Your care shouldn’t be dictated by an insurance company.

At Symmetry Physical Therapy, we are intentionally out-of-network because we believe your treatment should be based on what you need, not on what an insurance plan allows.

Our model gives us the freedom to provide true one-on-one care, with a full session dedicated to you and a treatment plan built around your goals, your progress, and getting you back to doing what you love as efficiently as possible.

And you’re not simply seeing a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

You’re working with experienced clinicians who have invested years into advanced training and additional credentials in areas including orthopedics, manual therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, concussion care, sports rehabilitation, and more.

That level of expertise, time, and individualized attention is why we have intentionally chosen an out-of-network model and a fee schedule that reflects the level of care we provide.

One patient. One therapist. One-on-one care.
Because your treatment should be determined by what’s best for you.

🔥 SI Joint Pain? Try Building Stronger Hip Stability

If you’re dealing with SI joint (sacroiliac joint) pain, improving the strength and control of the muscles around your pelvis may help support the area during everyday movement. 💪

👉 Single-Leg RDLs - strengthen the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, hamstrings, and core, while improving balance, pelvic control, and single-leg stability.
👉 Quadruped Hip Hikes - target the gluteus medius, an important muscle that helps keep your pelvis level when you walk, run, or stand on one leg.

For some people with SIJ pain, stronger glutes and better movement control can help reduce stress on the pelvis during daily activities and exercise.

Save this for your next lower-body workout and share it with someone who could benefit from stronger, more stable hips!

Shoulder pain with overhead movement? It may not just be your shoulder… it could be your scapular mechanics.

The serratus anterior and lower trapezius work together to upwardly rotate and stabilize the shoulder blade, while the middle trapezius helps with scapular positioning. Your rotator cuff muscles keep the ball of the shoulder centered in the socket during movement. When these muscles aren’t working together efficiently, extra stress can be placed on the shoulder, contributing to impingement symptoms and pain.

Try these:
✅Banded Wall Clocks
✅Serratus Wall Slides
✅Banded Scapular Angels

These exercises strengthen the muscles that support healthy shoulder mechanics, improve scapular control, and help reduce unnecessary stress on the shoulder during overhead activities.

Shoulder pain doesn’t have to become your new normal. Come see us at Symmetry Physical Therapy for a movement assessment and a personalized plan to get you back to doing what you love.❣️

Strong groin, stronger you. 💪

The Copenhagen plank is a challenging exercise that helps build hip, groin, and core strength while improving stability and reducing injury risk. It’s World Cup season so try these to prevent one of the most common soccer injuries.

🔥 Think you’ve mastered the clamshell? Plot twist… you’ve only met Clamshell 1.0.

Introducing… Clamshell 2.0. Same goal. Bigger challenge. Much less opportunity to cheat.

If the traditional clamshell is learning to turn your glutes on, Clamshell 2.0 is teaching them to stay on while your body has to stabilize.

By propping yourself up into a side plank and pushing your hips back, you light up the bottom glute while forcing your glute medius and glute minimus to work even harder to keep your pelvis stable.

Translation:
🔥 More glute activation.
🔥 More core engagement.
🔥 Better hip stability.
🔥 More carryover to running, jumping, cutting, and everyday movement.

The catch?

Just like the regular clamshell, this exercise is easy to do incorrectly.

Don’t rush through it.
❌ Don’t let your hips roll.
❌ Don’t let your hip flexors take over.
✅ Keep your body long.
✅ Push your hips back.
✅ Feel the work in the side and back of your hip, not the front.

Remember, progression isn’t about making an exercise look harder. It’s about increasing the demand without sacrificing quality.

So… are you still on Clamshell 1.0, or are you ready for the upgrade? 😎

Drop a 🦪 in the comments if you’re brave enough to give Clamshell 2.0 a try.

🔥 Your glutes might not actually be working… even if you think they are.

Doing these exercises will help with hip, back, and knee pain.

Quick test: When you do clamshells, where do you feel them?

❌ Front of your hip?
❌ Hip flexor burning?
❌ That little muscle on the front and side of your hip taking over?

If that’s you, you’re probably reinforcing the exact movement pattern you’re trying to fix!!!

At Symmetry Physical Therapy, one of the most common things we see, is that people become quad dominant. They learn to pull themselves through movement instead of pushing with their glutes.

Your glute medius and glute minimus are essential for:
✅ Pelvic stability
✅ Controlling your knee position
✅ Improving running efficiency
✅ Better balance and single-leg control
✅ Reducing stress on your knees, hips, and low back

The humble clamshell is one of the best exercises to wake these muscles up.

But only if you do it correctly.

A few coaching cues:
🍑 Keep your pelvis stacked. Don’t roll backward.
🍑 Lift only as high as you can without your hips rotating.
🍑 Think about initiating the movement from the side of your hip, not the front.
🍑 Slow and controlled beats fast and sloppy every time.

The goal isn’t to open your knee as far as possible. The goal is to get your glutes doing the work.

Two other exercises we love for targeting the glute medius and glute minimus are the side-lying straight leg raise and the mini kick. When performed with good technique, all three exercises help improve hip stability and teach your glutes to fire the way they’re supposed to.

Remember, it’s not about doing more exercises. It’s about doing the right exercises the right way.

Have you ever felt clamshells more in the front of your hip than in your glutes? Let us know in the comments. 👇

When certain neck muscles are overworking, posture and movement can suffer. Here we’re activating the deep neck flexors and upper traps to help calm down overactive scalenes, improve posture, and reduce unnecessary tension. Train the right muscles, and the body starts to move differently.

🚨 Want to move faster on the court? Start by learning how to STOP. 🚨

Most padel and tennis players spend all their training time working on speed, power, and agility…

But the athletes who stay healthy and perform at a high level know that DECELERATION is where the magic happens.

Every time you chase down a drop shot, change direction, or recover after a wide ball, your body has to absorb forces that can be several times your body weight.

❌ Poor deceleration = overloaded knees, Achilles, calves, hips, and lower back.

✅ Good deceleration = faster movement, better balance, improved court coverage, and fewer injuries.

The problem? Most recreational athletes never train it.

In this reel, we’re covering a few beginner-to-intermediate exercises that help you:

🎾 Improve change-of-direction mechanics
🎾 Build control when stopping
🎾 Increase force absorption capacity
🎾 Prepare your body for the demands of padel and tennis
🎾 Reduce your risk of common overuse injuries

Think of deceleration as your body’s brakes.

Mastering how to slow down is often the fastest way to move better.

Save this post for your next training session and send it to your doubles partner who always ends up on the injury list. 👇
