Got hurt getting back into sports or workouts?
You’re not alone.

One of the most common mistakes we see:
➡️ Jumping back in too fast
➡️ Not addressing the root cause

That’s how small issues turn into bigger injuries.

At TAG Physical Therapy, we help you:
✔️ Recover properly
✔️ Rebuild strength and mobility
✔️ Return to activity safely and confidently
You don’t just heal—you come back stronger.

You don’t need to stop being active. You need a better plan.

Too many people think pain means:
❌ Stop working out
❌ Stop playing sports
❌ “Just rest”

But in reality, most injuries come from:
➡️ Poor movement patterns
➡️ Weakness or imbalance
➡️ Doing too much too soon

That’s where we come in.
At TAG Physical Therapy, we help you:
✔️ Improve movement
✔️ Build strength safely
✔️ Stay active long-term

Physical therapy isn’t just recovery— It’s performance and prevention.

At TAG Physical Therapy, we help you:

Don’t let a fun weekend turn into weeks of pain.

Slipped on the ice recently? Back, hip, knee, or shoulder pain after a fall shouldn’t be ignored.
Even if pain feels mild at first, falls can cause movement issues that worsen over time. Early physical therapy helps: • Reduce pain • Restore mobility • Prevent long-term problems
If you’ve noticed lingering pain or stiffness after a fall, TAG Physical Therapy offers 1-on-1 orthopedic care to help you recover faster.
👉 No referral required.

What are your fitness goals this year?

Here’s why I ask:

First, I want to support you in your health & fitness goals.

Second, I want to give you the best possible chance pain does not “derail” your progress.

Which is why, this year, I’ve decided to be proactive.

Here’s how:

See, almost every January, I see new clients who get injured exercising because they didn’t realize their knee, hip, back, neck, ankle, or shoulder was stiff…

And that stiff joint turns to pain.

Generally, they’re worried they tore something, have arthritis, or, at its worst, fear they’ll need surgery.

So, to prevent this from happening… I’m offering “Readiness Exams.”

Which could also be dually called “Instead of Waiting For Something to Go Wrong Exams.”

It’s for anyone who plans to exercise more this year & wants to prevent a problem from sneaking up on them.

By the end of this visit, you’ll know:

>> Which joints are stiff (and in what directions)

>> Any and all muscle imbalances (e.g., left side vs right side)

>> What movements could lead to pain problems & what to be cautious about

>> What “warmup” and “cooldown” movements & exercises you can do to correct the problem(s) above… so you can stay healthy & active while avoiding injury

If you’re interested in the “Readiness Exam,” HIT REPLY and let me know by January 31. Or call/text at 901-286-2882.

This is so refreshing to see from a surgeon’s perspective. In my experience, the absolute best outcomes come from my patients who are willing to put in the work at home. This is among the reasons that I prefer to see most of my patients once a week mainly to progress and problem solve along the way, rather than to come to the clinic to do all the exercises. No!! You need to be doing your exercises at home. Not just in the clinic! When you are motivated and do your exercises, you see the results. When you wait and only do your exercises in clinic, it takes a lot longer and many times the results don’t come.

I’ve been a surgeon for over 30 years… There are many lessons that I’ve learned: Rehab works… more often than you think. Surgery Helps Less Than You Think—But Rehab Helps More After three decades in the operating room, I’ve come to a surprising conclusion—one I wish more patients had h...
