❄️ Why does pain feel worse in cold weather?

If your joints feel stiffer or your aches flare up when the temperature drops—you’re not imagining it.

Cold weather can:
• Tighten muscles and connective tissue
• Reduce circulation to joints
• Make us move less (hello, couch season 😅)
• Increase stiffness first thing in the morning

👉 Cold doesn’t cause pain—but it often exposes areas that aren’t moving or healing well.

The good news?
✔️ Gentle movement
✔️ Staying warm
✔️ Addressing the root cause (not just stretching it away)

Winter doesn’t have to mean hurting all season long. If pain is limiting your daily life, getting evaluated early can make a big difference.

Let us help make you feel better and move easier!

Let’s Talk About Osteoporosis.....

Osteoporosis affects millions of adults—often silently—by weakening bones and increasing the risk of fractures. But the good news? There’s so much you can do to protect your bone health.

🦴 What Is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose density and become more fragile. It’s most common as we age, but lifestyle factors also play a role.

💪 How Physical Therapy Helps:
We can guide you through safe, effective exercises that support bone strength and reduce fall risk, including:
• Weight-bearing exercises
• Balance and posture training
• Resistance and strengthening programs
• Education on safe movement and daily activities

🥦 Healthy Habits That Make a Difference:
• Get enough calcium & vitamin D
• Stay active with weight-bearing movement
• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol
• Keep up with regular bone density screenings

🎉Today we celebrate ONE YEAR for Pathway Physical Therapy! 🎉

One year ago we took a huge leap of faith and opened our doors to the unknown.
We left what was comfortable and safe to us - to eagerly want more. We wanted more for ourselves, for our families, and for our community.

We are so grateful for every patient who has trusted us, every referral partner who’s supported us, and every friend and family member who’s cheered us on.

To celebrate with that….
🎉October is National Physical Therapy Month! 🎉

We are so fortunate to know and have worked with incredible PT/PTAs in our years of being in this profession.
Today we celebrate all the ways physical therapy helps patients move better, feel stronger, and reach their goals.

🫶🏼🫶🏼To our incredible patients, supporters, and family - THANK YOU 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us and making this first year such a success.
Here’s to many more years of helping our community move towards better health!
