Did you know that March is Lymphedema Awareness Month?

Lymphedema is more than just "swelling." It can impact your range of motion, increase infection risk, and cause a persistent feeling of heaviness in your limbs. The good news? You don’t have to manage it alone.

Our Certified Lymphedema Therapists (CLTs), Laurie Eickhoff and Kelly Peterson, are here to help you regain comfort and mobility through:

Manual treatments to improve lymphatic flow
Professional compression garment fitting
Personalized education and home management

Find Laurie in our Grinnell & Sully clinics.
Find Kelly in our Williamsburg clinic.

Don’t let swelling hold you back. For an appointment with one of our experts, please give us a call at 641-236-4506 or visit https://www.totalrehab-pt.com/appointment

Last week, a few of our Grinnell therapists spent some time connecting with Cranial Technologies from Des Moines and the services they offer for babies with plagiocephaly. Our therapists work with babies even as young as a few weeks old with head preferences or tight muscles - often known as torticollis - which can lead to flattening of the head, known as plagiocephaly.

If you have questions about whether or not your baby would benefit from PT to avoid the need for a helmet or in conjunction with it.

What does "better" look like to you?

At Total Rehab, we’ve realized that "better" isn’t a number on a chart or a specific degree of flexibility. For some, it’s picking up a grandchild without pain. For others, it’s shaving seconds off a marathon PR.

While traditional therapy often stops at clinical benchmarks like reduced inflammation, we believe that’s just the starting line. We’re trading standard protocols for a partnership model, where your lifestyle is our roadmap.

We don't just treat the injury; we fuel the comeback. Let’s define your "better" together.

“I used to run, but now I can't.”

That is what many people have said after injuries derail their running plan. Those were even the words of Total Rehab Physical Therapist Jon Duke, PT, DPT 2 years ago when injury kept him from running and cycling. Jon made a decision to re-engineer his fitness and use evidence based physical therapy and training principles to successfully return to running. Jon is now achieving all-time personal bests including breaking the Masters Division record in the Des Moines Spring 4 Mile race and winning the Red Flannel Run 5k.

If injuries are keeping you from achieving your running goals, come to the skilled rehab professionals at Total Rehab to get back on track.
