Wellness Wednesday!☀️

Who says you need a gym membership or an hour-long workout to be active?

Carrying groceries, taking the stairs, gardening, cleaning the house, or playing with your kids all get your body moving! These everyday activities can help build endurance, challenge your muscles, and keep you moving throughout the day.

We often think exercise only counts when we’re in workout clothes, lifting weights, or breaking a sweat at the gym. But the truth is, movement is movement!

The little things you do throughout the day add up, and staying active doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. Whether you’re hitting the gym, chasing your dog around the yard, or carrying all your grocery bags in one trip because you’re determined not to make a second trip (we’ve all been there), you’re using your body in ways that matter!

At Perform Physical Therapy, we believe wellness is about more than just workouts. It’s about building the strength, mobility, and confidence to do the things you enjoy in everyday life!

Happy Monday!!

From ACL recovery to the Chicago Marathon!

This past Sunday marked a full-circle moment worth celebrating! Exactly two years ago, on October 12, our former patient, Emma went through an extensive ACL and meniscus repair surgery, after suffering an ACL and meniscus tear. This past weekend, she crossed the finish line of the Chicago Marathon…. a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and determination it takes to come back from an injury!

As a former Perform Physical Therapy patient, we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate this incredible milestone with her! Recovery is about so much more than healing from an injury. It’s about rebuilding strength, trusting your body, and finding your way back to the things you love.

Two years post-op, 26.2 miles later, and so much to be proud of. Congratulations, Emma on this amazing accomplishment! We are so proud of you!

Your comeback is worth celebrating. Keep performing! 💙

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

I’m sure many of us grew up hearing the warning that cracking our knuckles is going to cause arthritis, but is there actually any truth behind it?

Good news! That familiar popping sound isn’t your bones grinding together! Your joints actually contain a fluid that helps keep them lubricated and moving smoothly. When you crack your knuckles, a change in pressure inside the joint causes a gas-filled cavity to form, creating that popping sound you hear.

But here’s the big question… does it cause arthritis?

No! Research has not shown that habitual knuckle cracking causes arthritis. So, despite what you may have been told growing up, cracking your knuckles doesn’t automatically mean you’re damaging your joints!

However, if cracking a joint causes pain, swelling, or persistent discomfort, it’s worth getting checked out. There’s a difference between a harmless pop and a joint that’s telling you something isn’t right.

The takeaway? Not everything we’ve heard about our bodies is true! Understanding how our bodies work helps us separate common myths from facts and make more informed decisions about our health.

We hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Monday! In addition to Physical Therapy Month, October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This month is a reminder to pause, check in with ourselves, and prioritize our health. Knowing your body, recognizing changes, keeping up with recommended screenings, and speaking up when something doesn’t feel right are all important parts of taking care of yourself.

But this month is also about the people behind the statistics—the women who have fought, those who are still fighting, those who have overcome, and the families and loved ones who have stood beside them💗

To anyone who has been affected by breast cancer in any way, please know that you are seen, supported, and never alone.

Take a moment this month to check in with yourself, encourage the women you love to do the same, and remember that your health is worth making time for, not just in October, but all year long.

Know your body. Know your normal. Take care of you.

Happy Physical Therapy Month!🥳

October is all about celebrating the profession that helps you move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing what you love!

Physical therapy is about so much more than recovering from an injury. It’s about restoring confidence, improving mobility, preventing future injuries, and empowering individuals to take an active role in their health and wellness.

Behind every milestone is hard work, dedication, and a team committed to helping you reach your goals. Whether you’re getting back to your favorite sport, returning to your daily activities, or simply working toward a healthier lifestyle, we’re here to help you every step of the way!

This month, we’re celebrating our profession, our patients, and the incredible impact movement can have on quality of life!

Here’s to moving better, feeling stronger, and living life to the fullest!

Happy PT Month from your Perform Physical Therapy family! ❤️

Happy Wellness Wednesday!☀️

We’re all about your health and wellness today!

When we think about being “healthy,” exercise is often the first thing that comes to mind, but wellness is much bigger than how often you work out.Movement is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but so are the things we do outside of the gym.

- Nutrition helps provide the energy and nutrients your body needs.

- Sleep gives your body and brain time to recover and recharge.

- Stress management can help support both your mental and physical well-being.

- Recovery allows your body to adapt to the demands you place on it.

- Connection and relationships are also an important part of overall well-being.

You don’t have to do every single thing perfectly. Wellness isn’t about checking every box every day, it’s about creating habits that support your health over time.

Sometimes wellness looks like getting your workout in. Sometimes it looks like taking a rest day, eating a nourishing meal, getting an extra hour of sleep, taking a walk, or simply giving yourself a break.

**Your health is more than your workouts. Take care of the whole you!**

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a great weekend!

Are you having pain or soreness? Knowing the difference can help you know when to keep moving and when to take a step back.

Muscle soreness after exercise is common, especially when you try a new exercise, increase your intensity, or challenge your muscles in a different way. It often feels dull, achy, or tender and typically develops within 12–48 hours after exercise.

Pain can feel different. Sharp, sudden, or worsening pain (especially pain that occurs during a movement or is accompanied by swelling, instability, or difficulty using the affected area) is something to pay closer attention to.

That doesn’t mean all pain = injury or all soreness = good. Your symptoms, how they behave, and how they change over time all matter.

Not sure what you’re feeling? A physical therapist can help you understand your symptoms and develop a plan to keep you moving toward your goals.

Happy Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that the music you listen to during a workout can actually change how exercise feels?

Research has found that listening to music during exercise can decrease perceived exertion, meaning your workout may feel a little easier, even when your body is still working just as hard. Music can help shift your attention away from feelings of fatigue and discomfort, while also increasing motivation and making exercise feel more enjoyable.

The tempo can matter, too! Faster-paced music may help you maintain a quicker rhythm during activities like running, walking, or cycling. And when a song has a strong beat, it can naturally give you something to move along with!

Of course, music isn’t a replacement for proper training, recovery, or listening to your body… but if putting on your favorite playlist helps you enjoy your workout and keep moving, that’s a pretty great reason to press play!

So next time you’re struggling through those last few minutes, turn up the volume and see if your favorite song gives you that extra push.

If you have a favorite song that makes its way onto your workout playlist, drop it in the comments!

Happy Wellness Wednesday!☀️

Sometimes, the people we share our lives with become the people we share our goals with…and sometimes, those journeys bring us even closer.

This past July, Michelle (owner and physical therapist at Perform Physical Therapy), and her close friend and longtime patient, Mary competed together at the National Triathlon Championship in Milwaukee. There, they earned their spots to compete at the World Triathlon Championship in Hamburg, Germany, in September 2027! They will be competing for team USA!

Michelle and Mary’s relationship started as a friendship long before Mary became a patient at Perform. Today, they share not only a friendship, but a passion for movement, fitness, and challenging themselves to reach new goals.

Their story is a reminder that the people in our lives can become an important part of our journey… whether they’re friends, patients, training partners, or all three!

At Perform Physical Therapy, we’re proud to build relationships that extend beyond the treatment room. Our patients become part of the Perform family, and we love getting to celebrate their accomplishments both inside and outside the clinic.

Here’s to friendship, movement, big goals, and accomplishing them together.

From Milwaukee to Hamburg — the journey continues! Congratulations to these two incredible women!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a great weekend full of rest and recovery!

Our question for today is what does it actually mean to move well, and is there such thing as perfect movement?

When we think about movement, we often focus on how much weight we can lift, how fast we can run, or how flexible we are, but moving well is about more than just performance.

Moving well is about being able to get out of bed in the morning without any discomfort. It’s carrying your groceries, playing with your kids, getting back to your favorite sport, or feeling confident navigating your daily routine.

So no, there is no such thing as “perfect movement” because movement looks different for everyone! Everyone’s goals, experiences, and bodies are different.

That’s why physical therapy isn’t a “one size fits all” approach. Understanding your individual needs and what you want to accomplish helps guide the process of improving how you are.

At Perform Physical Therapy, we believe movement should help you live your life, not hold you back from it!
