This weekend is a great time to take advantage the weather before the chill returns!
Slow down, breathe deep, and give your body a little extra care after the busy holiday stretch. A gentle walk, some light stretching, or simply resting well can help you reset and recharge.
We hope your weekend is restful, refreshing, and full of simple joys. 💙

🎄💚 Even the Grinch couldn’t resist the Gina V spirit… 💚🎄
When the Grinch arrived, his heart was two sizes too small. But after a little movement, a lot of smiles, and the warm welcome from our Gina V PT family, something magical happened.
By the time he left, his heart had grown three sizes larger. ❤️❤️❤️
Turns out, kindness, laughter, and a supportive community can change anyone.

🎄 Gina’s making her list… and checking it twice. ✔️✔️
From treatment plans and progress notes, to cheering on patients and making sure everyone feels supported, she’s always thinking ahead and looking out for all of us, and all of you!
We hope your lists are growing shorter as Christmas get closer! 🎄

The best part of what we do isn’t the equipment, the exercises, or the treatment plans ... it’s YOU. 💙

Thank you for letting us be part of your journey.

If Santa could bring you one gift this year, which would you choose?
✨ Less pain
✨ Better strength
✨ Improved mobility
One of the best parts of Physical Therapy is that we don’t make you choose ...we help you work toward all three!
But just for fun… which one tops your wishlist this season? Drop your answer in the comments. 🎄🎁

Small needles (trust us) ... big relief!
When tight muscles, lingering pain, or stubborn trigger points keep slowing you down, Functional Dry Needling can help unlock movement again.
By targeting deep tension, this technique improves mobility, reduces inflammation, and supports faster recovery, especially when paired with personalized physical therapy.
At Gina V PT, we use dry needling as one of many tools to help you feel stronger, move better, and get back to the things you love.
If you’ve been curious about dry needling, we’re happy to talk through how it works and whether it’s right for you.

💙 Full-circle moments like this absolutely fill our hearts!
A few summers ago, Gina welcomed Jax, a 15-year-old student, into the clinic to learn, observe, and dream.
Today, he’s graduating college with his bachelor’s in Exercise Science, and has officially been accepted into PT school! 🎉
His mom shared that stepping into this clinic as a teenager helped solidify the dream he’s had since 8th grade. That’s the power of mentorship, encouragement, and letting young people see what’s possible.
Jax, we are so proud of you and can’t wait to see the incredible PT you’ll become. Congratulations on this amazing milestone! 🎓👏

From sudden pulls to lingering tightness, calf injuries are common in runners, athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone who moves quickly on their feet. When that muscle strains, even simple steps can feel like a challenge.

✅ Reduce pain and inflammation
✅ Restore flexibility and strength
✅ Improve mobility and gait
✅ Prevent re-injury with proper mechanics
A healthy calf is key to a strong, confident stride. If pain is slowing you down, we’re here to help you move forward again. 💙

Progress without Compromise
Our clinic, created and ran by Gina Vanderheiden, DPT, ACT, was built in Papillion, Nebraska so she and her professionals can work in the community in which she lives. Our location allows us to have a “small town feel” while deploying the latest in proven innovations.
To this end, Gina is also one of the few physical therapists in the metro area that is certified to perform Functional Dry Needling® (FDN); FDN is an innovative new treatment that focuses on certain trigger points in the body that will help relieve acute and chronic pain, and help accelerate an individual’s rehabilitation.
Please contact us today and see if our approach to your rehabilitation is the right choice for you.
