We're continuing with our year-end highlights, and this week we’re celebrating one big number that represents thousands of small, meaningful steps forward.

Through the end of October, we facilitated 27,356 visits. That’s 27,356 moments of progress, hard work, trust, and determination. Every visit tells a story, and we never take for granted the privilege of being part of our patients’ journeys.

We’re honored to support this community and can’t wait to continue that work in 2026.

We love getting feedback like this.

We’re grateful for patients who trust us to help fine-tune their movement, whether that’s addressing specific problem areas or building a stronger, safer routine before and after the gym. Creating tailored exercises and stretches is a big part of how we help people move with more confidence and less pain.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for being part of the Axis Sports Medicine community.

Strong shoulders start with a stable foundation, and this exercise is a great example of why that matters.

In this reel, Meredith demonstrates a movement that targets the middle trapezius, a key muscle that helps keep your shoulder blade steady so your arm can move safely and efficiently. When this muscle is doing its job, it supports better posture, smoother overhead movement, and less strain on the neck and shoulders. Focusing on slow, controlled motion and proper alignment is essential to activating it safely and effectively.

These small details make a big difference in building strength, improving control, and reducing strain during everyday movements and workouts. Check out our video collection for more guided exercises and form tips you can use at home or in the gym to keep your body moving well.

We’re continuing our year-end roundup by taking a closer look at one of our favorite parts of 2025: our Wellness Series.

Back in May, 122 attendees joined us across seven educational classes designed to help people move, learn, and feel better in their daily lives. These sessions are all about giving our community tools that build confidence and support long-term wellness, and we’re grateful for every person who participated.

Here’s to even more learning and growth in the year ahead.

In our last video, Meredith showed how to strengthen your rotator cuff with external shoulder rotation by your side. This time, she’s taking it up to shoulder height.

External rotation at 90 degrees is an important progression, especially for anyone who lifts, reaches, or does overhead activities. It helps build control, stability, and strength where your shoulder needs it most.

Here, Meredith demonstrates how to perform the movement with proper form so you can practice it safely and get the most benefit.

As we get closer to the end of the year, we’ve been taking a moment to look back at everything our team and community accomplished in 2025. There’s so much to be proud of, and we wanted to share a few highlights.

One of those things is Axis Ascent. This year, 103 people took on the challenge, showing resilience, dedication, and a willingness to push for new goals. Seeing our community literally and figuratively climb to new heights continues to inspire us every day.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for themselves and for each other. What a way to kick off our year-end reflections!

Winter is almost here, and we’re excited to support VNTRbirds, an organization empowering women in the outdoors through confidence and education.

Their Winter 2026 lineup is packed with avalanche and backcountry courses for every level, whether you're preparing for your first tour or building on existing skills. Highlights include AIARE Level 1 (with multiple sessions and even a hut trip), Avalanche Refreshers, AIARE Level 2, AIARE Rescue, and Backcountry Basics at Eldora and Monarch Pass.

Axis Sports Medicine is proud to stand behind their mission and encourage anyone heading into the backcountry this season to get the skills needed for a safer winter.

When we read testimonials like this, it’s a reminder of why we do what we do.

Hip pain and mobility limitations can feel overwhelming, especially when walking, doing daily movement, or participating in your favorite activities start to feel out of reach. Our therapists take a hands-on, individualized approach to uncover the root cause of the issue and build a plan to help you move with strength and confidence again.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, working through chronic pain, or hoping to avoid surgery, our team is trained to support a wide range of conditions with thoughtful guidance and evidence-based care. We’re here to help you get back to the activities you love!

Before we close out the year, we want to send a big thank you to our clients, staff, and community. You’ve made 2025 a year full of progress, dedication, and movement.

We hit some amazing milestones together: 103 people took on Axis Ascent, 122 attended our Wellness Series in May, and we completed over 27,000 visits by the end of October. From 13,500 lower extremities to 9,000 spines to 7,000 upper extremities treated, every one of those visits represents someone working toward strength and confidence.

We’re grateful for every moment and every story shared with us this year. Here’s to more healing and more wins ahead-- we can't wait to keep supporting you in 2026! 💚

If you're tackling the Black Friday rush today, don’t forget your body feels it too!

Long lines and long walks add up fast, and that’s where recovery techniques like cupping can make a real difference. We’re here to help you stay mobile, comfortable, and ready for the rest of the holiday season.
