Check out our latest blog: Gratitude for Movement: How Thankfulness Impacts Healing and Recovery
By: Matt Melotte, Physical Therapist, PT, DPT, CMTPT in De Pere
*
November is a time to pause and give thanks—and one of the greatest things we can be grateful for is the ability to move. Whether it’s walking with family after Thanksgiving dinner, playing with your kids, or simply taking a deep, pain-free breath, movement fuels independence, health, and happiness.
*
At Orthopedic & Spine Therapy, we see every day how gratitude and movement go hand in hand. Research shows that practicing thankfulness can lower stress, improve sleep, and even reduce the perception of pain. In physical therapy, patients who focus on progress—rather than frustration—often recover faster and feel more in control of their journey.

🍁 Wellness Wednesday Tip
“Do One Thing Today That Brings You Joy.”
Wellness isn’t just about exercise and nutrition — it’s also about doing things that refill your cup. When you intentionally add small moments of joy into your day, your body actually responds with lower stress, better mood, and improved overall well-being.
✨ Take 5 minutes today to:
• Step outside and enjoy the fall air
• Listen to your favorite song
• Make a warm drink you love
• Call someone who makes you laugh
• Read a few pages of a good book
Tiny moments of joy can make a big difference in how you feel — mentally and physically.

Check out our latest blog: Nourishing Your Gut: How Nutrition Supports Physical Therapy
By: Kimberley Kessenich, Physical Therapist, PT, DPT, CMTPT
*
When it comes to healing the body, physical therapy and nutrition go hand in hand—especially when it comes to gut health. A healthy gut can improve inflammation, immunity, energy levels, and even tissue recovery—all key components of physical therapy outcomes.
*
Why Gut Health Matters
• Your gut is more than just a digestive system—it's a major player in overall wellness. Poor gut health can lead to chronic inflammation, fatigue, and a weakened immune system, all of which can interfere with healing and physical performance. Supporting the gut through proper nutrition helps your body respond more effectively to physical therapy and rehabilitation.
