Synapse Physical Therapy Promenade

We love lifting and pushing each other! Sometimes we get carried away and have competitions in the clinic for who is strongest.

We also love pushing our patients and utilizing our equipment to help our patients achieve their goals. Stop by one of our locations to address those lingering issues!

And yes, Jeff is the strongest.

Wishing all of our clients and friends a happy and safe Halloween tomorrow! Our clinics will be open regular business hours. Shout out to Giulia for this Synapse PT Pumpkin. 🎃

October is National Physical Therapy Month! We are so grateful to be able to serve our community and help you achieve your goals. Give Synapse Physical Therapy a call if our amazing staff can help you perform your best!

🚨 WE MOVED 🚨

To all of our patients and friends, we have officially moved our Superior clinic! We are now located at 100 McCaslin Blvd, Unit 107 next to Papa John’s and Firehouse Subs across from Superior Liquor. We are very excited to see everyone in the new clinic.

It is important to remember that Tendinopathies typically arise from a repetitive movement either for a prolonged time or with a load that our body is not prepared for. Come see Synapse PT to learn how to prevent and/or address Tendinopathies!

Jordan Jensen, PT, DPT, ATC is a physical therapist at our Superior location. He grew up in Dorchester, Nebraska.

After practicing for three years in Nebraska, he moved to St. Louis where he completed his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Washington University in St. Louis. Immediately following graduation, he moved to Colorado to get closer to the mountains.
 
In his free time Jordan loves to hike, workout, and spend time with his two dogs and his girlfriend. He loves to spend time with family and friends while trying to be as active as possible.

Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy is a very common injury amongst many populations. Common symptoms include pain in the shoulder and the inability to actively raise the arm.

Conservative treatment can involve education, NSAIDs, ice, and physical therapy. Contact Synapse Physical Therapy if you are dealing with shoulder pain!

Over this series, we will discuss common areas of tendinopathies, who are typically affected, and common treatment options. Comment below which tendinopathy you would like covered!

Tendinitis can turn into tendinosis, chronic inflammation leading to deterioration of the collagen fibers of the tendon, if not properly managed.

PT can help set up a plan to manage the tendinopathy and safely return you to the activities that you enjoy without pain. If you think that you have been dealing with a tendinopathy, call Synapse to set up an appointment to get back on the right track.
