🏆 Big win for our Clinton Township team
We’re proud to share that our Macomb/Clinton Township location has been named Best Physical Therapist in Clinton Township for 2026!

And honestly, this one means a lot, it reflects what happens inside our clinic every single day.

Patients showing up and putting in the work, therapists pushing, guiding & supporting every step forward

Looks simple… until you try it 👀

In our Concentrated Stroke Rehab program, Andrew is working through a dual task challenge keeping a balloon up while stacking cones at the table.

Simple in theory, but it requires continuous movement, quick reactions, and staying engaged the entire time.

🎯 In this session:
🔹 Coordinating upper extremity movement + timing
🔹 Dividing attention between two tasks
🔹 Improving reaction time & motor planning
🔹 Building standing tolerance & dynamic balance
🔹 Movement under pressure

🧠 Why this matters:
Real life = multitasking.
Training both at once is what makes it stick.

❤️If you or a loved one is affected by stroke, our 2 week intensive Concentrated Stroke Rehab program is designed to challenge & maximize your recovery through individualized, multidisciplinary care.

Getting back to the moments that matter most 💛

For Illyssa, that means doing the things she loves alongside her husband with more independence & confidence.

In today’s session, she’s working through a dual-task challenge in kneeling:

🔹 Scanning for the lit up BlazePod
🔹 Finding the matching colored scarf
🔹 Self toss & catch then tapping to reset

🧠 What we’re targeting:
✔️ Dual-tasking
✔️ Visual scanning & attention
✔️ Coordination & reaction time
✔️ Use of her affected hand
✔️ Postural control

All of this builds toward getting back to life with her husband. Progress here means more freedom outside of the clinic.

Helping her feel more capable & confident in the moments that matter most! ❤️

Nice work, Ilyssa! 👏

💥From Polly Swingle, PT, GCS, CEEAA
CEO & Co-Owner of TRP:

After 39 years as a PT, here’s what I know for sure:
Menopause is NOT the beginning of becoming weaker, smaller, and less capable.

That image of the frail, hunched-over woman with a walker? That’s NOT your destiny.
But here’s the shift: Strength has to become INTENTIONAL, not automatic.

Your hormones are changing. Your body is asking to be used differently. And when you educate yourself and train with purpose, you don’t have to fear this phase—you can AGE WITH GRACE and power.

I sat down with my friend on the EmpowerHer Wellness Podcast to talk about exactly how to do this.

We’re breaking down:
✅ Why menopause doesn’t mean decline
✅ How strength training protects your body
✅ The tools you need to thrive in this phase (not just survive)

This conversation is for every woman who’s been told “that’s just what happens when you get older.”
No. Not anymore.

Let’s rewrite the story of what aging looks like for women. Who’s with me? 👇

❤️ Some of the most important words we practice in speech therapy are the ones shared with family.

After experiencing aphasia, she’s working with our speech therapy team to strengthen her verbal expression, word finding & sentence formation.

📖In this session, Josephine is practicing reading a book to her grandson, building the communication skills she wants to use with her family every day.

🧠 What we’re working on
🔹 Word finding & naming
🔹 Building clear sentences
🔹 Using pauses to organize thoughts
🔹 Reading comprehension
🔹 Practicing language through everyday activities

One of Josephine’s biggest motivations? Her grandchildren. With triplets in the family, it gives her plenty of little listeners to read to. 🥰

Therapy like this helps turn practice in the clinic into meaningful conversations, stories & meaningful moments shared at home.

👩‍🏫 From clinic to classroom.

Always learning & always sharing! 🧠

Our PT Kayla recently visited Oakland University to speak with students about vestibular rehab & the evaluation/treatment of common vestibular conditions.

😵‍💫 During the session, students learned how to assess BPPV and other vestibular disorders, including hands-on practice with oculomotor screening & clinical testing used to identify sources of dizziness & balance impairment.

Opportunities like this allow clinicians to share real-world experience while helping prepare the next generation of therapists to confidently evaluate & treat vestibular conditions.

We love seeing our team contributing to the education of future clinicians & advancing the field of neurologic rehabilitation! 🤓

A little St. Patrick’s Day fun in speech therapy ☘️

Our clients took a break from their speech exercises to share some classic St. Patty’s Day jokes. Turns out a little laughter is good for the brain too, helping support speech, memory & social connection.

We’re feeling pretty lucky to spend our day laughing and learning together. Maybe the real pot of gold is good company and a few great jokes 🌈

This session led to something exciting!

🏈Jim is working through right-sided hemiparesis after a traumatic brain injury he sustained playing football in high school. Years later, he’s still showing up and putting in the work.

He used to run regularly at the gym, but changes in balance and confidence made that feel out of reach for a while.

In this session we’re layering strength, balance & movement challenges to prepare for higher-level activity.

🔹Hurdle stepping forward & backward for coordination/balance

🔹Split-stance lunges for single-leg strength

🔹Tall kneeling hip drive with resistance & overhead reach

🔹Quick side stepping for lateral stability

🔹 Forward & backward walking control

All building up towards something Jim was really pumped about - jogging again!

Congratulations Jim on taking the steps to get back to the things that bring you joy, we’re here every step of the way!

From treating patients… to being one. And now almost back to full speed!

🦵After undergoing a patellofemoral arthroplasty + tibial tubercle osteotomy, our OT Gabby has been putting in the work to rebuild strength & stability in her knee.

As she nears the end of her rehab journey, sessions are focused on higher-level strength & plyometric training to prepare her body for the demands of daily living.

💥 What she’s working on:

🔹 Band-assisted plyometrics to reintroduce jumping with reduced impact

🔹 Step-off landings to train controlled single-leg force absorption

🔹 Single-leg RDLs with ball transfers to challenge balance & dynamic control

🔹 Single-leg squats on the Total Gym for progressive strength

Rehab isn’t just about healing. It’s about getting back to the things that make you feel like yourself again & for Gabby, that’s dancing! 💃

Great work Gabby & Happy Birthday! 🥳🎉

Supporting the fight against Multiple Sclerosis today and every day. 🧡

MS affects millions of people worldwide, impacting movement, balance, energy, cognition & so many other aspects of daily life. This week we wore orange to help raise awareness, show support for those living with MS & continue to stand behind the continued research working toward better treatments. With the ultimate goal of finding a cure for MS!

To everyone navigating life with MS & the families and caregivers alongside them, we see your strength & resilience. 🧡

Keep fighting the good fight!

Snag a yummy orange snack at your next appointment this week. 😊

🤓Always learning so we can keep doing better for the people we serve.

Some of our therapists recently attended the Certified Stroke Rehabilitation Specialist (CSRS) course, an advanced continuing education program focused on evidence-based stroke recovery.

The training dives into evidence-based research & application on topics like:
🧠 Motor recovery and neuroplasticity
🦿 Gait and mobility retraining
💪 Strength and functional task training
⚖️ Balance and fall risk reduction
🎯 Carryover into meaningful daily activities

Opportunities like this help our team stay current, challenge our clinical thinking, and bring new strategies back to the clinic for the individuals we work with every day.
A CSRS course is never complete without including the one & only, JJ Mowder! A familiar face in the neuro rehab community known for sharing practical stroke rehab education online.

If you aren’t already, make sure to give her a follow for great resources & inspiration for neuro rehab!
