🌟 Patient Spotlight: Jean 🌟

Jean came to Next Step in June looking for a plan to build strength and keep doing all the things she loves, despite having some aches and painsđź’Ş

Between her big family, frequent travels, and hilarious sense of humor, Jean has no shortage of stories to tell and gets the whole clinic laughing every time she walks in.

And at 85 years old, she’s not slowing down anytime soon! Next week, she’s jetting off to California and Hawaii for a well-deserved vacation!

We’re so glad to be part of Jean’s journey and can’t wait to hear all about her adventures when she returns! 💙

When things get a little too easy, ankle weights are a PT’s go to as simple way to keep working toward that next level 💪

Ankle mobility matters!

With calf, Achilles & plantar fascia issues being common in the clinic, this is a simple movement to test your ankle mobility.

How to do it:

* Start in a half-kneeling position about 4-5 inches from a wall or surface with your front foot flat
* Keep your heel down as you slowly drive your knee forward
* Return to the starting position and repeat on both sides
* Perform with or without a shoe👟
If you find your mobility is very limited, give us a call and we can help improve it!

🌟 PATIENT SPOTLIGHT: CHRISTINA 🌟

We’re so excited to share Christina’s story and celebrate the strength and determination she brings to every PT session!

Christina was diagnosed with Stage 1 cervical cancer on August 18, 2025. During surgery in October for a radical hysterectomy, doctors discovered additional areas of cancer, changing her diagnosis to Stage 3.

Now, nearly one year since her diagnosis, Christina is 4 months cancer-free and working hard to rebuild her strength with weekly PT sessions. Her journey has been difficult with chemo, radiation and now transfusion treatments every three weeks for the next two years, but she doesn’t let that bring her down!

Christina hopes that sharing her story will inspire others fighting cancer to keep pushing forward and never give up. We’re incredibly proud of the progress she’s made and the hard work she continues to put in every step of the way 💪❤️
