Dr. Tyler found her solution - manual therapy, improving flexibility, and strengthening exercises.

Nita is now dancing through her summer at her favorite Zumba classes and has confidence in her body again.

Chuck came to our East Memphis location with pain in his mid back after a fall. That pain quickly subsided with Tyler's hands on, manual therapy skills.

However, they didn't stop there! They focused on improving Chuck's strength and balance to give him the best chance of not having another fall in the future.

Chuck is now feeling more confident than ever and is enjoying the summer with his grandchildren.

Want to sleep better this week?

We all know sleep is important, but sometimes we feel like the quality of sleep is out of our control.

Lifting weights was found in research to be the most effective non drug strategy to improve sleep quality. And it's not just that is wears us out. R

Resistance training activity stimulates muscles to produce hormones that help us regulate our circadian rhythm and stress hormones so that we can drift off to sleep and get into deeper sleep states.

Leave "weights" in the comments if you want to be notified when our upcoming posts about strength training are released.

Need more on sleep? Message us the word SLEEP and we will send you some personalized information about getting a better nights sleep.

Trevor's why for maintaining health & mobility includes fishing with his son and one day his grandchildren.

What summer activities do you want to be able to continue doing for decades to come?

So often patient's come to us with seemingly impossible injuries or limitations. We love helping them see what is possible and setting goals for themselves.

What a great quote from Nelson Mandela, "It always seems impossible until it is done".

You don't have to wait for an injury to receive physical therapy treatment.

Gradually worsening neck and shoulder pain brought Lawana to Peak Potential based on the recommendation of a family member. Simple things like sweeping her house, carrying her purse, or pushing a grocery cart were becoming difficult.

She experienced significant improvements with a personalized prescription of massage, joint mobilizations, and stretching. She is now back to staying busy and playing with her grandchildren without being limited by pain.

How can we help you get unstuck and back to living your best life?

Thank you Annette!

She was excited share her awesome experience at Peak Potential with a 5 ⭐ review.

In addition to her kind words above, she praised Elena saying she "could not be nicer, is caring, and supportive. She is absolutely wonderful with her clients".

These reviews on Google, Facebook, and our website really do help others in our community make more informed choices for their health. We appreciate every single one.

The summer heat can increase swelling and inflammation in our joints. So keep your joints cool this summer by . . .

1. Wearing lightweight and breathable clothing.

2. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and move to the shade when possible.

3. Take advantage of indoor facilities like gyms and community centers to exercise in a climate controlled environment.

4. Use cool compresses or ice packs on inflamed joints to decrease inflammation.

It is also wise to avoid overindulging in processed foods high in sodium and added sugars that increase inflammation in the body. And of course - stay hydrated!

Interested in more ways to improve your joint health and move with more ease through these summer months? Give us a call to schedule a physical therapy consult where we can customize a plan to fit your unique needs and goals.

Arthritis can be a pain in the winter due to stiffness but summertime often brings increased inflammation. Here are our tips for keeping distort at bay so you can keep moving your way.

1️⃣ Keep moving with low impact exercise. This will maintain flexibility and keep synovial fluid moving through the joints. A sedentary lifestyle is the worse thing you can do for arthritis.

2️⃣ Enjoy healthy seasonal food. Fresh produce that you find at the Farmers market (shout out ) like berries and greens can help decrease inflammation in your body resulting in decreased joint pain.

3️⃣ Stay cool & hydrated. Both heat and dehydration can lead to increased inflammation and pain. So load up on water, find some shade, and choose the hours you spend outside wisely when the heat index is reaching 100 degrees.

Need more support to stay active and pain free this summer? Give us a call to inquire about cost and availability of one on one sessions with our doctors of physical therapy.

How often do you experience a nagging ache, stabbing pain, or intense pressure in your head?

An estimated 45 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches and many of these people are retreating from their daily lives due to pain. Others are trying to manage day to day by constantly popping ibuprofen or aspirin.

The problem with painkillers is that we are treating symptoms and are never getting to the root cause of the problem. And without treating the cause, the headaches keep coming back – and often more frequently.

How about we find a better, faster, and more permanent solution?
