Did you know? Carpal tunnel symptoms like tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hand don’t always start in the wrist.

Often, the real issue is nerve irritation higher up — in the forearm, shoulder, or even the neck. When those nerves get compressed or irritated, the symptoms “show up” in your wrist and hand.

That’s why treating only the wrist often doesn’t solve the problem. You have to address the whole nerve pathway.

Cycling is amazing for your heart, lungs, and longevity…

…but your pelvis might not agree.

Numbness, pressure, burning, or pain “down there” isn’t just part of the ride — it’s a signal your body is asking for change.

This week’s newsletter/blog breaks down:

✅ Why saddle + posture mechanics irritate the pelvic floor
✅ The surprising role your hips and core play in cycling comfort
✅ Simple fixes (bike fit, mobility, strength, breathwork) to keep you riding pain-free

🚲 You don’t have to give up your bike to protect your pelvic health.

If you’ve had a joint injection—whether it’s a corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, or another option—you might wonder:

👉 Should I pause physical therapy?

The answer: Almost never.

Here’s why PT + injections work best together:
Injections turn down pain + inflammation.

PT uses that window of relief to restore motion and retrain movement.

Together, they reduce the need for repeat injections and build long-term resilience.

Think of it this way:
Injection = turning down the volume on pain
PT = retraining your body to move better

Stopping PT after an injection means you may miss the chance to actually fix the root cause. That’s why we often recommend being seen within 24 hours—when pain is lowest and mobility is highest.

When pain feels complex—headaches, TMJ, tinnitus, vertigo—it’s easy to feel like you’ll never find real relief.

Here’s what one client shared about working with Dr. Sara Koehl:

“She helped me significantly with headaches, TMJ, tinnitus, and vertigo. Her knowledge of the body, especially women’s health, is exceptional. She explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. Sessions are always welcoming and supportive—it feels like working with a trusted friend who happens to be extremely skilled and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert, compassionate PT services.”

Compassion + expertise = care that truly changes lives.
We’re so proud of the work Sara does to help clients move past chronic pain and into confidence again.

“Should I stop moving if I’m in pain?” 🤔

It’s one of the questions we get asked most often—and the answer isn’t always black and white.

Here’s the truth:
Pain doesn’t always mean you have to stop.

Movement, when guided, can actually help you heal.

The right partnership—PT + trainer—keeps you progressing safely.

👉 Acute pain needs protection + gentle motion.
👉 Chronic pain often responds best to strategic, graded exercise.
👉 In both cases, avoiding all movement can make recovery harder.

This is why your physical therapist and trainer should work together: PT ensures safety, trainer ensures consistency, and together they keep you moving toward your goals.

A strong core isn’t about six-packs or endless crunches.

It’s about stability, coordination, and control that supports everything you do—walking, running, lifting, even breathing.

The “best” core exercise depends on your starting point: postpartum moms rebuilding strength, runners chasing efficiency, or beginners learning stability.

In our latest blog, Dr. Sarah Crawford, PT, breaks down the right exercises for every stage—plus how to know when you’re ready to progress.

✅ Build a stable foundation
✅ Train smarter, not harder
✅ Protect your spine + joints

Tingling, numbness, or pain radiating from your neck down your arm? 🖐️

A pinched nerve (cervical radiculopathy) isn’t something to just “stretch it out.”
Here’s how to handle it safely:
➡ See a PT first – Early evaluation identifies the cause and creates a safe, personalized plan.
➡ Be cautious with massage – Deep pressure can worsen nerve irritation if done too soon.
➡ Targeted exercises & posture work – Strengthening the neck and upper back supports your spine and prevents recurrence.
➡ Cervical traction (home or clinic) – Can help temporarily relieve symptoms, but only with guidance.
➡ TENS units – Helpful for symptom relief while your PT plan works on the root cause.
Pinched nerves don’t have to mean chronic pain—early, guided care makes all the difference.

Why Everything Starts Hurting After 40

Hit 40 and suddenly everything aches?
You’re not broken—your muscles, nerves, and hormones are just asking for a little more attention.

Here’s what’s happening inside your body:
➡ Muscle is expensive to maintain—skip strength work, and your body trims what it thinks it doesn’t need.
➡ Hormones shift—testosterone, estrogen, and growth hormone gradually decline.
➡ Nerve connections change—but your body can re-route if you keep your muscles active.
➡ Anabolic resistance—older muscles need more protein and stronger stimulus to grow.
➡ Lifestyle matters—sedentary habits accelerate loss; strength, movement variety, and recovery protect you.

Decline isn’t inevitable. Strength training, smart nutrition, and good recovery help you stay strong, protect your joints, and maintain independence for decades.
