What sets Motion Activated PT apart?

I truly care about you as an individual and what you have going on outside of PT. I take the time to get to know you and your lifestyle, what motivates you, what frustrates you.

I treat the whole person, not just your injury. We'll just keep chasing the pain if we don't address your nutrition, sleep, and stress.

If you want a PT who truly cares about you as a person, this is your sign to schedule your appointment today.

Here's one thing you need to know about your running mileage...

Too much, too fast, puts you at risk for injury. Follow these general rules to help reduce your risk of injury:

1. Don't increase your mileage by more than 10% a week
2. Keep your total weekly miles under 40, unless you're an ultra runner
3. Build in 2 rest days a week

If you need help building a strong running plan to decrease your risk of injury, schedule a free consultation today and let's chat!

Here's the difference between actually analyzing someone's running form and just watching them run.

Did you know at Motion Activated PT, we have video analysis equipment that we use to be able to slow down and capture real time data and faults?

A lot of small faults are hard to catch just by watching someone run with the naked eye, but can make a huge difference when it comes to your running.

We are able to record you running and go over the results with you during your appointment so you can see changes you might need to make in order to make your training smoother and more pain free.

If you are a runner and are experiencing pain with running, schedule a video analysis today to start your training off on a good foot this season!

Here's a quick glimpse of a session working with a client with shoulder pain and weakness early on in her rehab.

We started with some upper back mobility and then shoulder stability. The kettlebell arm bar is one of my favorite exercises to give to someone to work on shoulder stability early on!

Do you have shoulder pain or limited overhead mobility and don't know where to start? Call today to schedule your free consultation to see how PT can help!

"If You Are This Old" Part 2

Do remember these growing up? I can still remember my CDs skipping on the bus from all the bouncing. And it was always a good day when the teacher broke out the TV cart!

So what hurts? Back? Neck?

Time to get scheduled for that PT appointment and get that taken care of!

Runners, weight lifters, and active adults-- how many times have you gone to your doctor, PT, chiro, etc with a pain or injury and you were told to just rest or stop the activity that hurts?

Rarely is "just rest" the solution. It can actually hinder you recovery process. Modified, controlled movement is better for you and can actually improve your recovery!

If you've ever been told to just rest or stop the activity and you want a better solution to actually recover and move forward, schedule your free consultation today!

Then and Now...

2012 --> 2025/2026

There's maybe only a 5 lb difference between the pictures on the left and right, but it looks like more.

What's the biggest difference? Strength training.

2012: I was working out 3-5 days a week. But, it was mostly cardio and lighter weights. I was still considered fit.

2025/2026: Working out less (3 kids later) but focusing more on lifting--heavier weights!

I don't post this to show a transformation. I post this to show that the same weight can look very different depending on how you're training. I don't weigh less now on the scale, but I have less body fat, more muscle mass, and less visceral fat.

Women--- you can lift heavy and not get bulky! I'll say it again-- you can (and should) be lifting more than those 15 # dumbbells for your health and longevity.

I can...
Squat: 200 #
Deadlift: 245 #
Clean: 135 #
And still not be bulky

Cardio is great, but strength training is even better.

If you don't know where to start? Message me! I'd love to help you gain the confidence to get started!

Check out this latest article for runners!

Stretching alone does not prevent running injuries. Tissue capacity, strength, mechanics, and smart training progressions matter far more.

This is your reminder that showing up for yourself matters!

Whether it's moving your body intentionally or self care through physical therapy and recovery, it's all important.

P.S.: you don't have to wait until you're "broken" to get PT. Regular maintenance and recovery does wonders for your training!
