Why is the relationship between a PT and their patient so important? Here’s what our clinicians say. 👇

It starts with a simple idea: you are the expert on your own life.
Your PT brings the clinical expertise. You bring your experience, your goals, your challenges, and your priorities. And together, you figure out what comes next.

That’s why a physical therapy evaluation is about more than checking a box. It’s where your PT learns what you’re dealing with, what matters most to you, and what you want to get back to.

It’s also a big part of why PT involves more than exercise: the plan is built with you, not handed to you.

Curious what it’s really like to be a physical therapist? Hear it straight from the people who do it every day. 💛

“I like personally making a difference in people’s lives. The ability to get someone go from ‘I can barely walk to the car’ to ‘I’m on the ground playing with my grandkids’… And having that huge & positive change in someones life is super empowering.” - Jacob DuVall, PT

TMD isn’t just jaw pain. It can show up as ear ringing, tooth pain, even headaches.

Temporomandibular Disorders, also known as TMJ dysfunction, can be a tricky beast. Many people don’t recognize the symptoms — from jaw pain, clicking, popping, and locking, into unexpected issues like ear pain, tooth sensitivity, and frequent headaches. These seemingly unrelated symptoms may all be connected to the jaw, and TMJ physical therapy can help uncover and treat the root cause.

Understanding the link between TMD and ear, teeth and headache symptoms is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

Read the full guide, and if any of this sounds familiar, book a visit. No referral needed.

TMJ Self Release 💥

Jaw clicking, ear pain, or headaches that won’t quit?

Here’s how to perform a TMJ Self Release 👇🏽

Start by washing your hands or putting on a glove.
1. Using your thumb, place it inside your mouth along the back of your jaw, near your back molars.

2. Place your index or middle finger on the outside of your jaw so that your thumb and finger are gently pinching the tissue between them, like you’re gently pinching playdough.

3. Gently press your thumb and finger together and glide both fingers down toward the bottom of your jaw.

4. Next, gently glide your thumb and finger along your cheekbone, moving toward your nose.

5. Throughout the technique, keep your tongue resting on the roof of your mouth and make sure you’re not squeezing too hard.

Do you have more questions or want to get to the bottom of your pain? Reach out and schedule an appointment with our TMD specialist now!

Still dealing with muscle pain, tightness, or limited movement? There might be a solution you haven’t tried yet.
 
Dry needling is a specialty technique used by our certified physical therapists to target muscle trigger points, releasing tension, reducing pain, and restoring the range of motion your body needs. 
 
It’s not acupuncture. It’s not a quick fix. It’s targeted, evidence-informed care designed to get to the root of what’s holding you back. 
 
Dry needling can help with: 
✅ Neck & back pain 
✅ Chronic muscle tightness 
✅ Sports injuries 
✅ Post-surgical recovery 
✅ Restricted movement 
 
Many patients feel a difference within just a few sessions.

Meet your physical therapist. 👋

Spencer Benjamin, PT, DPT is the Practice Manager at Therapeutic Associates – North Meridian, and we’re so glad he’s here to serve the community.

Spencer earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Tufts University and his Kinesiology degree from Boise State University — an Idaho-rooted education with nationally recognized training. His journey into PT started with his own experiences as a collegiate football player navigating training, injury, and recovery, which means he truly understands what it feels like to want to get back to doing what you love.

In the clinic, Spencer takes an individualized approach to every patient — blending manual therapy, exercise, and education to create plans that actually fit your life and your goals. He’s certified in Dry Needling Level 1 and has a special passion for working with active individuals, weekend warriors, and patients recovering from neurological conditions like stroke and multiple sclerosis.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find him backpacking, fly fishing, hitting the slopes, or crushing a CrossFit workout with his wife and golden retriever, Charlie. 🐾🏔️
