This one means a lot to me.

Eli had been struggling with shoulder pain for YEARS. He was unable to pitch and play baseball. Believe it or not he had not one, but two negative MRIs and multiple doctors brush off his symptoms.

I kept insisting his labrum was torn based on my exams and how his shoulder presented.

Finally he went to Cincinnati where they did an exploratory scope and sure enough found a labrum tear.

He finally got the surgery he needed, finished up rehab, and is now back to baseball after 3 years!

Congrats to John on getting back to karate, lightsaber fighting, slowpitch softball, and everyday life after a tough battle with Achilles tendinopathy! 🥋⚔️🥎💪

Achilles tendinopathy is a common overuse injury that causes stiffness, pain, and weakness in the tendon connecting the calf to the heel. Recovery takes time and consistency, focusing on progressive loading, mobility, and strength training to rebuild tissue tolerance and function.

John has put in the work, learned how to manage his symptoms, and now knows how to tackle and continue working toward a full recovery — a true testament to dedication and perseverance!

➡️ If Achilles issues are holding you back, guided rehab can help you build strength, resilience, and confidence to get back to the things you love.

Thank you for your google review Carrie!

As Carrie stated, we take a different approach to physical therapy here at Faith in Motion. We are all about challenging our clients because our bodies are not fragile!

Too many medical providers treat humans like were are made of glass.

Congrats to our little dancing queen Ivy on her amazing recovery! 💃✨

Ivy came to us with severe neck, head, and back pain during acrobatic skills like back walkovers — a common issue in young dancers and gymnasts due to high flexibility demands and repetitive spinal loading.

With just 4 focused visits, Ivy worked on improving strength, control, and mobility to better support her spine through these movements. Now she’s back to all her training completely pain free and shining on the dance floor again! 🌟

➡️ If your dancer or gymnast is struggling with pain during skills, early intervention and proper movement training can make all the difference.

Join me in welcoming our new therapist, Delaney to the Faith in Motion team !

Delaney was born in northeastern Colorado and earned her bachelor’s degree in Health and Exercise Science with a Sports Medicine concentration at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. She then went on to attend Marshall University in Huntington, WV to earn her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She met her now-husband while they were both Marshall graduate students, solidifying that West Virginia became home.

She is certified in dry needling and am currently undergoing continuing education to specialize in treating pelvic floor dysfunction.

Outside of the clinic, my main hobbies are all-things creative (namely drawing and painting) and being a homebody with my 3 cats. I also enjoy working out at the gym, hiking, and really any other excuse to be out in nature. I adamantly believe the human body is resilient in recovering from musculoskeletal injury, and am passionate about getting people back to doing what they love.

Scapular dyskinesis is a condition characterized by abnormal movement and positioning of the shoulder blade (scapula). It can cause pain, weakness, and instability in the shoulder.

Scapular dyskinesis can be caused by various factors, including: Muscle imbalances and weakness, Nerve damage, Joint instability, Trauma, and Overuse.

Scapular dyskinesis is a common condition, especially in athletes and people who perform overhead activities. It can be a contributing factor to other shoulder problems, such as rotator cuff injuries. 

Common symptoms of scapular dyskinesis include: 

* Shoulder pain, especially during overhead activities
* Clicking or popping sensations in the shoulder
* Weakness in the shoulder muscles
* Difficulty with arm movements
* Winged scapula (scapula protruding from the back)

The good news? Physical therapy can help!

Congrats to Kim on getting back to the trails and walking pain free after overcoming IT Band Syndrome! 🥾🌿

Iliotibial Band (ITB) Syndrome is one of the most common causes of outer knee pain, especially in runners, hikers, and cyclists. It happens when the thick band of tissue that runs along the outside of the thigh becomes tight or irritated from repetitive motion, muscle imbalances, or poor movement mechanics.

Rehab for ITB syndrome focuses on:
✅ Restoring hip and glute strength
✅ Improving flexibility and mobility through the hips and thighs
✅ Addressing movement patterns that increase stress on the knee

Kim put in the work, stayed consistent, and is now back doing what she loves — pain free!

➡️ If knee pain is keeping you off the trails, we can help you move better, feel better, and get back out there with confidence

Debbie came to me with frozen shoulder after being told by her doctor it was just arthritis and a bone spur....

If you are in the therapy world or ever suffered from frozen shoulder you know how distinctly frozen shoulder feels.

I wouldn't wish frozen shoulder on my worst enemy. Its such a slow rehab process and people develop frozen shoulder often times for no reason.

Thankfully Debbie is back to rocking her OTF classes now!

Thanks Deb!!

Congrats to Jake on his recovery from Osgood-Schlatter disease and return to soccer pain free! ⚽💪

Osgood-Schlatter is a common knee condition in growing athletes caused by irritation at the growth plate where the quadriceps tendon attaches to the shinbone. It often flares up during sports that involve running, jumping, and quick changes of direction — like soccer!

With proper rehab focused on mobility, quad strength, and gradual load progression, athletes can return to sport safely and confidently. Jake put in the work and is now back on the field without pain — a great reminder that growth-related pain doesn’t have to sideline you for long when addressed the right way.

➡️ If your young athlete is battling knee pain, we can help them recover and keep playing strong!

Meet Carrie !

Carrie came to us with knee pain and a meniscus injury but she was trying to avoid surgery.

Initially she had pretty substantial swelling and joint stiffness.

At discharge she was feeling great, back to activity and hadn’t been bothered by her knee in a long time.

Remember, you don’t always have to have surgery with a meniscus injury!
