We’re so happy Ms. Cricket reached her physical therapy goals! She started physical therapy at our Alamo clinic in July with severe knee pain due to osteoarthritis, making things like getting in and out of the tub, going up and down stairs, and even sleeping 6-8 hours difficult. She now has full knee range of motion, very minimal pain, and can do all those things without difficulty!

In her words, “I am alot better. I am very well pleased”.

We were honored to host Congressman David Kustoff this week at our Dyersburg clinic! We showed him the "why" behind the excellent care we offer across our 74 locations and discussed the SAFE Act.

By 2030, an estimated 52 million Americans will experience a fall, resulting in 12 million injuries. By then, the financial burden for American taxpayers is projected to be 50 billion dollars due to fall-related injuries.

The SAFE Act, which stands for Stopping Addiction and Falls for the Elderly, aims to improve Medicare coverage by providing seniors with no-cost access to fall risk assessments and fall prevention services by physical or occupational therapists during annual wellness visits or initial preventive physical exams. It's crucial as falls are the leading cause of injury for people over 65.

We commend Congressman David Kustoff for his support and for recognizing the value of physical and occupational therapy in the lives of our patients. By strengthening access to physical therapy for aging Americans, we can improve lives, prevent falls, and reduce healthcare costs!

Our Bolivar Clinic is putting the "The SMACKDOWN On Cancer!"

For each $100 raised, a therapist will get a SMACKDOWN of pie to the face!! 100% of the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society - Tennessee!

People often ask us if STAR is short for anything and if so what? 🧐

Well, here’s the scoop!

STAR is an acronym that stands for Spine Therapy ⭐️ Athletic Rehabilitation.

We are proud to be a part of Trojan Nation by providing athletic training coverage at Dyersburg High School! Matt Lynch, ATC, works diligently to keep the student-athletes safe and in the game! We’re praying for a great school year for all. Go Trojans!
