Did you know that certain exercises can effectively protect you from osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is loss of bone mass density. It makes it so your bones fracture more easily, and makes falls very dangerous!

Certain exercises that involve jumping and hopping are proven ways to improve bone mass density. Most people don't realize this is a very effective intervention that requires no medications!

Our osteoporosis program includes several bone strengthening exercises and balance/fall prevention strategies. Call us if you'd like to learn more about keeping your bones strong!

Want to protect your knees and boost your athletic performance? 🦵⚡

Strong legs = safer knees 💪
ACL tears are a common injury we treat at Recover Physical Therapy — but the good news? They're often preventable.
Here are 3 powerful exercises to help prevent ACL injuries and build strength like an athlete:

1️⃣ Weighted Lunges – Go deep, slow, and controlled. Focus on form and balance.
2️⃣ Hamstring Bridge Curls – Slide your heels while holding a glute bridge. Hamstring strength is key for knee stability.
3️⃣ Box Landings – Jump down from a box or chair and stick the landing. Start with both feet, then progress to single-leg landings for more challenge.

✨ Consistency with these can make a huge difference in your performance and injury prevention.

👉 Are you doing any of these in your workouts?

We enjoyed setting up our sports medicine tent and sponsoring the Outlaw Trail Run in the South Hills this weekend. The overcast weather couldn't have been better for running!

We love promoting these types of events that encourage an active lifestyle; did you know that doing 20-30 minutes of walking or jogging a few days a week is one of the most effective ways to avoid common diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, and dementia?

Our clinic specializes in running injuries, and if you have any aches or pains that limit you from getting out and walking or jogging, we have lots of resources to help you get moving again!

Have you ever participated in a trail run? We are sponsoring the Outlaw Trail Run again this year in the South Hills on Saturday, August 9. It's a great way to stay fit and enjoy the beauty of the South Hills, and we will be at the finish line to stretch your muscles and soothe your aches and pains! The race is capped at 200 participants, but there are still a few spots available to sign up!

Our goal, help everyone who desires it to run at least one trail ultra marathon in their lives, the Outlaw is a race that introduces runners to the trail with a shorter distance and easier elevation profile.

It was a big weekend at Recover Physical Therapy! Dr. Patty Pennell flew in from Denver to train and instruct our physical therapists on Trigger point dry needling techniques. We were grateful to host this course and have several other therapists from around Idaho join us.

Dry needling is a treatment where a thin, sterile needle is inserted into tight or painful muscles (trigger points) to help release tension, reduce pain, and improve movement. It's especially helpful for muscle knots, sports injuries, and chronic pain.

It’s quick, targeted, and can make a big difference in your recovery.

Ask us if dry needling is right for you!

Last Saturday we enjoyed a beautiful morning down by Shoshone Falls at the Spirit of the Magic Valley 5K/10K/half marathon. We stretched and massaged the sore muscles of dozens of runners, and they all earned a free coupon to come and have a free session of dry needling at our clinic. The race was sponsored by the Run it Forward Foundation, which supports youth runners in the Magic Valley, and is an organization we love to support!
