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 💪❤️

Your home stretches might not be the most exciting part of your day😅…but it’s one of the most important!

Doing your exercises between appointments helps you stay on track, improve faster, and get the most out of your PT 💪🏼

Your future self will thank you and Dr. Dan might stop asking if you’ve ~actually~ been doing them.

⛳️ Golf season is here!

A more mobile upper body can lead to a smoother, more consistent golf swing. Before you tee off, give this quick stretch a try to improve your rotation.

How to do it:

* Hold a golf club at shoulder height in front of you.
* Rotate your arms and rib cage as far as you comfortably can, keeping your lower body still.
* Move slowly and with control for 5-10 reps, then switch sides.

🏌🏼‍♀️ Save this stretch for your next round and your scorecard might thank you!
