Meet Samantha Wasem 👋 Assistant Manager | South Fargo

Sam loves getting to know the people who walk through our doors — whether they’re patients starting therapy or members jumping into their fitness routine. Building connections and making people feel at home in our facility is one of her favorite parts of her role.

What makes Sam’s perspective unique is that she understands the Total Balance experience from multiple angles. As both an active gym member and a physical therapy patient herself, she’s able to relate to questions, ease concerns and help guide people through their journey with confidence.

She’s especially passionate about seeing people continue their progress even after therapy ends — watching patients transition into the gym and keep building strength long-term. One thing she wishes more people knew? Physical therapy isn’t just reactive — it can be proactive too. Seeing a PT before injury or surgery often leads to better outcomes and smoother recoveries.

Outside of work, Sam loves spending time with her husband and their 7-month-old son, and you’ll definitely find her on a boat at the lake in the summer.

☕ Go-to-order: Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
🌙 Perfect night in: Reality TV and cozy blanket

Say hi to Sam next time you’re in South Fargo — she’ll make sure you feel right at home.

Protein might be getting all the attention right now… but let’s not forget about fiber.

Over 90% of Americans aren’t hitting their daily fiber goals. Fiber supports gut health, helps manage blood sugar, keeps you feeling full, and plays a role in preventing chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity.

Yes, high-protein swaps can be helpful. But if we’re only focusing on protein and ignoring fiber, we’re missing a key piece of the puzzle.

Follow along for Part 2, where we’ll walk through realistic ways to increase your fiber and explain why it’s such an important piece of balanced nutrition.

You’ve probably felt trigger points, even if you didn’t know the name.

That tender, irritable spot in your muscle that hurts when you touch it… and sometimes sends pain somewhere else? That’s what we’re targeting with dry needling.

But here’s the bigger picture 👇
Trigger points are rarely the only reason pain shows up. That’s why at Total Balance, treatment doesn’t stop (or start) with dry needling only.

We’re looking at the full story behind your symptoms so we can address the root cause, not just the sensitive spot.

If you’re over 40 and you’ve never had back pain… we have questions.😅

Pain doesn't mean you failed your body — and it isn’t automatically a sign that something is “wrong.” As we age, the goal isn’t to avoid movement or live in constant comfort. It’s to keep building capacity.

Sometimes the thing that hurts is also the thing your body needs to practice. Strength and efficiency in movement builds tolerance and confidence. And avoiding everything that feels uncomfortable often makes things worse, not better.

The goal isn’t perfection or zero pain forever — it’s staying capable, resilient and confident in your body for the long haul.

Meet Gabe Zierden 👋 Clinic Manager | Moorhead

Gabe is often the first friendly face you’ll meet when you walk into our Moorhead location. He loves meeting new people every day and helping them get set up for success on their fitness and wellness journeys, whether that means connecting them with the right physical therapist or simply making sure they feel welcomed and heard.

One thing Gabe is especially passionate about is making sure everyone feels like they matter — because great care starts with listening first.

He’s also a big advocate for staying active and the benefits it brings for all individuals. Inactivity is one of the leading contributors to chronic disease, and Gabe’s message is simple: no matter what activity you choose, just get moving.

Outside of work, Gabe enjoys coaching wrestling, hunting, fishing, watching sports and going on long walks with his wife and dog.

💪 Fun fact: he’s a 3x All-American wrestler at Concordia
🍦Biggest weakness: Anything ice cream

Say hi to Gabe next time you’re in Moorhead — you’ll leave feeling supported and motivated!

Before you reach for a snack, try this 30-second reset: 3 breaths. 3 questions. A conscious choice.

Our dietitians call it the 3-Step Mindful Eating Reset — a simple way to pause, check in and respond intentionally instead of reacting out of stress, boredom or habit.

The goal isn’t to “fight” cravings or rely on willpower. It’s to understand what your body actually needs.

Save this for the next time a craving hits.✅ And if you’d like support building a more balanced relationship with food, our dietitians are here to help. Schedule a visit today at TBFargo.com/Dietitian.
