older brother. I love working at Atlas PT, not only because I learn from the physical therapists and get to help people, but the overall atmosphere is great and everyone is treated like family! In other exciting news, Dr. Sam hosted his first Rotator Cuff and Shoulder Pain Workshop on a Tuesday night in September. Thanks to everyone for spreading the word. The response was amazing! We’ll continue to mix it up between our Lower Back and Shoulder Workshops with new topics potentially next year. (continued inside)
Welcome Jazmyn Scott, our newest Full Time Physical Therapist Technician!

WHAT’S GOING ON AROUND ATLAS PT?
(continued from outside) Football season is here! Sydney cheered for the home-team at the Raven’s first pre-season game vs. the Bears. Jersey Friday has been updated to Atlas T-shirt Thursday. While you may miss Lauren’s Eagles jersey, she’s still very up-to-date on their news. Growing up 30 minutes outside of D.C., Jo is another NFC fan—he’s our resident Redskin’s guy who’s loved his team since his birth! Sam visited his alma mater over the long Labor Day weekend when his Penn State squeaked out their overtime win vs. Appalachian State! In addition to football, obviously, the school year is in full swing too! Samantha is mostly loving the 1st grade! It’s the first year she gets her own desk, and they also get to pick their own seats at lunch. Pre-K is 2.5 full days for Kathryn. She plays really hard, and naps really hard! Megan’s last two kids are hitting their stride too. Catherine is very happy with her class choices and with joining the diving team at Mount Saint Mary’s. Chris loves being the only Davis at Spalding and now has two succesful cross-country meets under his belt!
OCTOBER 2018
Happy Birthday to Becky! Your 20th Birthday is a special time to the Ukrainian side of her family, and she had a great celebration! Bekah’s 2 brothers visited from Seattle. She got to meet her 5-month-old nephew and catch up on snuggles, as well as enjoyed Hamilton at the Kennedy Center! Mallory finally had her first crab feast of the season with her grandparents! Happy 1-year Atlas anniversary to Sydney! She does an incredible job up front and has grown into her role of Office Manager since May. To celebrate, she adopted a young dog named Scooby, who was discovered by our tech Jo on his way to work one day! Sydney met the pup and it was love at first sight! After the shelter checked for owners and no one came for him, Sydney went back for him and brought him home to her brand new apartment she just signed for with her girlfriend, Morgan! Their new house is already filled with lots of toys and treats for Scooby. ~ Dr. Laura Sanner, Owner Atlas PT

Hello,
Rotator cuff and shoulder pain can completely ruin your life… we’ve seen it many times.
It can stop you from feeling like a normal person…
It can make you change the way you move doing everyday activities…
It can make sleeping at night nearly impossible leaving you feeling tired all day long… And less movement and enjoying of life can lead to depression, increased stress and a sedentary lifestyle (mostly sitting… not moving much) which leads to bigger health problems… and life problems. Here at Atlas PT, our rotator cuff experts have helped 100’s of people from right here in Anne Arundel County… who have suffered needlessly with rotator cuff pain… it’s our specialty.
So by request, we’re hosting a rotator cuff workshop.

SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ATLAS PT “This has changed my life. I 100% recommend.” “My experience here was incredible. When I showed up I could barely turn my head to the left. My neck hurt 24/7, and it was starting to destroy what little sleep I could get. My right shoulder was permanently hiked up around my ear and I could no longer raise or relax the arm correctly. All of this made driving, sleeping, sitting, even existing, really horrible. Working on the exercises here and learning what would help (instead of hinder) was life changing. At one time, I didn’t remember life without moderate, unending neck/shoulder pain. Now, I’m rock climbing (badly, but improving!) once a week. I can run again, and my commute no longer ends with me wishing to commit hideous acts of violence. This has changed my life. I 100% recommend.” - Natalie B.
“I can have my normal life back, holding my son, playing with him as much as he wants...” “Before I started PT here at Atlas, I was extremely limited in the everyday activities I could do for myself and my family because of my shoulder pain. These activities were as small as grabbing a plate from the cabinet, to washing my hair. The hardest part was not being able to even pick up my 2-year-old son or swing him around like he loves. But after the wonderful care of everyone at Atlas, and the home exercises they taught me to embed into my daily life, I can have my normal life back, holding my son, playing with him as much as he wants, and taking care of myself and my whole family. Thank you Atlas Physical Therapy.” - Alison B.
“I sleep better, function better, and for the first time in my life, I stand up straight.” “I came to Atlas after being told by an OD that the vertebrae in my neck were pressing on each other and pinching a nerve, causing shocks of pain down my arm. I also had near constant burning pain in my neck and shoulders. After treatment at Atlas, I’ve had no shocks of pain and the burning pain, as well as most of the tension, has gone. I sleep better, function better, and for the first time in my life, I stand up straight. I feel better physically, and I feel better about myself. ” - Scott B.
