The Triple Hop Test is one of the ways we determine if an athlete is truly ready to return to sport.

It’s simple in concept: three powerful hops on one leg. But what we’re really watching goes far beyond distance.

We’re analyzing control, stability, and how the body absorbs and produces force with each landing.

This test helps us measure:
• Single-leg power
• Landing control and stability
• How well the knee, hip, and ankle work together to manage load

Getting back to sport isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about proving your body is ready for the demands ahead.

A strong test isn’t just about jumping far. It’s about explosive takeoffs, controlled landings, and rock-solid alignment from start to finish. 💪

If you’re recovering from an injury and want to make sure you’re actually ready to return to sport—not just hoping you are—we can help.

When pickleball players complain about shoulder pain but have never tried these exercises. ✨

Dealing with shoulder pain on the court? These are some of the key exercises we often recommend to help:

✅ Wall Balls
✅ Row & Twist
✅ 90° Away From Rack
✅ 90° Facing Rack
✅ Cross Body
✅ Across Pulls

These movements help improve shoulder stability, build rotator cuff strength, and increase range of motion to support better swings.

Curious which ones are right for you? Ask your clinician at your next visit. 💙🎾

As a physical therapist, this is one of my go-to exercises when someone comes in with jaw pain. 💢

Most people assume it’s only a jaw issue…
But tightness in your upper back, neck, and shoulders can feed straight into jaw tension.

Thread the Needle helps open up the upper back, improve mobility, and ease the tension that may be contributing to your discomfort.

It’s simple, not flashy, but incredibly effective when done consistently.

Save this for later and let us know if you feel the difference. 💪

How Standing, Functional Exercises Fit Into Smarter Low Back Pain Rehab.

Most people think low back exercises only happen on a treatment table with gentle stretches and basic core work. But your back doesn’t live there. It works when you’re standing, reaching, lifting, and twisting.

Standing, functional exercises train your back in the positions you actually use every day. They build strength, control, and resilience so your body is better prepared for real-life movement.

Used the right way, these exercises don’t just calm symptoms. They help protect your back long term and reduce the chances of pain coming back. 💪

🦷 TMJ Part 3 with Dr. Katey Soenksen

Head and neck posture play a big role in how your jaw moves and functions. In this part, Dr. Katey walks through a simple exercise to improve head posture and support better jaw mechanics.

Small posture changes can help reduce strain on the TMJ, improve movement, and make everyday activities like chewing and talking feel easier.

Stay tuned and save this if jaw tension or posture has been bothering you 💙

Train your glutes with intention, not just weight 🍑💪

These movements are all about building strength, control, and power where it matters most. Focus on slow tempo, good positioning, and actually feeling your glutes do the work. Strong glutes support better lifting, running, posture, and injury prevention.

Save this for your next lower-body day and let us know which one lights up your glutes the most 👀
