Most people think physical therapy is just for the early stages of an injury — get the swelling down, stop limping, and you’re done.

PT covers the entire journey. From the moment you get hurt, through reducing pain, rebuilding strength, returning to daily life, getting back to your sport — all the way to performing at your best and staying there.

Stopping PT the moment you feel okay is one of the most common reasons people end up re-injured. Feeling okay is not the same as being ready.

We’re with you the whole way — not just the beginning.

All kinds of new patients walked through our door last week.

Runners. Lifters. Weekend warriors. A few who just woke up one day and something wasn’t right.

Different ages, different sports, different injuries — but all with one thing in common: they stopped waiting and did something about it.

If you’ve been putting something off — this is your sign. Link in bio to book, or DM us and we’ll figure out if we can help.

A lot of people live with these symptoms and assume it’s just something they have to put up with. It’s not.

Swipe through our pelvic floor screening checklist and note how many apply to you.

If you checked 3 or more — that’s worth paying attention to. Pelvic floor dysfunction is extremely common and very treatable with the right care.

We see patients dealing with leaking, pelvic pain, bladder urgency, and more — and most of them wish they’d come in sooner.

Your first step is a private, professional assessment with one of our PTs. No judgment, no awkwardness — just answers and a plan.

So many of the issues we deal with in Physical Therapy is due to stiffness.
The root cause isn’t always in the same spot as the area of pain.
Stiffness in one area causes more stress on another part of the body -> turns into pain.

Common areas of stiffness – Ankles, Hips, Upper back.

These are issues we address daily and many people have no idea they have an issue – they are focused on the pain itself.

Exercises in images:

Bent knee eccentric calf raises – knee slightly bent with toes on elevated surface. Heel comes up, then drop to floor slowly – start with 8 reps, with very slowly lowering phase (5s long)

Pigeon Pose – leg on ground, try to keep shin oriented horizontally. Shift weight into leg on floor – 1 minute hold

Field Goal Posts on Foam Roller (up spine) – Lay on foam roller, let arms fall to side keep forearms parallel to floor, let elbows and hands sink to floor together – 2 minute hold

From Luke:
Back in 2013, I was given this note from my surgeon (Dr Tingstad) when I was about to get shoulder surgery, playing baseball.

This question is always in the back of my mind, as it reminds me that we’re always developing who we are, and the small steps we take today shape who and what we become over time - good or bad.

I often tell my patients that 1% in the right direction today will add up considerably over 30 days and more.

So what are you becoming by what you do today?

Many people think Physical Therapy is just for after surgery. A lot of what we see is injuries that aren’t bad enough for surgery, or someone trying to avoid surgery.

Movement issues, strength imbalance, and mechanic faults are the usual culprits when someone is have pain or needing to rest from their sport.

If you want to see if you have an issue with these, or want more info, comment “MOVE” below.
