As a sports physical therapist, staying active is a huge part of my life—running, strength training, treating patients, and constantly being on the go. That means recovery has to keep up with me, too. 🏃‍♀️💪
Enter Kineon MOVE+ ❤️

MOVE+ uses red and near-infrared light therapy, which can be a great addition to a recovery routine. Red light therapy is beneficial for supporting muscle recovery, reducing the feeling of soreness, promoting circulation, and helping the body recover after activity.

What I love most? It fits into real life. I can use MOVE+ hands-free, wirelessly, and portably while I’m doing documentation, stretching, or getting other things done.

Because recovery isn’t separate from training—it’s part of it.

If you’re serious about staying active and keeping your body moving, Kineon MOVE+ is a recovery tool worth adding to your routine.

❤️ Want to try MOVE+ for yourself? There’s a link in our bio for $$ off!

Train hard. Recover smart. Keep moving.

Ankle sprain + swelling + bruising? 👣
Lymphatic taping can be a helpful addition to your recovery by encouraging fluid movement, helping reduce swelling, and supporting the body’s natural healing process. As the swelling improves, it can also help bruising resolve over time.
Remember: tape isn’t a standalone treatment. The best results come from combining it with the right rehab, movement, compression (when appropriate), and a gradual return to activity.

Achilles pain slowing you down? 🦶

KT tape can provide extra support, improve proprioception, and help reduce discomfort while you’re staying active—but it’s not a standalone treatment.

✅ Great for:

* Achilles tendinopathy
* Mild Achilles irritation
* Returning to activity
* Extra support during workouts

⚠️ Tape should always be paired with:
• Progressive calf strengthening
• Eccentric heel raises
• Ankle mobility
• Gradual return to running or sport

Save this for the next time your Achilles starts acting up, and send it to someone who’s always complaining about heel pain!

Scapular Winging Rehab Flow 👇
Each of these targets why scapular winging happens — whether it’s weakness, poor motor control, or soft tissue restriction. Start simple, build up 🔧
1️⃣ Scapular Mobs (Retraction + Depression): Loosens stiff scapulothoracic tissue and teaches passive positioning. Great prep before active work.
2️⃣ Protraction + Graston Tool (IASTM): Releases adhesions around serratus & rib cage, making it easier to engage during movement.
3️⃣ Banded Serratus Rolls: Activates the serratus anterior in a controlled range — a key player in keeping the scap flat to the ribcage.
4️⃣ Scapular Clocks (Banded): Builds proprioception + control through multi-directional scap movement. Think of it as “scapular literacy.”
5️⃣ Serratus Punches: Combines protraction with upward rotation. Builds endurance in serratus and helps reinforce a strong “push” pattern.
6️⃣ Banded Rows: Strengthens mid-back (rhomboids, mid traps) for balanced scapular retraction — a must if serratus is overworking alone.
7️⃣ Face Pulls: Targets lower/mid traps + rotator cuff. Supports scapular upward rotation and postural endurance.
8️⃣ Hanging Scapular Retractions (Advanced): Reinforces full retraction/depression with control — great for advanced scapular motor control and stability.
🧠 Sequence tip:
Mobility ➡️ Activation ➡️ Strength ➡️ Control
No skipping steps.

POV: The back relief hack I wish I knew sooner.
Self-banded lumbar traction has been a great tool to help reduce pressure, improve comfort, and make movement feel easier—but it’s not a permanent fix.
Real, lasting progress comes from addressing why your back hurts in the first place. That’s where physical therapy comes in. Pairing techniques like this with the right strength, mobility, and movement program can make a big difference over time.
Think of traction as a tool to help you feel better so you can do the work that creates lasting results—not as the solution by itself.

KT tape can be a helpful tool for managing plantar fasciitis—but it’s not a standalone fix. 👣
When applied correctly, kinesiology tape may:
• Provide gentle support to the arch
• Reduce strain on the plantar fascia
• Improve comfort during walking and daily activities
• Increase body awareness and movement confidence
The key is using it alongside a comprehensive physical therapy plan that addresses the root cause. Strengthening the foot and calf muscles, improving ankle mobility, and gradually increasing tissue tolerance are what lead to lasting results.
Think of KT tape as a way to help you stay active while you’re building strength—not as a replacement for rehab.
If heel pain has been slowing you down, a physical therapist can help create a plan that’s tailored to you.
