Puberty changes strength fast — and not all muscles keep up the same way. 💪

Girls: quads ↑ 45%, hamstrings ↑ 27%
Boys: quads ↑ 148%, hamstrings ↑ 179%

Strong quads protect knees 🦵, hamstrings guide that strength safely. Balanced strength training = safer, more resilient athletes. ⚡

Run smarter. Recover faster.

The AlterG is a body-weight supported treadmill that allows you to walk or run with reduced impact—without altering your natural gait.

By unloading stress from joints and healing tissues, we can:

• Maintain cardiovascular fitness during rehab
• Improve movement quality
• Progress walking or running sooner
• Build confidence safely and intentionally

We use the AlterG for post-surgical rehab, running injuries, joint pain, and return-to-sport progressions—customized to your body and your goals.

Weekly clinical meeting = team brainpower 🔥

This week we dug into a continuing education course on anterior knee pain—tons of gems we’re already applying to better serve our patients. These meetings aren’t just about knowledge; they’re about collaboration. We talk through cases, share wins and struggles, and learn from each other so that no one’s treating in a silo.

📸 Featuring our full physical therapy team (6 PTs + 1 awesome DPT student) and our performance team—Coach Matt and his intern Amanda. We truly have the best team and we’re always striving to be at the top of the clinical education chain, all for the benefit of our clients. 💪

🦴 Why Do Stress Fractures Happen? 🦴

Your bones are constantly breaking down and rebuilding—it’s a normal process! But when overuse outpaces recovery, things go wrong… and that’s when stress fractures occur. 😬

Here’s the cycle:
✅ Stress (like running or jumping) → tiny bone damage
🔨 Osteoclasts (cleanup crew) remove old/damaged bone
🧱 Osteoblasts (builders) rebuild stronger bone
❌ Too much stress + not enough recovery = weak bone & injury

If you don’t give your body time to rebuild, the cleanup crew never stops, and the bone gets weaker instead of stronger—leading to stress fractures!

💡 Key takeaway? Smart training + proper recovery = stronger bones & fewer injuries.

Diastasis recti is the thinning and separation of the tissue that connects the sides of your abdominal wall. It’s often seen in pregnancy but can affect men, babies, and kids.

Signs:
▪️Midline bulge or sinking when engaging core
▪️”Still looking pregnant” months/years post-birth

Who Can Get It?
▪️Pregnant women
▪️Babies, kids (abdominal weakness)
▪️Men (core pressure mismanagement)

Causes:
▪️Growing belly during pregnancy
▪️Poor pressure management (heavy lifting, bad posture)
▪️Abdominal weakness in kids

Healing takes time—breathing, good bracing techniques and looking at the body as a whole is key. Always talk to a health professional for guidance if you’re dealing with diastasis recti. 💪🏻
