It's Fix It Friday with our Gallatin Clinic Director, Tim Hall, PT, DPT! 🛠️🏃

Tim breaks down a common running form issue where the knees and thighs move too close together. This can change how force is distributed through the lower body, increasing stress on the hips, knees, and ankles and contributing to pain over time. He then demonstrates a few exercises to improve running mechanics and build better control through the hips and legs. 💪👟

How you move matters, especially when taking thousands of steps during a run. If you're dealing with hip, knee, or ankle pain while running, our physical therapists can help identify the cause and develop a plan to help you keep moving well and doing what you love! 💙

Our Bolivar team recently held a bake sale, selling homemade sourdough bread to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. Cheryl, our incredible PCC in Bolivar, shared a story that perfectly captures why these efforts matter. 🍞

One of our Bolivar patients recently came to STAR for an evaluation after being referred by TriStar Centennial Medical Center. Although her insurance benefits had been exhausted, her physical therapy visits are covered through a grant from the Sarah Cannon Cancer Center, made possible by support from the American Cancer Society.

While she was there, she asked about the sourdough bread and ended up purchasing three loaves.

As Cheryl put it, "Nothing is done in vain, and today was worth it all."

We couldn't agree more! Every dollar raised through our fundraising efforts for the American Cancer Society helps fund lifesaving research, advocacy, and support for patients and their families! Sometimes, we even get to see that impact firsthand!

Thank you to our Bolivar team and everyone who supported their bake sale efforts! 💙

FAQ Friday 👇

“Does Dry Needling hurt?”

Most people are surprised to find it doesn’t hurt much. The needles used are very thin, solid, and flexible. You might feel a quick pinch, followed by a brief muscle twitch or a deep ache. That’s actually a good sign it’s working.

Dry needling helps:
✅ Reduce muscle tightness
✅ Improve mobility
✅ Decrease pain

It’s a safe, effective technique used by our trained physical therapists to target the root of your discomfort.

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn muscle pain, this could be a great option for you. Contact us at (931) 486-0599 or request an appointment https://nuvi.me/nfb002!
