✅Balance & coordination
✅Strength & endurance

🪄 Not just a trick—it’s a look at how your body functions today. 💪🏼 Let Kansas Orthopaedic Therapy Team help you reach your goals!

🎮 Turn Screen Time into Strong Time! 💪

Looking for a simple way to get your kids moving before they jump into video games?

Dr. Jex, M.D. Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon, has a challenge for you!

Earn your play time:
⏱️ Plank for as many seconds as the number of minutes of video game time you want.

Examples:
✅ 30-second plank = 30 minutes of gaming
✅ 60-second plank = 60 minutes of gaming

It’s a fun way to build core strength, improve posture, and encourage healthy habits—without taking away the fun.

Remember, there doesn’t have to be a perfect time to start. Even 1 minute a day is a great first step!

Parents, are you willing to take the challenge with your kids? We’d love to see your family plank times! 💪👇

❗️Dry Needling Hamstring❗️

⚡️Recurring hamstring pain is rarely just a stretching problem.

⚡️If your hamstrings always feel tight no matter how much you stretch or foam roll, the real issue may be muscle trigger points and improper loading.

✨ Dry needling helps:
✅Release deep muscle trigger points
✅ Decrease pain and muscle tension
✅Restore muscle function
✅ Improve mobility and flexibility
✅ Prepare your muscles for proper strengthening and loading
✅Support a faster recovery

⚡️Don’t let nagging hamstring pain keep you from doing what you love.
💡Let us help you get to the root of the problem—not just treat the symptoms.

📞 Schedule your dry needling appointment today!
