Before → After (1 week) | Distal Hamstring Tendon

Clinical case:

A runner came in with posterior knee pain, and based on exam we were confident we were dealing with a distal hamstring tendon irritation/tendinopathy.

We started where good rehab always starts:
✔️ Temporary running modification (not complete shutdown)
✔️ Strategic loading of the tendon

And to be clear, loading ≠ stretching.
We’re talking progressive strength training and stability work to improve tendon capacity.

After one week, symptoms were still present → so we took a deeper look with musculoskeletal ultrasound.

Imaging showed:
• Peritendinous fluid/edema
• Hyperechoic changes consistent with tendon irritation

At that point, we layered in treatment:
✔️ Ultrasound-guided peri-tendinous electrical dry needling
✔️ Continued progressive loading (this part is non-negotiable)

One week later:
• Resolution of surrounding fluid
• Improved tissue echotexture (more organized appearance)
• No active pain
• Gradual return to running underway

This is the part that matters:
This wasn’t “rest and hope it calms down.”

This was:
→ Identifying the tissue
→ Understanding the irritability
→ Applying the right load + targeted intervention

Dry needling isn’t magic, and exercise isn’t optional.
But when you pair the right intervention with the right loading strategy, outcomes can change quickly.

At NextGen, we utilize:
• Diagnostic MSK ultrasound
• Ultrasound-guided interventions
• Dry needling techniques including peri-tendinous electrical stimulation

This allows us to be more precise, objective, and proactive in how we treat.

We don’t wait for things to become chronic. We address them early, and we build tissue that can actually handle demand.

We’ll continue to monitor and progress this case, but this is a great example of what modern, movement-based rehab combined with targeted intervention can do!

If you’re dealing with something that “just won’t go away,” there’s usually a reason—and a better plan. Reach out. We’d love to help!

Today is April Fools’ Day! Here are 8 fitness myths most people still believe…more

03/28/2026

Saturday workouts just hit different 🔥

There’s something about choosing to show up when you don’t feel like it… and finishing anyway. That’s the kind of discipline that actually changes you.

Someone said mid workout, “I don’t want to do this, but I’m too stubborn not to.” That’s exactly the energy and mentality we’re trying to train with.

Big shoutout to this crew for staying late today and getting it done. That’s what discipline looks like. If you’ve been needing a group to keep you accountable and push you a little further, this is your sign!

We’re here:
Monday + Wednesday at 5:00 PM
Saturday at 8:00 AM
More options coming this summer!!!

Come train with us 💪🏼

NO YOGA TONIGHT — stay safe & warm!

✨ Here’s what’s unfolding this week ✨

Every class carries its own rhythm — whether we meet in Webster, Niobrara, or online — but the intention is always the same:
to strengthen the body, steady the breath, and return you to your center.

But Thursday night… is different.

✨ Breath Into Gold: The Sojourn ✨

This is not just a class.
It is a crossing. A remembering. A return.

A space for women —
who have carried too much for too long,
who are ready to soften without collapsing,
who are ready to exhale what no longer belongs to them.

We gather slowly.
We breathe deeply.
We release quietly.
We leave lighter.

If something in you feels called — trust that.

All classes are available online, and some are offered exclusively online.

🔗 Reserve your space:

Come exactly as you are. Always. ✨🤍

That’s healthcare…

Joy.
Fear.
Grief.
Frustration.
Relief.
Gratitude.

Sometimes all before lunch.

Women’s health carries a unique emotional weight. The stories we hear, the moments we witness, and the trust patients place in us never stop being meaningful. 🤍

Help us wish a HUGE Happy Birthday to the woman who started it all—Brenna 🎉

Founder, visionary, therapy nerd, strength advocate, rural healthcare disruptor… and somehow still the one demo-ing Bulgarian split squats with an overly full schedule.

She didn’t just open a clinic, she’s raising the standard. From pelvic health to post-op rehab to heavy lifting for 90-year-olds, Brenna pushes our patients and our profession forward every single day.

Her brain never stops learning. Her barbell never stays light. And her vision for what healthcare can look like in rural communities is what built NextGen from the ground up.

The bar for therapy in our region continues to rise, and we’re just getting started. 💪🏼

Drop a birthday wish below! 🎂🎉
