Grip strength isn’t just about having a firm handshake — it’s a powerful indicator of overall health and function 💪

In physical therapy, improving grip strength can:

• Support recovery after injury or surgery
• Enhance coordination and daily task performance
• Reduce risk of falls, especially in older adults
• Reflect broader muscular and neurological health
Here at Burch Physical Therapy, we offer a hand rehabilitation department that can help treat grip strength deficits, use devices to measure existing strength levels, improve functional grip strength, and promote benefits of grip strength long term!
From opening jars to carrying groceries, these small movements matter. Stronger hands often mean a stronger, more independent life.

Don’t overlook the basics — sometimes progress starts with a simple squeeze.

🚶‍♂️ What Is the NuStep Machine? 🚶‍♀️

The NuStep is a low-impact cardio machine that provides a safe, effective full-body workout — and it’s a favorite in physical therapy!

Unlike a traditional treadmill or bike, the NuStep allows you to work both your arms and legs at the same time while seated, reducing stress on your joints.

🔎 What is it used for?
✅ Improving cardiovascular endurance
✅ Increasing overall strength
✅ Early-stage rehab after surgery or injury
✅ Helping patients with balance concerns exercise safely
✅ Managing arthritis or joint pain

Because it’s gentle on the knees, hips, and back, the NuStep is great for individuals of all fitness levels — especially those recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or just getting back into exercise.

Our therapists use it to help patients build stamina, improve mobility, and move with confidence again 💙

Have questions about whether the NuStep is right for you? We’re happy to help!

✨ Stretch of the Week: Seated Hamstring Stretch ✨

Tight hamstrings can contribute to low back pain, poor posture, and limited mobility. This simple stretch can help improve flexibility and reduce tension in the back of your legs!

👉 How to do it:
1️⃣ Sit on the edge of a chair with one leg extended straight in front of you, heel on the floor.
2️⃣ Keep your back straight and gently hinge forward at your hips.
3️⃣ Lean forward until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh.
4️⃣ Hold for 20–30 seconds.
5️⃣ Repeat 2–3 times on each leg.

✅ Remember: You should feel a gentle stretch — not pain. Breathe slowly and avoid rounding your back.

Consistent stretching can improve mobility, decrease injury risk, and keep you moving comfortably throughout your day!

Have questions about flexibility or pain? Our team is here to help. 💙

We love soccer season! ⚽💙

Watching kids compete, grow, and build teamwork is what community is all about.

If your athlete is complaining of knee, ankle, or heel pain, don’t ignore it. Growing bodies need proper care — and physical therapy can help them heal and stay active all season long.

Let’s keep our young athletes strong and confident on the field!

Confused about TENS vs. NMES? You’re not alone! ⚡

We often hear patients ask if their TENS unit can help build strength—but these two therapies serve very different purposes. Let’s break it down:

🔹 TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
TENS is designed for pain relief. It works by sending low-level electrical signals that help “block” pain signals to the brain and may stimulate endorphin release.
👉 Best for: managing acute or chronic pain, reducing discomfort during daily activities.

🔹 NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation)
NMES goes deeper—it stimulates the muscles themselves, causing them to contract. This makes it a powerful tool for muscle strengthening and re-education.
👉 Best for: rebuilding strength after injury or surgery, preventing muscle atrophy, improving muscle activation.

Both play an important role in rehab—but they are not interchangeable. Using the right tool for the right goal is essential for the best results.

If you’re unsure which is right for you, we’re here to help guide your recovery every step of the way!
