That tight shoulder you keep stretching out? It rarely stays small... When one spot gets stiff, other muscles pick up the slack. Over time, that can turn into:

😕 Neck tension
🙁 Headaches
😥 Bad sleep
😪 A rotator cuff tear

⭐️ A free 20-minute screening with our physiotherapists checks how your shoulder moves and what's covering for it! ⭐️

How long have you been putting off that nagging ache? Tell us below!

Test your ankle mobility at home!🦶Watch Isaac Spencer, DPT (our newest physio in Winston-Salem) show you how!

👇 How to do the ankle mobility test:
1️⃣ Put your toes one hand-width from the wall.
2️⃣ Push your knee forward to touch the wall.
3️⃣ Keep your heel flat on the floor.
4️⃣ Test both ankles.

What the results mean:
✅ Knee touches the wall with your heel down: your ankle bends well.
⚠️ Heel lifts before your knee touches: your ankle may be stiff.
🏋️ Why do my heels lift when I squat? Stiff ankles are a common reason. The stiffness can come from tight calves, an old ankle sprain, or the ankle joint itself.

This test shows if your ankle is limited. A physical therapist can find out why.

📍 Renew Wellness offers a free 20-minute mobility screening with a physical therapist inside O2 Fitness Thruway Center in Winston-Salem, NC. (No membership or doctor's referrals required!)

The single-leg calf raise test checks your calf strength. 🦵 See how the Renew physical therapy team in Winston-Salem did! 👀

👇 How to do it:
1️⃣ Stand on one leg, fingertips on a wall.
2️⃣ Rise onto your toes with a straight knee.
3️⃣ Count reps until you can't reach full height.
4️⃣ Repeat on the other leg.

How many single-leg calf raises should you be able to do?
✅ About 25 per leg is the classic target. Over 60, closer to 12.
⚠️ One leg much weaker? That's worth a look.

Why is my physio scraping me with metal? 🤔 It's called IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization).

What it does: loosens tight muscle and tissue.

Common spots for scraping:
Forearms
Calves
IT band
Old scar tissue

What to expect: firm pressure, and some redness that fades in a few hours.

Where are you tightest after a workout?

Tight upper back from lifting? Cupping can help!

It loosens tight shoulder and back muscles so pressing and pulling feel smoother. We pair it with mobility work so it lasts!

📱 Fitness apps and wearables work great... but only when they're set up right.

A 2026 study reviewed over 1,800 research papers on digital tools for muscle and joint recovery. The tools worked just as well as in-person care, but the best results came from combining both.

Why? Because an app doesn't know your body. A physiotherapist does.

At Renew Wellness, our physiotherapists assess how you move, spot imbalances, and build your plan first. From there, your therapist may recommend tools like exercise videos or progress tracking, always guided by your plan.

The tech supports your treatment. It doesn't replace it. 💪
