🐾 Even when you’re out enjoying a relaxing walk with your furry friend, good posture matters! Keeping your shoulders back, core engaged, and spine aligned helps protect your back from pain — even during low-key activities.

At Movement Specialists PT, we focus on functional movement and posture training so you can enjoy the things you love without discomfort. Small adjustments today can prevent big aches tomorrow! 💪

✅ Reduce pain and swelling
✅ Regain strength and range of motion

🎄💙 A Holiday Message from Dr. Joe

As we wrap up 2025, I want to take a moment to say thank you. I was born and raised right down the street from our Metairie clinic and went to Rummel High School, so serving the Metairie/New Orleans community is something I never take lightly. This year brought a couple of big milestones for our team — we celebrated five years in business and moved into our brand-new facility in Metairie. Both were possible because of your trust and support.

Whether you came to us for recovery, pain relief, or to get back to doing what you love, you’ve allowed us to be part of your health journey. That trust means everything. We’re grateful for every appointment, every conversation, and every bit of progress we’ve shared together.

Movement Specialists exists because of patients like you — people who show up, put in the work, and stay committed to their health. You push us to keep raising the bar on the care we deliver.

As we head into the new year, we’re excited for what’s ahead: new goals, new breakthroughs, and even more ways to help you feel strong, mobile, and confident in your body.

Wishing you and your family a safe, joyful holiday season. We’ll see you in 2026 — ready for a healthier, stronger year together.

Warmly,
Dr. Joe
