We had a great time at the Hanger Clinic Hanger Feild Day, hosted at Davenport University this past Saturday!

Our Director of The Center’s Limb Loss program, Nick McBride, and Practice Liaison, Doug Wierenga, were on-site at the event providing education about our programming and connecting with the community. It was a great event to learn about services available to amputees and prosthetic users.

Thank you to Hanger Clinic for organizing this educational event for the limb loss community and their supporters.

You shouldn't have to just live with it.
That nagging shoulder.
The back pain that never completely goes away.
The hip that always feels tight.
The pain that got better… but then stopped improving.

When pain sticks around long enough, it's easy to start thinking, “I guess this is just how I am now.”

But persistent pain doesn't always mean you've run out of options. Dry needling may be one more tool to help you move past a stubborn plateau.

By targeting specific muscles and areas of dysfunction, dry needling may help decrease pain and muscle tension while improving movement—giving you an opportunity to get back to the activities you want to do.

If you've tried conservative treatments and still aren't where you want to be, let's talk about what's next.

Call us to learn more about dry needling or schedule an evaluation.

Tight hips. Stiff shoulders. Limited mobility. Muscles that never seem to fully relax.

Assisted Stretch at The Center's Wellness Academy gives you dedicated time to focus on flexibility, mobility, and recovery—with a Certified Personal Trainer guiding you through each stretch.

During your 30- or 60-minute session, your trainer uses hands-on stretching techniques to target the areas where you need the most attention.

✨ Improve flexibility and range of motion
✨ Reduce muscle tension
✨ Support recovery
✨ Increase mobility
✨ Give yourself a chance to slow down and reset

And you don't have to choose between stretching and training. Assisted Stretch can be booked on its own or incorporated into your Personal Training routine.

If your body has been asking for a little more mobility, listen to it. Learn more at https://pt-cpr.com/wellness-academy/personal-stretching/
