🎻☕ A little community, a little culture, and a whole lot of appreciation for the people who make our community special.

Yesterday, we started with a coffee tasting at Counter Culture Coffee in Union Square and ended the evening at the Kendall Square Orchestra at Sanders Theatre in Harvard Square. What a treat to enjoy an evening of live music and watch one of our patients perform on the bass!

One of the things I love most about being part of this community is getting to connect with people beyond the treatment room. ❤️

And, of course, I couldn’t help but think about the biomechanics of it all. 😉

🎻 Violinists, violists, cellists, and bassists: your upper traps, neck, shoulders, back, and rotator cuffs are doing a LOT of work! Repetitive movements, sustained postures, and hours of practice can take a toll on your body.

Consider this your friendly reminder that musicians deserve physical care, too!

At Union Square Physical Therapy, we love helping active people do more of what they love, whether that’s running, lifting, practicing yoga, or playing beautiful music.

📍 Local musicians: if aches and pains are keeping you from playing your best, we’d love to help.

Here’s to supporting local businesses, celebrating the arts, and taking care of the people who make our community thrive!

We spend so much of our days helping other people move, feel better, and get back to the things they love.

It feels pretty special to have a team that also makes time to take care of one another.

Care for the caregiver. Always.

Pregnancy changes your body. That doesn’t mean you have to just live with pain.

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help support you before and after birth, addressing common concerns and helping you feel stronger and more confident in your body.

A pelvic floor PT can help with:
- Diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles): by improving core strength, coordination, and pressure management before and after pregnancy.
- Incontinence: by addressing leaking with coughing, sneezing, lifting, running, or exercise.
- Return to activity: by gradually and safely rebuilding strength and confidence for workouts, running, lifting, and everyday activities.
- Pelvic pain: by addressing pain or discomfort during s*x, pregnancy, or postpartum with individualized treatment.
- Low back pain: by improving core and pelvic control, strength, mobility, and movement strategies to help reduce symptoms.

Pelvic floor PT isn’t just about treating problems after birth. It can be part of your preparation for pregnancy, recovery after delivery, and return to the activities you love.

So, what is dry needling? 💉

Dry needling is a modality where we use thin, sterile needles to target specific muscles and areas of soft tissue that may be contributing to pain, tightness, or movement limitations.

Dry needling isn’t acupuncture, even though we use the same needles. Dry needling is a form of Western medicine targeting specific areas of tissue that are causing pain. 

As physical therapists, we use dry needling as part of an individualized treatment plan—not as a quick fix. It is a tool we combine with hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, and movement training to address the bigger picture.

Why might your PT recommend it?
• Muscle tightness or trigger points/”knots”
• Certain types of persistent pain
• Limited mobility
• Muscle-related movement restrictions

Your body is unique, and your treatment should be too. If pain or tightness is keeping you from the activities you love, let’s find out what’s really causing the problem and create a plan to get you moving again.

Want to check in with your posture? Try this simple wall test.

Stand with your back against a wall and notice what feels natural.

Then gently bring your body into contact with the wall—without forcing your head, ribs, or low back into position.

You can use this as a quick awareness exercise throughout the day:

→ How are you standing?
→ Where are you holding tension?
→ Can you soften your shoulders?
→ Can you take an easy breath?
→ Can you shift positions instead of staying in one “perfect” posture?

And most importantly: there is no single perfect posture.

Your body is designed to move.

Try checking in with your standing position in different places throughout your day—at your desk, while brushing your teeth, waiting for your coffee, or standing in line.

Small moments of awareness can add up.

Your PT Should Watch You Move 🏃‍♀️

We don’t want to know what your body can do on the table. We want to know what it can do in real life.

As physical therapists, we love our objective measurements. Your range of motion, strength, and balance all play a role in your overall health and mobility. But this doesn’t always give us the full picture.

What we really need to see is how you move. How you walk, squat, lift, run, reach, or perform the movements that matter to you can provide valuable information about what may be contributing to your symptoms.

Analyzing your movement helps us connect the dots about what is truly limiting you, and how we can fix it. Life asks a lot of our bodies, and the best time to take care of them is now. 💪🤲
