Have you ever heard the saying, "motion is lotion?" That's especially true when it comes to your spinal disc health.

In a recent editorial in the British Journal of Sports Medicine it was stated that "because discs don’t have a direct blood supply, they rely on regular compression and decompression to move fluid, nutrients, and waste in and out of the tissue."

How does that compression and decompression occur? MOTION.

Discs are not so delicate a structure they need to be protected FROM movement. They need to BE moved and worked and challenged and - sometimes - often - guided to safe, proper movement patterns in order to remain healthy.

Does this sound like you?

Give us a call today (no prescription required) in order to get started on your journey towards a healthier, strong, more mobile spine.. and then on to all the things you love to do!

We joke about the reason for the basketball hoop. But it’s not a joke at all.

🥳 F I V E years, friends!! Active Recovery is 5 years old today, October 1st. What a great five years it's been, thanks in large part to YOU!

Thank you to everyone who has entrusted their care to us, supported us, and shared your love of Active Recovery with your friends and neighbors. Word of mouth truly is the best marketing tool and you guys have killed it!

We've been blessed to have grown each year in our business, bringing on new employees, making adjustments within our practice, and being involved in the community in various ways. A highlight was certainly being named East Jordan's 2025 Business of the Year - what an honor!!

As you know we've also been blessed to grow our families from four kids in 2020 to almost eight in 2025!! We couldn't have done this WITHOUT our husbands (and hardest working maintenance crew) and the REASON we do this is for our kids. Our children are our greatest gifts and we love to share that with you! If you've ever been a patient here you've heard a funny story or two and we love that we have been able to build this community here with you.

Happy five years, Active Recovery!!
