Active Alliance PT

Time flies! We can’t believe we’ve been open for a full year! We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has come to see us, referred someone our way, or given us support as we’ve navigated this first year. We’re so fortunate to have so many wonderful people in our corner.

To our patients: thank you for your hard work, your consistency, and for complimenting us on our music choices! We do our best to make our clinic a fun and inviting place, but you all are who really make it a joy to come into the clinic each day.

We’re excited for many, many more years of serving Upstate SC, and hope you will all join us on our journey to try to make our community a healthier, happier, and more active place!

NEW BLOG!!!

The dreaded tendonitis…we’ve all had at least two friends in the past month tell us they’re dealing with tendonitis. We’ve decided to shed some light on the common condition with a series of blog posts! Part one discusses the age old adage of “no pain, no gain” and how it may relate to dealing with a painful tendon! Check it out!

Grant is out of the clinic for a few days this week because he is helping teach the next generation of outstanding PT’s at ! Grant and Jenna are both adjunct faculty for this great program up in Boston, and love the opportunity to teach and connect with new professionals.

Do any of these sound familiar?
🛑“You have back pain? You should stop lifting heavy weights.”
🛑“You should stop running if it hurts your knees.”
🛑“Tennis will tear up your shoulders, you should probably quit playing.”

We’re often not big fans of that advice. Check out our blog to see why!

P.S. it’s the second blog in the list, we actually published it last month but didn’t announce it.

MEET THE TEAM:

Hi, I’m Dr. Jenna Banks! I have journeyed from TN ➡️ OH ➡️ SC ➡️ WA ➡️ SC…and am proud to now officially call Greenville home. I’ve been practicing physical therapy for 9 years. During this time, I’ve completed advanced training in orthopedics and developed a specialty in pelvic floor therapy. These are fancy words for: if you’re dealing with any type of ache or pain or any issue related to pregnancy & childbirth, pooping, peeing or in*******se, I can help you!

I love high intensity exercise like CrossFit, hiking, sports (especially 🏀), snowboarding, swimming, and running! I’m also a sucker for musical theater 🎵🎶 and totally obsessed with the Olympics and Paralympics. If you love similar things, we are going to have a lot of fun working together!

In addition, my own journey in becoming a mother of 2 young sons has led me to love treating people throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. One of the most fun things I get to do in my work outside of the home is help people achieve their goals after childbirth!

If you’d like to get back to doing something that you love, keep an eye on this page! We’ll make an announcement when my schedule is up and running for the month of May!

MEET THE TEAM:

Dr. Grant Banks has been a physical therapist for 9 years and is excited to use that experience to support the Greenville, SC community! He has worked with all sorts of different people, from professional extreme sports athletes to grandmothers who love sculpting the perfect garden. Over the years he has undertaken specialized training in orthopedics and manual therapy (hands-on treatments), and has developed specific passions for treating back pain, neck pain, and tricky tendon issues. However, he’s thrilled to work with ANYONE who is motivated to get back to a sport, activity, or exercise routine that brings them joy!

Outside of the clinic, Grant loves to get his heart rate up with exercise at the YMCA, weightlifting, tennis, hiking, golf, and snowboarding. At home, his wonderful wife and two sons keep him busy, and he enjoys struggling his way through woodworking and DIY projects!

If you’d like to work with Grant to get back to doing something that you love, keep an eye on this page! His schedule will be opening up in May, and we’ll make an announcement when the schedule is up and running!
