SUCCESS STORY SPOTLIGHT!
TWO MILES STRONG & MOVING FORWARD!

When Peggy Hemmeter came to Active Life, discomfort in her right knee, hip, and back was limiting the activities that were part of her everyday life.

After three months of physical therapy with Lauren Miller, PT, Peggy is back to enjoying her daily two-mile walks and going up and down stairs without discomfort!

And the timing couldn’t be better. Peggy and her husband are currently downsizing from the home they’ve shared for 52 years as they prepare for their next chapter in a retirement community, a process that is definitely keeping her moving!

Peggy credits Lauren’s guidance, encouragement, and motivation with helping her reach her goals.

👏 Congratulations, Peggy! We love seeing you feeling stronger, moving comfortably, and continuing to live your most Active Life!

Success Story Spotlight!
FEELING LIKE MYSELF AGAIN!
When Sarah first came to Active Life Physical Therapy, constant neck pain, radiating nerve pain, and tingling into the left arm and hand had made everyday life difficult. Sleeping, driving, working, and even enjoying time outdoors had become a challenge for her.

After eight weeks of personalized care with John Nietubicz, PT, including dry needling, hands-on therapy, and a customized home exercise program, the transformation has been incredible.

Today, her neck pain is gone, arm symptoms have dramatically improved, and Sarah is back to sleeping comfortably, working with confidence, enjoying long walks with her dog, boating, exercising, and living life without constant pain.

Helping our patients get back to doing what they love is why we do what we do!
How are YOU living your most Active Life?

🌟 Welcome to the team, Ellie King!

We are thrilled to introduce Ellie King, a second-year DPT student from the University of Maryland Baltimore, joining us for her very first clinical rotation!

Ellie's path to PT started close to home — watching her brother and mom work through multiple injuries and seeing the impact that physical therapy had on their recoveries. By her junior year of high school, she was already working as a PT tech, and four years later she was hooked on helping people heal through movement. Here she is!

She arrives with a strong clinical foundation and is eager to see how all the pieces come together in a real patient care setting — especially bridging evaluation and rehabilitation. We love that mindset.

Outside of PT, Ellie stays active through hiking, skiing, volleyball, the gym, and her newest adventure — biking. (Yes, that's her on an actual mountain. 🏔️) She's also a juggler... just not a very good one. 🤹‍♀️

Ellie, we are so glad to have you as part of the Active Life family — we can't wait to watch you grow! 💙

The Gradins' Success Story
Love. Strength. Movement.
There’s nothing better than getting your life back… except getting it back together ❤️

After dealing with back, hip, and overall physical limitations, Stephen and Roseann were struggling to fully enjoy the activities they love. After trying other options without lasting results, they committed to physical therapy with Mariah and our team at Active Life Physical Therapy in the Perry Hall clinic, and everything started to change.

Through consistent work in the clinic and at home, they rebuilt their strength, improved their health, and got back to living without pain.

Now they’re back on the pickleball court, dancing more often, staying active day-to-day, and simply enjoying life together again.
This is what happens when you address the root of the problem and build strength the right way.

SUCCESS STORY!
Stronger Than Before and Back to Living Life!
Pain was starting to take over the little things... sitting, walking, sleeping, even getting through the day comfortably.
With the help of Christina, Stephanie, and the team at Active Life Physical Therapy, and by staying consistent with a home program, Catherine didn’t just get out of pain, she came back stronger.
Now she's:
✔️ Hiking the NCR Trail multiple times a week
✔️ Back to strength training and Zumba
✔️ Sleeping comfortably again
✔️ Handling everyday life without thinking twice
No injections. No surgery. Just the right plan, the right guidance, and the work put in.
This is what happens when strength comes back, life comes back!
How are you living your most Active Life?
Move well. Be strong. Live fully.

ERIC'S SUCCESS STORY
When strength comes back, life comes back. 💪

After struggling with severe knee pain, Eric underwent two knee replacements and committed to rebuilding what matters most: muscle, movement, and confidence.
With our Muscle Forward approach, the team at Active Life Physical Therapy’s Jacksonville clinic helped him get back to walking, biking, gardening, and keeping up with his grandkids again. Now, Eric is pain free and even planning his next adventure to Alaska! 🏔️
This is what restoring strength can do.
