Great Job Meredith on your podium finish at Annie Oakley!!

Happy New Year everyone!! Wanted to invite you to come see us at Apex PT if you have any physical therapy needs!! I am in the same location on Houston Levee and Wolf River I have been for the last several years. Smaller, more intimate space with more time for hands on PT and diagnostic PT (looking into the biomechanics of why you might be getting injured or what is holding you back from getting better).

Other specialties include: TMJ, dance medicine, dry needling, movement disorders, myofascial treatment, mobility assessment and manual stretching, post-op rehab, return to sport rehab, and, my personal favorite, “keep me running” rehab! 💗💗💗💗

Many individuals that do not have limitations in function or pain, may have abnormal findings on MRI's as well as other forms of imaging. On the other side just because you were diagnosed with a certain pathology through imaging does not mean that surgery is the only option to return to pain free use of the injured area. There are many different treatment techniques and ways to get you back to doing what you love despite "abnormal" MRI findings. Free screenings are available to discuss what we can do for you!

“Recreational runners with a previous injury were twice as likely to sustain a running-related injury as runners with no previous injury. The most common injuries were to the knee and Achilles tendon/calf.”

Big takeaway- if you’re a runner with a history of an injury, especially to knee and Achilles/calf, please get checked out! If you’re just getting into running, feel free to set up a free screening where we can discuss potential issues and give you guidance to address these on the front end!

Run well, my friends!
