🦵 Joint Replacement Season is Approaching!

Thinking about having joint replacement surgery? As we get closer to the end of the year, many people are preparing for total joint replacements—especially as they get closer to meeting their insurance deductibles.

One thing you may not realize: depending on your surgeon and your specific plan of care, physical therapy may need to begin within a day or two after surgery. Some patients may even need PT 3x per week during the early stages of recovery.

👉 Don’t wait until after surgery to call and schedule your physical therapy! Getting your PT set up ahead of time can help make the transition home smoother and ensure you’re ready to start your recovery when your surgeon recommends.

📞 If you have a knee replacement coming up, give InMotion Physical Therapy a call and get your recovery plan started today!

📚 Learning, Growing & Connecting!

Our InMotion Physical Therapy team recently traveled to Charleston, WV, for the WV APTA Conference! 🩵

We had a great time continuing our education, learning new techniques and ideas, and bringing back valuable knowledge to help us provide the best care possible for our patients.

Of course, continuing education is even better when you get to do it alongside great coworkers and colleagues! We enjoyed learning, connecting, and making some great memories along the way. 🙌

We’re always looking for ways to learn more, grow as clinicians, and better serve our community!

🌀 Foam Rolling for Mid-Back Stiffness!

Feeling stiff through your mid-back after sitting at work or spending time at home? Try incorporating a few simple foam roller activities into your day!

A few favorites include:
🤗 Hugs – open and close your arms while extending over the roller
🏊 Swimmers – move your arms through a swimming motion while maintaining your position
⬇️ Decompression – relax over the roller to gently encourage mid-back extension
↔️ Horizontal Rolling – place the roller horizontally and gently roll through the mid-back
Foam roller tip: There are several types of foam rollers available! A softer roller will generally be easier to tolerate, while a firmer/harder roller or one with k***s will provide a more intense experience.

✅ Keep your low back flat! This helps position the movement where you want it—in your mid-back—while also encouraging better core activation.

Try these at home or even during a break at the office to help combat stiffness and keep your spine moving!

If you’re experiencing persistent stiffness or pain, let a qualified professional help determine what’s contributing to it. 💪

“The environment was fun and the exercises were challenging and aimed at helping me meet my goals. My physical therapists really listened to me and were attentive throughout my recovery.”

🏋️ Can You Perform a Deep Squat?

A deep squat is one of our fundamental movement patterns. It requires good mobility, stability, and coordination from your ankles, knees, hips, and core. One of the most common reasons people struggle with this movement is limited ankle dorsiflexion—the ability to pull your ankle upward over your foot.

If your heels lift, your knees can’t move forward, or you feel stiff or unstable at the bottom of a squat, your ankles may be the limiting factor.

Try these simple half-kneeling ankle mobility exercises:
✅ Static Hold – Hold the end-range stretch to improve ankle mobility.
✅ Mini Pulses – Small, controlled forward movements to reinforce mobility.
✅ Large Pulses – Increase the range of motion while maintaining good control.

Perform each exercise for 10–15 repetitions or hold the static stretch for 30–60 seconds, and repeat 2–3 rounds on each side.

Improving ankle mobility can help you squat deeper, move more efficiently, and reduce unnecessary stress on other joints during everyday activities and exercise.

If you’ve been stretching your ankles but still can’t achieve a comfortable deep squat, there may be another movement restriction contributing to the problem. Our physical therapists at InMotion Physical Therapy can identify the true cause of your movement limitation and create a plan to help you move better.
📍 Move better. Feel better. Perform better.
