Today felt like one of those serendipitous PT days where everything just lines up. ✨

I saw two clients with acute knee pain. One was a high school senior in the heart of her basketball season. The other was an active adult who loves her treadmill runs.

Both reached out worried:
What does this mean for my season?
Will I have to stop working out?
Is this going to get worse?

After chatting with mom on Saturday and scheduling the high school athlete's appointment, I ordered two knee braces ahead of time in two sizes. One ended up fitting her perfectly, and she left today's appointment with her brace and a focused set of exercises to help her keep moving safely (and swiftly!) through this acute phase.

Here’s where the serendipity comes in. ✨
The second brace, the one that did not fit the high school athlete, ended up being the exact size my adult runner (who contacted me this morning for an appointment) needed later in the day. She had tweaked her knee a few days ago and was worried she would have to pause her workouts. That extra brace was a perfect match for her.

Both clients showed signs of meniscal irritation. Nothing surgical. Nothing catastrophic. Both with an excellent prognosis. What they needed was timely assessment, reassurance, movement based strategies, and the right support to keep them active while they heal.

And they got that because they reached out promptly, rather than waiting and hoping it would just go away.

Acute-injury care matters. Early PT matters. Guidance matters. Catching these things quickly does more than calm down pain. It keeps people in their sport, in their routine, and in control of their recovery. 💪🏼

Today was a beautiful reminder of what I am building at PT Squared. Prompt support, individualized care, and a plan that empowers people to keep moving and recover with confidence. 🩵

Week 3 was another fun session! After a warm-up (not shown) for shoulder mobility using dowels and loop bands for 1) shoulder external rotation with scapular retraction and 2) Serratus raises, we got to work with the following circuit (shown in video): 1) supine punches for Serratus, 2) band pull-aparts (horizontal abduction) for the scapular stabilizers (choice for prone on the ball), 3) plank on the BOSU with bubble down to challenge the core and shoulder stability, 4) ball bridges (choice for hamstring curls), and 5) side lying shoulder external rotation with free weight.

I had fun tonight with 4 teenage female swimmers putting in the extra work to improve in some key areas for swimmers: rotator cuff strength, scapular stability, shoulder and thoracic mobility, and core stability. Short video clips show them working on plank walk-outs on the physioball and serratus punches with a band.

with and is not only ok, but it's good! Like anything, training may need to be adjusted for your level of pain, but running is NOT going to hasten the degenerative (aging) process!

CONGRATS to this badass runner client of mine and her husband who ran the Milwaukee Lakefront Half Marathon yesterday and crushed it! This was her 5th half and she got a new PR! 💪🏻

This girl showed resilience and strength as we worked remotely (via my telehealth option as she's in the Milwaukee area) through a cluster of variable and sometimes frustrating symptoms in her right leg which included consistent peroneal tendon pain and intermittent hip/lower back pain with sciatica flares. 🦵😓

Needless to say she crushed her PT plan as she also worked with her run coach's plan to not only get through her race but earn that new PR! 🙌🏼

She'll rest for a bit now post-race, but will get back at her strength training (or what I like to call "resiliency building") to continue improving her body's tolerance to the demands of running ("load demands") so she can continue to enjoy running and reach future goals! (Get after those rearfoot elevated split squats with Soleus raises, right Jessica? 😉👊🏼)

I absolutely love what I do! 🥰 If you're looking to get over a running injury and/or become a more resilient runner, reach out to discuss your needs and how I can meet them! 🩵

No single foot strike pattern is superior! And heel (rearfoot) striking is not wrong!

No single foot strike pattern is superior! In most cases it's best to stick with a runner's habitual strike pattern and focus on other areas when treating injury or enhancing performance.
