Hip pain keeping you from doing the things you love? We know that physical therapy is effective for reducing discomfort and restoring mobility, but did you know that massage therapy can also make a big difference in your recovery?

When you're dealing with hip pain, your body naturally tightens the surrounding muscles to protect the injured area. This is called muscle guarding. While it's a protective reflex, chronic tightness actually limits your movement and makes pain worse over time.

How massage therapy helps:
• Reduces protective spasms and releases trigger points in your hips, glutes, and lower back
• Improves circulation to deliver healing oxygen and nutrients while clearing out metabolic waste
• Releases tight fascia and adhesions that restrict movement
• Activates your nervous system's relaxation response, helping your body let go of chronic bracing

Why this matters for your recovery:

Once your muscles relax, you can move through a fuller, more comfortable range of motion. Exercises become easier and more effective because your body isn't fighting against itself. You'll recruit the right stabilizing muscles, build strength without compensation, and regain confidence in your movement.

The best part? Massage and exercise work together. Soft tissue work prepares your body so that strengthening and mobility exercises feel smoother, safer, and less painful.

At Back in Motion, we use a multidisciplinary approach, combining the skills and expertise of Chiropractic Physicians, Licensed Physical Therapists, Licensed Massage Therapists, and Acupuncturists to provide you with the absolute best care in all of McHenry County!

Movement is one of the simplest and most powerful forms of medicine we have. Whether it's a morning walk or building strength through resistance training, every bit of activity supports your body and mind in profound ways.

The Physical Benefits

Regular movement strengthens your heart, improves circulation, and reduces your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. It also lowers the chances of developing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.

Movement helps manage weight by burning calories and regulating metabolism. It strengthens bones and joints through weight-bearing activities, reducing your risk of falls, fractures, and injuries.

The Mental and Emotional Benefits

Movement does more than tone muscles. It releases endorphins that naturally boost your mood and ease symptoms of depression and anxiety. It calms your nervous system, helping you manage stress and think more clearly.

Regular activity also improves sleep quality, sharpens focus, boosts memory, and enhances brain function. And perhaps surprisingly, moving your body is one of the best remedies for low energy, helping you feel more awake and alert.

We're Here to Help You Move Better

At Back in Motion Physical Therapy and Spine Center, we're movement specialists dedicated to keeping you active, mobile, and pain-free. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to feel your best, our personalized care is designed to support your unique health journey.

We offer chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, and acupuncture to help you move with confidence and live without limits.

The scale is just one data point, not the whole story.

That number? It doesn't measure the strength you've built, the healthy habits you've created, the confidence you're gaining, the relationship with food you're healing, the energy that carries you through your day, or the mindset shifts that change everything.

Progress isn't always about the pounds. It's about becoming the strongest, healthiest, most vibrant version of yourself from the inside out.

If you need to lose weight, SHAPE ReClaimed could be your answer. It's a holistic reset for your metabolism, your immune system, and your relationship with food. At Back in Motion, we look deeper than "eat less, move more." Our SHAPE wellness program is practitioner-guided and designed to support your body with a personalized plan, simple nutrition structure, and check-ins to help you adjust as your body changes.

We believe in celebrating non-scale victories like improved energy, better sleep, reduced inflammation, clearer thinking, and the ability to move through your day with less pain and more joy. These are the markers of true health transformation.

If you're ready to stop focusing solely on the scale and start investing in long-term wellness that addresses the root cause, we're here to guide you every step of the way.

Keep showing up. Keep trusting the process. The scale won't tell you how awesome you are, but YOU know. 💪

If climbing stairs has become challenging, sitting for long periods causes deep discomfort, or you've noticed stiffness in your hip that just won't go away, you're not alone. Hip pain is very common, and it can quietly chip away at your quality of life.

The good news? Physical therapy offers a proven, non-invasive path to relief.

What Physical Therapy Can Do For Your Hip Pain

Research shows that physical therapy can reduce hip pain by up to 68% within 12 weeks. Whether you're dealing with arthritis, bursitis, muscle strains, or labral tears, a targeted approach can make all the difference.

Our physical therapists take time to identify the root cause of your pain through thorough evaluation. Then we create a personalized plan that reduces inflammation, restores mobility, builds strength in supporting muscles, and gives you tools to prevent future issues.

When Should You Seek Help?

Many people wait too long, hoping the pain will resolve on its own. But early intervention (within 2-4 weeks of pain onset) tends to be most effective.

Consider scheduling an appointment if:

• Your pain has lasted more than a few weeks despite rest
• You're changing how you walk, sit, or climb stairs to avoid discomfort
• Hip pain is disrupting your sleep or daily activities
• You notice decreased range of motion
• You've had a fall or injury to the hip area
• Pain radiates down your leg
• Over-the-counter pain relievers aren't helping

You deserve to move freely and live without constant discomfort. Let's work together to get you back to doing what you love.

The foundation of true wellness is built on the small, consistent choices we make for ourselves every day. When we give our bodies the right kind of nourishment, beyond just food, we are rewarded with greater energy, mental clarity, and physical strength.

This weekend, consider which of these core pillars could use a little extra attention in your routine:

• Focus on whole foods that fuel repair and vitality. Prioritize colorful fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains to give your body the essential vitamins and minerals it needs to thrive.

• Stay hydrated throughout the day. Proper water intake is fundamental for energy, clear thinking, and supporting every physical process.

• Prioritize deep, restorative sleep. This is when your body undertakes its most important repair work, crucial for both physical recovery and mental well-being.

• Incorporate mindful movement. Regular, appropriate activity builds strength, improves circulation, and naturally elevates your mood.

• Actively manage stress. Finding healthy outlets, whether through mindfulness, gentle exercise, or a beloved hobby, protects your body's resources.

Remember, your journey toward a pain-free, active life is supported here. If discomfort or stiffness makes these healthy habits feel out of reach, our team is dedicated to helping you restore your functional movement and natural resilience.

Let this be your gentle reminder to listen to your body and nourish it well. We wish you a peaceful and rejuvenating weekend.

Does insurance cover chiropractic care and physical therapy?

Often, yes. Coverage can differ by plan and by service, so the fastest way to get a clear answer is to verify your benefits.

At Back in Motion, we keep it simple. We accept prescriptions from any physician for physical therapy. Most insurance plans do not require a referral for physical therapy, except Medicare. Chiropractic care does not need a referral for any plans, including Medicare.

If you are not sure what your plan covers for chiropractic, physical therapy, or other services we provide, call us. Our team can verify your benefits and walk you through your coverage before you start care.

Your Surgery Was Step One. Recovery Begins Here.

Joint replacement surgery is a major milestone—but it’s not the finish line.

The true measure of success lies in how well you regain strength, mobility, and confidence in your daily life. And that’s where post-surgical physical therapy makes all the difference.

Research shows that patients who actively participate in physical therapy after joint replacement experience 40–60% better outcomes than those who don’t. That’s because healing isn’t just physical—it’s functional.

Why Physical Therapy Matters Most After Surgery:
• Early Movement Prevents Setbacks: Starting PT within 24–48 hours can reduce stiffness, prevent blood clots, and ease your body into working with its new joint mechanics.
• Healing Happens with Guidance: The first 6–12 weeks are crucial. With the right exercises, your tissues heal in proper alignment—reducing risk of scar tissue and long-term pain.
• Your Brain Needs Training Too: Your nervous system must relearn how to move with a new joint. That neuromuscular “reprogramming” is only possible through structured, repetitive movement.
• Avoiding Compensation: Without therapy, your body often overprotects the surgical area—causing pain in other joints or muscles. We help you move smarter, not harder.

At Back in Motion, we tailor each recovery plan to your needs, schedule, and goals—so your new joint doesn’t just heal, it thrives.

Are you dealing with dizziness or vertigo?

That spinning sensation can make even simple things like turning your head, getting out of bed, or moving through your day feel unsteady and overwhelming. It often comes with nausea, balance challenges, blurry vision, or ringing in the ears, leaving you searching for real answers and relief.

At Back in Motion Physical Therapy and Spine Center, we understand how disruptive vertigo can be to your life and your sense of security. Many cases stem from issues in the neck or spine, such as misalignments that interfere with nerve signals to the brain, past injuries, reduced blood flow, or tension that affects balance.

Chiropractic care offers a gentle, non-invasive path to address these root causes. We begin with a thorough evaluation to pinpoint what's contributing to your symptoms, then use precise, safe adjustments to help restore proper nervous system function. For many patients, this approach brings lasting stability and freedom from vertigo without relying on medications or more invasive options.

Learn more about vertigo, its causes, and our treatment approach here: www.backinmotionspringgrove.com/vertigo

Don’t let vertigo hold you back any longer. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward feeling steady and well again.

We often discuss inflammation, but what exactly is it? And what does it have to do with weight loss?

In its healthy form, inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury or illness. But when it sticks around longer than needed, it becomes chronic, and that’s when it starts to interfere with how your body feels, functions, and even holds onto weight.

Chronic inflammation has been linked to many long-term health issues like diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and heart disease. It can also quietly contribute to unwanted weight gain, fatigue, joint stiffness, and difficulty losing weight—no matter how hard you try.

That’s why reducing chronic inflammation is the number one benefit of the SHAPE ReClaimed program. As inflammation decreases, the body begins to heal. Many participants notice improved energy, better mobility, less pain, and yes, easier and more sustainable weight loss.

Here’s how it works:

The SHAPE ReClaimed program uses a gentle, practitioner-guided detox to help your body release toxins that fuel inflammation and weight retention. With the support of Dr. Kwapisinski, your program is personalized to your goals. There is no one-size-fits-all plan.

This isn’t a fad diet. It’s a holistic reset for your metabolism, your immune system, and your relationship with food.

Let this be the year you reclaim your health, reduce inflammation, and feel more at home in your body—naturally.

This Friday’s quote: “Natural healing is about taking control of your life and being responsible for everything that goes in and out of your body, mind, and spirit.” - Richard Schulze

Healing is not passive. It is a daily choice to participate in your own well being.

What you eat, how you move, what you allow into your mind, and the boundaries you keep all shape your internal environment. When we choose awareness instead of autopilot, nourishment instead of numbing, and alignment instead of avoidance, the body has more room to do what it was designed to do: heal.

At Back in Motion Physical Therapy and Spine Center, we support natural healing through patient centered care, functional movement rehab, and gentle chiropractic solutions that help your body move better and feel safer in motion. If you are dealing with nagging pain, stiffness, or stress that is showing up in your body, you do not have to push through it alone. Small consistent steps add up, and we are here to guide you.

Have you ever wondered why most diets fail?

If you’ve tried plan after plan and still feel stuck, it’s not because you lack willpower. Many diets are built like one-size-fits-all shortcuts, and real bodies do not work that way. Here are five common reasons people hit a wall:

1. Bio-individuality
Your metabolism, stress load, digestion, hormones, and lifestyle are unique. What works for someone else may not work for you.

2. Starvation mode
When calories drop too low or workouts ramp up too fast, your body can shift into “protect and conserve,” slowing progress and setting you up for rebound weight.

3. Nutritional deficiencies
Eating less is not the same as eating better. If your body is missing key nutrients, energy, recovery, and cravings often suffer.

4. Food sensitivities and inflammation
Some foods can quietly trigger bloating, water retention, joint discomfort, fatigue, or brain fog, making it harder to feel and look your best.

5. Metabolic imbalances
Issues like insulin resistance, thyroid stress, adrenal strain, PCOS, or yeast overgrowth can make weight loss feel impossible even when you’re trying hard.

At Back in Motion, we look deeper than “eat less, move more.” Our SHAPE wellness program is practitioner-guided and designed to support your body with a personalized plan, simple nutrition structure, and check-ins to help you adjust as your body changes.

If you’re ready for a smarter approach that feels supportive, not punishing, we’re here.
