Larisa Durrenberger, PT at WAVE Physical Therapy + Pilates, was recently featured on Stridekick in their guide to cold therapy. She breaks down when and how cold exposure (like ice baths or cryo chambers) actually helps.

“Cold therapy is great for reducing both localized and systemic inflammation and soreness,” says Larisa.

On whole‑body plunges, she adds: “It can reduce overall inflammation, enhance muscle recovery after training, and positively influence metabolism and the immune system.”

She also touches on the difference between ice packs (targeted use) and whole-body cold plunges (systemic effect).

Jumping on this bandwagon… not for the likes but for the reflection.

If you would have told me when I was in my late 20’s that I would have the team I have today—exceptionally talented, smart, passionate and intelligent people around me, I wouldn’t believe you.

It feels like straight luck that I get to work with this team everyday and while there’s definitely been intent, I feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded my such amazing humans!

My mission has been to build a practice that supports the whole human— and not just our patients!

❤️ Help me celebrate our team by sharing why you love your therapist below ❤️

Can a vibration plate actually help your back pain?

Before you dismiss it as another wellness fad, the science is more interesting than you think.

In this week’s blog, Dr. Jake Meyer, PT, DPT breaks down what vibration plates really do, who they help, and—just as important—who should avoid them.

Spoiler: for certain types of chronic, stiff, lingering low back pain… gentle vibration can “wake up” the deep stabilizers your spine relies on.

Inside the blog, you'll learn:
✨ How vibration plates activate dormant core stabilizers
✨ Why they help stiffness (but not acute injury or nerve pain)
✨ The right intensity + duration to stay safe
✨ Who should not use them
✨ Why vibration is a tool—not a cure-all—and what actually drives long-term back pain relief
If you’ve ever wondered whether this tool is worth trying—or if it might actually make things worse—this guide breaks it all down clearly.

Yoga or Pilates — which one do you actually need? 🤔

The truth? It depends on your goals, your body, and what you’re dealing with right now.

If you’re chasing better posture, a stronger core, and efficient movement
→ Pilates is your lane.

If you’re craving flexibility, balance, and more connection to your body
→ Yoga delivers.

But here’s the real answer most people don’t hear enough:

The best results often come from doing both.

Strength + mobility = a powerhouse combination that supports how you move, feel, and show up every day.
