, and more. These assessments are fun for the players to see but also provide feedback if there are focus areas for improvement.

If you are looking for a physical therapist specializing in wellness, sports performance and injury prevention, or to perform Force Plate assessments on your athletes, contact Dr. Gartland at Better Days Physical Therapy! 💪💪💪

Whether it’s from slipping on the ice or going too hard, too quick with a workout. Hamstring strains suck. 😓

Here are a few exercises that I give clients to get them started.

The key is gradual, consistent progression to truly get the hamstring back to feeling better than before!

So proud of this lady ✨

From knee pain to training for a week-long hike in Patagonia 🥾

She showed up every day—rehabbing her body and preparing it for a true bucket-list adventure.

PT isn’t just about getting out of pain. It’s about building the strength and confidence to chase your goals.

And sometimes… that goal is hiking across Patagonia. 🌍

There are pros and cons to technology, but this is a HUGE win. 📊

Advanced testing gives us specific data about strength, power, and balance, helping us guide treatment and clearly track progress.

As a physical therapist, I am grateful to offer this level specificity to each of my clients right here in a small town. This type of technology is often reserved for collegiate and professional athletes or is found only in major cities.

But with Better Days, we want to offer the best possible care, and that means having the best technology out there.

Looking to receive an evaluation using this exciting technology? Give us a call today! 231-268-0401

Physical therapy isn’t just about pain or hitting physical milestones. At Better Days, we believe what happens outside the clinic is just as important as the work we do inside it.

This past week we’ve seen some incredible wins — not just in strength, mobility, or pain levels, but in life. More confidence. More energy. More moments that matter.

Those wins deserve to be celebrated too 💛
