Just by adding this ONE thing to your programs, you can increase performance and prevent injury at the same time. Move sideways! This is true for the inactive person with back or knee pain, right up to professional athletes, and can be as simple as side stepping, pushing into the ground while in side plank, or you can up the intensity by adding resistance. The key is knowing what level to start at for your body and incorpating it consistently. Ask your AT for more options!

Training and therapy are the same thing, it just depends on what part of the contiuum you're in. AT's are ideal therapists for the active individual because we can help with both. Why you should try this 👇 It's challenging, it's fun, and depending on how you load it, you can work on range of motion, strength or power. It will challenge your legs, core, and shoulders. #wednesdayworkout

We brought in a sweet, matte black custom knee brace this week for one of our clients. 😍 ❓Why might you need a custom knee brace? OA, or osteoarthritis braces can help relieve pain. If you've got an instability, a brace can help you through the recovery process and in returning to activities with some protection. Have more questions? We're happy to chat!

We LOVE receiving messages about your sessions! Check out these two texts from recent new clients. When it comes to insurance coverage, most insurance companies do cover Athletic Therapy services, but it is up to your employer/HR to know to request it (or make it a choice). ▶If you're an employer, ask your benefits coordinator about adding Athletic Therapy to your plans. If your an employee, we've been told many companies will keep track of service provider requests for future planning, so it doesn't hurt to ask.
