This patient is suffering from scapular pain and bicep tendinitis after a rotator cuff repair. We decided to take a “stab” at it with dry needling! 😏💉
After a rotator cuff repair, muscles around the shoulder blade and biceps tendon often become overworked, tight, or protective, leading to lingering scapular pain and bicipital tendinitis 😤

Dry needling helps by:
�🔹Releasing tight trigger points in overactive shoulder and scapular muscles�
🔹 Improving local blood flow to irritated tissues�
🔹Reducing muscle guarding that places excess stress on the biceps tendon�
🔹Restoring normal muscle activation and movement patterns

When combined with targeted strengthening and mobility work, dry needling can help calm pain, improve motion, and support a smoother recovery—so patients can progress with confidence 💪. As always, dry needling is just one tool we use as part of a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan.

Once you sprain your ankle, the ligaments and surrounding tissues often become looser and weaker, reducing the joint’s natural stability🦶. Without proper rehab, the ankle never fully regains its strength, balance, or coordination — making it MUCH easier to roll again😟.
Physical therapy helps break the cycle by rebuilding:
✔️ Strength in the ankle & lower leg
✔️ Balance & proprioception (your body’s ability to know where your foot is)
✔️ Stability to protect the joint
✔️ Movement patterns that prevent future injuries
If your ankle “just gives out” or keeps rolling, you don’t have to live with it. We can help you feel confident on your feet again ⛹🏋

As we age, we don’t just get older—we lose muscle. Starting around age 30, adults lose 3–8% of their muscle mass every decade, and that decline speeds up after 60 📉This natural process, called sarcopenia, affects everything from strength and balance to metabolism and joint health.
Less muscle doesn’t just mean “weaker.”
It means:
🔻slower calorie burn
🔻higher injury + fall risk
🔻increased joint pain
🔻reduced mobility
🔻lower energy levels
The good news? 😃📣
👉🏻Muscle loss is not inevitable—and physical therapy is one of the most effective ways to fight it. Through targeted strength work, mobility training, and personalized exercise prescriptions, PT helps rebuild strength, improve balance, and keep your body functioning at its highest level at every age.
If you’re noticing more weakness, fatigue, or aches than you used to… it may be time to strengthen, not slow down. 💪

McConnell taping 🩹 is an excellent therapeutic taping technique that we commonly use to help manage patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) and other issues related to patellar maltracking.
This rigid tape gives extra support, reduces irritation, and helps your muscles relearn the right movement pattern. Temporary tape ➜ long-term relief paired with the right exercises 🏋️The tape provides stability to the kneecap while allowing you to exercise and strengthen the surrounding muscles pain-free, so that the kneecap can ultimately become realigned.
