Meet Brooke Austin, PTA!

We're excited to welcome Brooke to the Gillette Physical Therapy team! Brooke is a Gillette native, and in many ways, this feels like a full-circle moment. She actually worked at GPT as an aide while she was in high school, where she saw firsthand the relationships our team built with patients and the difference physical therapy can make. That experience stayed with her, and returning to GPT was always something she hoped to do.

Since graduating from Physical Therapist Assistant school in 2019, Brooke has gained experience in both outpatient and home health settings, helping patients of all ages regain strength, improve mobility, and get back to doing the things they enjoy.

Outside of the clinic, you'll likely find Brooke working out, coaching CrossFit, hiking, spending time with her family and her dog, or enjoying everything our community has to offer.

Please join us in giving Brooke a warm welcome! We're excited to have her on the team.

🍂 SUMMER ROUTINES ARE CHANGING . . . DON'T LET YOUR WORKOUTS OR GOALS DISAPPEAR

As summer sports wrap up and outdoor workouts become less convenient, fall is the perfect time to transition into a structured routine and build habits that will carry you through winter.

You don't need to go all-in - focus on small, realistic goals you can actually maintain! 🎯

5 Realistic Fall Fitness Goals:

1. 🏋‍♀️ Strength train 2-3x a week
2. 🚶‍♂️ Move 20-30 minutes most days
3. 🧘‍♂️ Spend 5-10 minutes on mobility
4. 👟 Add 1,000-2,000 steps to your daily average
5. 📆 Stay consistent - not perfect

Missed a workout? Had a busy week? That's okay! Get back to your routine at the next opportunity. 🙌

The goal isn't to do everything. It's to build a routine you can stick with through fall, winter, and beyond.

💬 Which goal or goals are you choosing this fall? Let us know in the comments.

🦶 Rolled your ankle before? You're more likely to do it again.

An ankle sprain may seem like a minor injury, but without proper rehabilitation, it can lead to chronic instability, weakness, and repeated sprains.

Help protect your ankles by:
🧑‍🩰Improving your balance with single-leg exercises
🏋‍♀️ Strengthening your ankles, calves, and hips
👟 Wearing supportive footwear for your activity
🏃‍♂️ Including agility and stability exercises in your routine
⏳️ Completing your rehabilitation - even after the pain is gone

🚨 Don't ignore a sprain. If you're ankle continues to feel weak, unstable, or gives out during everyday activities or sports, it may not have healed properly.

At GPT, we're here to help individuals restore strength, improve balance, and reduce the risk of future ankle injuries. Physical therapy can help identify weaknesses and movement patterns that may be putting you at risk.

Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve sideways and is often identified during childhood or adolescence. While some cases are mild, others can lead to pain, posture changes, muscle imbalances, or limitations with activity. Physical therapy can help improve strength, mobility, posture, and overall function.

If you or your child has been diagnosed with scoliosis or you’re concerned about changes in posture, Gillette Physical Therapy can help. Call (307) 682-4900 to learn more.
