***Testimonial Tuesday***

Here is some feedback we are getting from our patients lately - highlighting Dr. Emma Gasinski today.

3 different patients:

One had debilitating back pain with sharp pain down the leg preventing him from sleeping comfortably for the last 3 months. He came to therapy and we saw these results in 4 weeks 🙌 he's not 100% back but definitely on his way to recovery.

Second is a patient who had been dealing with heel pain the last 6 months. He has been coming to therapy for the past 5 weeks and has KILLED it and is now back to fly fishing and biking through the beautiful roads of North Carolina.

Lastly, another patient who had back pain he was seriously contemplating surgery. He has been to therapy for the last 4 weeks and has made tremendous strides! We now have him back to doing yoga, building his home, and enjoying life again 🤗

Furthermore - they all have HOPE. AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR - to celebrate the little things, the big things, to be a shoulder to cry on, and a hand to high five when successes are made.

IF YOU HAVE HAD NAGGING PAIN OR DEALING WITH AN INJURY - we are here for you! Allow us to be on your side and get you back to doing the things that you love! Make an appointment today!

Catch Dr. Audra at Glenn Bridge, Saturday January 21st for an overhead squat clinic! The open is just around the corner and we haven’t seen the overhead squat in a while so it just may show up!
🏋🏽‍♀️
The overhead squat is a challenging and demanding lift that requires a great amount of strength and mobility but when performed correctly, it’s an amazing lift for full body strength and conditioning! Hope to see you there!

Please welcome Dr. Emma Gasinski to the Breakthrough team! She is available Tuesday-Thursday at the RAD location and is ready to see clients!
A little about Emma: Originally from Illinois, Emma has her B.S. in Biology from Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI. She then moved to Utah to achieve her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions in 2020. Her journey in physical therapy began after she fell in love with the Asana practice of yoga during her early high school years. She then pursued her 200-hour teacher training in 2014 and has been consistent with her daily practice since. She has taught many different styles of yoga and incorporates alignment based cues in her teachings.

As a physical therapist, she has treated people of all walks of life with special emphasis in older adults, working with them on reducing fall risk and improving overall fitness. She also loves treating dizzy patients whether it be BPPV or vestibular hypofunction. She has had continual education specializing in helping those with chronic or persistent pain and utilizing techniques such as trigger point dry needling, myofascial decompression, myofascial release, spinal manipulation and mobilization, as well as adding mindfulness training into her clinical practice. Emma also has experience with helping older adults with osteoporosis or osteopenia optimize their bone mineral density.

She enjoys treating yoga practitioners, hikers and backpackers, CrossFit athletes, older athletes, vestibular disorders, pickle ballers, and anyone looking to learn about incorporating and optimizing plant-based nutrition or mindfulness into their daily life.
When Emma’s not in the clinic, you can find her in the gym, on her mat, wandering in the trees, or experimenting in the kitchen!
