Back working with WWU Men’s Rugby and Western Track & Field!

One of my favorite parts of being a physical therapist is helping athletes work their way back to doing what they love. The progress comes from the work we put in together, from early rehab to building strength and confidence for the demands of their sport.

We’re grateful to continue supporting these athletes through another season. Thank you to the athletes and coaches for trusting Praxis to be part of the process.

Let’s have a great season. Go Vikings!

Last month during our Praxis skills staff meeting, our very own Dr. Aaron Thompson, DPT led a great presentation on concussion rehabilitation.

We reviewed how concussion recovery has changed from the old approach of prolonged rest and “waiting it out.” We discussed the importance of active recovery, symptom-guided activity, brain breaks, cervical treatment, vestibular and balance rehabilitation, graded exercise, and gradually rebuilding tolerance for everyday activity and sport.

Aaron also walked us through our concussion education pamphlet and how we can use tools like the Rule of Three to help patients understand when to modify activity without completely avoiding it.

These staff meetings are an important part of Praxis. We learn from each other, discuss current evidence, and continue improving how we care for our patients.

Great presentation, Aaron!

A little hello from all of us at Praxis! If you’ve been in, you’ll recognize these faces. If we haven’t met yet, we’d love to get to know you.

Now that you’ve met us, here’s a little about what we do at Praxis:

• Shoulder rehabilitation
• Knee and ACL rehabilitation
• Running injuries and return to running
• Sports injuries and post-surgical recovery
• Neck, back, and spine care
• TMJ and jaw pain
• Return-to-sport, strength, and performance testing

We also use hands-on treatments, including FDM, and blood flow restriction training as part of individualized care.

Whether you’re getting back to the trails, the gym, or everyday life, we’d love to help.

Pain With Squatting?

Squatting should feel strong and controlled, but sometimes restrictions in the joints or surrounding tissues can make the movement painful, stiff, or limited.

At Praxis, we use the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) as one approach to identify and address areas that may be contributing to restricted movement.

FDM hands-on treatment may help improve joint and soft tissue mobility, making it easier to move through the positions needed for squatting. We then reinforce those changes with movement, mobility work, and progressive strengthening.

The goal isn’t just to temporarily reduce pain.

Move better. Load better. Build capacity.

If squatting hurts, it doesn’t always mean you need to stop squatting. Sometimes we need to figure out what is limiting the movement and work from there.
