YOU’VE ASKED, WE’VE LISTENED
Introducing the AstymTherapy Rapid Recovery Program. Many of you have experienced the soft tissue regeneration and rejuvenation effects of the Astym Therapy as part of your Peak Motion treatment program. Continuing with Astym Therapy for maintenance and aftercare is a request we frequently hear. Whether you do CrossFit, run marathons, compete in Triathalons or are just committed to staying fit, Astym Therapy will help you recover faster from your workout. AstymTherapy stimulates nerve firing, increases circulation and cleans out metabolic waste to accelerate soft tissue regeneration and recovery. The AstymTherapy will help take your training to the next level, by boosting your current
training recovery program (proper hydration, nutrition, stretching, massage?, etc.). In just 15 minutes we can cover your lower body or upper body. We recommend 1-2 sessions per week for best results. Call today to schedule an appointment before your next workout to experience the Astym Therapy difference!

“KEEPING IT AWKWARD” JEN’S SUCCESS STORY
“I can sum up my entire experience at Peak Motion in one phrase – Keeping it Awkward. I have been placed in more bendy, twisty, rotation-y, and uncomfortable positions while Mike and Jonathan helped to figure out my ailments. Think of it as a one-person game of Twister, and at the end of the day, you’re the winner. I’m a runner, both long distance and obstacle course training, and I was able to rack up every injury known to mankind. After self-treating for a couple months, because you know, Dr. Google, I finally took a friend’s advice and went to see the team at Peak Motion. In my first conversation with Mike, he asked me if I purposefully waited until I had as many injuries as possible before coming in…I knew right then and there, that this team was going to be great. A healthy balance of hilarity and sass, along with the experienceandmedicalexpertisetoreallygettotheroot ofmyproblems. IcametoPeakwithchronicshinsplints post-stressfracture,twingyknees,andmost importantly aseverepain inmyhipthatpreventedmefromrunning… period.Overthefewmonthswespenttogether, I learned
more about howmy muscles, tendons, and everything wereall related,and throughASTYM treatments (which are amazing), manual manipulation of joints, targeted exercises, stretching (LOTS OF STRETCHING), and my favorite, theThermoStim treatment,Mikeandhis team were able to get me back to running without pain. The best part is that they also gave me the knowledge and the tools toprevent future injury.And,asmuchas I love hanging out with the Peak crew, I do hope I don’t have to see them any time soon. I can’t rave enough about each of the treatments, and the encouragement you get from the staff to really do yourhomeworkandgetbetter.Theyaren’t likea regular doctor’s office where you might feel like you are being shuffled in and out.They laugh with you, joke with you, and are just as invested in your health as you are. Here’s to a great team that I hope continues to “Keep it Awkward” for many patients to come. Because, not only does it work, you will have a good time doing it!” - Jen R.
My feet are happy! "When I came to PT, I was experiencing pain, tingling, and numbness in my feet. It was miserable to do any of my exercise activities. After being put on a regimen of stretching and ASTYM therapy, my feet are happy again. Mike, Emily, Jon, Bre, and the rest of the team are so kind and helpful. Thank you so much.” - Marce S.

LOWER BACK PAIN AND PHYSICAL THERAPY
Physical therapy is a great resource for lower back pain because it addresses the cause of the pain, rather than simply attempting to hide the symptoms. Working with a physical therapist can help you to experience improved range of motion, to restore strength to muscles in your lower back that may have experienced atrophy through lack of use, and also reduce tension in your lower back muscles through targeted massage. When working with a physical therapist, you may also be guided through different lifestyle changes that you can make that can help you begin to overcome your back pain with everyday activities. This can include: • Making changes to the type of shoes that you wear so that your back is getting more support with every step. Sometimes, using special insoles can significantly improve your back pain. • Adjusting your sleeping habits, or perhaps investing in a new mattress so that your back has more support at night. • Using more lumbar support at work or on your commute by using a special chair or chair cover. Lower back pain is a pain in the butt, but you don’t need to deal with it any longer. Reach out to your physical therapist for information and support overcoming lower back pain, and finally find long-term
relief. Source:

HEALTHY RECIPE
Mexican Cauliflower Rice Skillet
INGREDIENTS • 1 lb ground beef • 1/4 medium onion diced • 1/2 red pepper diced • 3 tbsp taco seasoning
• 1 cup diced tomatoes • 12 ounces cauliflower rice • 1/2 cup chicken broth • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese or Mexican Blend

Stir in the taco seasoning. Add the tomatoes and cauliflower rice and stir to combine. Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the cauliflower rice begins to soften (8 to 10 minutes for frozen). Sprinkle the skillet with the cheese and cover.

“When I started PT in early February, I was having pain in my knees and hips from running and a P90X class. Frequent ASTYM helped relieve all of my initial knee pain, and all of the exercises Mike and Jon have taught me have helped my hips to become stronger and completely pain free. I have a much better idea of which exercises to modify that cause knee pain, and I look forward to many more years of strong, pain-free running, hiking and swimming. All of the staff at Peak Motion have been very competent and caring, and I look forward to coming back for occasional ASTYM if any knee pain reoccurs. Thanks to you all!” - Dorothy S. www.mypeakmotion.com Helped my hips to become stronger!
