✨ CLIENT SPOTLIGHT ✨

This week we’re celebrating another incredible achievement from our awesome client, Mary Lyn! 🎉💪

Mary Lyn recently crushed the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. with an unbelievable PR of 3:14:04 - placing 35th in her age group out of 2,332 runners and finishing in the top 1,000 overall out of more than 30,000! 🤯🔥

If you’ve followed her journey, you know how inspiring this is. When Mary Lyn first came to SWELL earlier this year, she couldn’t run more than a quarter mile without severe hip pain. Fast forward to today - she’s not only running pain-free but thriving at an elite level, stacking up marathon finishes like Boston and now Marine Corps, each one faster and stronger than the last. 🏃‍♀️💨

Mary Lyn, your dedication, consistency, and passion for the sport continue to inspire us and everyone around you. Congratulations on yet another amazing accomplishment - we’re so proud to be part of your journey and continue helping you get even stronger to set new PR’s and stay injury-free! 🙌👏

✨CLIENT SPOTLIGHT✨

This week we’re celebrating our rockstar client Veronica, whose story is the perfect example of what resilience, discipline, and heart can accomplish.

Just over a year ago, Veronica battled through a challenging combination of injuries - a fractured fibula, nerve irritation, and partially torn calf muscles. Most people would have taken that as a sign to slow down, but not Veronica. She fully committed to her rehab, stayed consistent with her exercises, and worked hard to rebuild her strength step by step.

That determination paid off - BIG time. Since her recovery, she’s gone on to complete multiple races, including a 5K, 10K, and 15K with multiple PR’s... and just recently, she crushed her very first half marathon and hit her goal time! 🎉

Even more inspiring, Veronica powered through her half marathon training while dealing with severe GI issues that required surgery just days after her race. Her ability to stay focused and push through adversity shows just how tough and dedicated she truly is!

Veronica, your commitment to becoming stronger, both physically and mentally, inspires everyone around you. We’re so proud of everything you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to help you tackle your next goal !!! 💪🏃‍♀️🔥

“When I first came to physical therapy, I was in pain every day and felt like I’d never get back to running. Dr. Anthony not only helped me heal physically but also gave me hope. Every session was filled with encouragement, patience, and genuine care. There were days I wanted to give up, but my therapist reminded me that progress takes time—and that every small step forward matters.

Today, I can run without pain. But more than that, I’ve gained confidence, strength, and gratitude.“

🌟 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 🌟

This week we’re celebrating Derek! He first came to us for a professional running gait analysis, but during our conversation he mentioned some nagging knee pain that had been holding him back from squatting, running, and jumping for months.🦵

After a quick discussion, we decided to shift our focus and get to the root of his knee issue first. Following a thorough assessment, a spinal manipulation, some targeted dry needling, and one or two key exercises - boom! - his pain was nearly gone.💥

At his next session, we used a little more dry needling to clear up any lingering discomfort and dove into his gait analysis. We worked on a few small tweaks to his form that improved his running efficiency and speed while reducing stress on his knees.

After a month of pain-free training and practicing his new and improved form, Derek crushed a 5K with a PR and placed TOP 10!!! 🙌🎉🏆

In his most recent session, we switched gears again to get him ready for a CrossFit competition - but we’ll save that story for another spotlight.

We’re proud of Derek for trusting the process, putting in the work, and staying consistent with his exercises. Way to go, Derek! 👏

“I was suffering from a nagging knee pain for months but after one session with Swell I felt so much better and was put on a path to normalcy again. Now I’m running 5ks and competing in cross fit comps with little to no issue with my knee! He does great work and really hears you when you’re talking about where the pain is and what is most concerning to you.”

‼️ This week we’re celebrating our rockstar client Ben, who has been training hard for an upcoming marathon and just hit a huge milestone!

When Ben first came to SWELL last month, he was dealing with nagging pain that made training feel more frustrating than fun. But he stayed committed to his goals, trusted the process, and is quickly making big improvements! With hands-on treatments including joint manipulations and dry needling, Dr. Anthony helped get him out of pain so he could train comfortably again. Together, they fine-tuned his running form with a professional gait analysis, built a customized strength and mobility program to address key areas needing some improvement, and even dialed in the right running shoes to optimize performance and comfort. 💪🦵

Fast forward to now - Ben just crushed the Pensacola Half Marathon, setting multiple PR’s along the way! His dedication, consistency, and hard work are paying off big time, and he’s feeling stronger, faster, and more confident as he heads toward his full marathon in January. 🔥

Way to go, Ben! We’re so proud of your progress and can’t wait to keep building and celebrate your marathon finish in a few months! 👏

“SWELL PT dramatically increased my confidence in my ability to train for longer runs. I was in pain and discouraged before I met Dr. Anthony. I’m grateful I did! He’s helped me improve my running form with run gate analysis, healed my shin splints, and adjusted my hips ensuring I crush my next race. Thank you SWELL PT!!!”
