Excited for Williamsburg Basketball.
Lucky to have played a small role in helping some of these athletes stay on the court.

What a showing from Central PA in the state playoffs.

The Altoona Lady Lions, BG Men’s, and BG Women’s teams all made Blair County proud 👏

Moments like this are why we do what we do.

Rehabbing low back pain with . As solid as he is, we have to be creative with getting the most out of him. Load a 1,000,000,000 bar, he’ll move it. Train the uncomfortable.

Always great when old patients stop by to pay a visit.

literally traveled the equivalent distance of driving to California during her ACL rehab to get back to doing what she loves. That kind of commitment deserves respect.

People always ask us to list our Top 5 patients. Two things I know for sure…
1️⃣ Mia is definitely in the top five.
2️⃣ Anthony Cioffari is definitely in the bottom.

Some things never change. 😅


JK about Anthony. Kinda.

Here’s the deal.

At Haulman Physical Therapy, we work with everyone — from the regular Joe, to the weekend warrior, to professional athletes.

Your body is built to handle force. But too often rehab stops before people are actually ready to handle it.

Yes, there is absolutely a time to refresh the basics. Mobility matters. Control matters. The early “ouch” phase matters.

But once you’re past that phase, if you’re not progressively loading movement, how do you expect to return to things like yard work, pickup basketball, lifting, or sport — where the forces are high and unpredictable?

At some point we have to graduate from mobility drills and start doing things that actually challenge the body again.

That’s how you build resilience.
That’s how you build confidence.
That’s how you get back to doing what you love.

Physical Therapy at HPT looks different… because it is.

🚨 I had ACL Surgery… Now What?

Everyone asks the same question.

Why does that AI generated image have an awful scar?

IDK. Just to get your attention to read my long caption.

Now the real question:

“Am I behind?”

Probably not.

ACL rehab isn’t a timeline.
It’s a readiness progression.

Some athletes fly through early phases.
Some need more time.

Neither is wrong.

You progress when you show the ability to progress.
And if you can’t show it yet… you keep building until you can.

Simple.

Not every exercise is 3×10.

Sometimes you need volume.
Sometimes you need heavy strength work.
Sometimes you need regressions or lateralizations to train around symptoms.

Sore at month 4?

Cool.
Adjust. Adapt. Train the person in front of you.

ACL rehab feels complicated…

Because it is.

That’s why it matters who guides you through it.

🏥 Train with a team that progresses you based on YOUR goals — not a generic protocol.

I’ve gotten plants and landscaping from maple brook. Plants are twice the size. They stand by the quality. Show up when they say they will.

As the days get longer and the temps start creeping up, it’s officially landscaping season in Altoona 🌱
You’ve probably seen Walmart rolling out pallets of mulch, racks of colorful annuals, and stacks of garden tools right near the entrance. It’s convenient. It’s quick. It’s easy to grab a few plants while you’re picking up groceries.
But here’s the difference…
At Maple Brook Nursery, spring isn’t just a seasonal aisle — it’s our Super Bowl.
While big-box stores stock trucked-in plants selected for mass appeal and nationwide distribution, Maple Brook Nursery carefully grows and selects varieties that thrive right here in Central PA. Our plants are acclimated to our climate, cared for by our knowledgeable staff, and backed by real expertise.
At Walmart, you might grab what looks good.
At Maple Brook, you can ask:
• Will this thrive in our soil and weather?
• How often should I fertilize?
• What pairs well in this flower bed?
• Why did my hydrangeas struggle last year?
One is about convenience.
The other is about quality, guidance, and community.
This spring, consider where your landscaping dollars go. When you support local businesses like Maple Brook Nursery, you’re not just planting flowers — you’re investing in Altoona.

Patients reaction when you tell them, “We’re just going to hang from this bar with one hand.” Or “We only have 5 sets of this exercise.”

Patient: Wait…. You want me to do what? My last PT just had me pull a yellow band for 3x10.
