If you’ve ever met Bryan Stuettgen, PT, clinic director and physical therapist at our Stevens Point South clinic, you’ll notice two things pretty quickly:

1️⃣ He’s passionate about helping people feel better.
2️⃣ He truly loves what he does.

When Bryan isn’t in the clinic, there’s a good chance he’s lifting weights or planning his next workout. He practices what he preaches, and that commitment to movement and health shows up in the care he provides every day.

A big part of Bryan’s work focuses on mid and low-back pain — the kind that builds up from long workdays, busy schedules, or years of simply pushing through discomfort. He’s passionate about helping people understand that movement isn’t something to fear. When used the right way, movement can be powerful medicine.

And if you haven’t heard the news yet, Bryan was named the 2025 APTA Wisconsin Physical Therapist of the Year!
An honor that recognizes outstanding clinical skill, compassion, professionalism, and dedication to the profession, all qualities Bryan brings to his patients and team every single day.

One message Bryan wants people to remember: you don’t have to live in pain. Small, smart movement choices can make a huge difference in how your body feels and how you move through life.

If you’re dealing with back pain or simply want to move better, you’re in very good hands with Bryan.
We’re proud to have him on our team and even prouder to see his work recognized across the state.

Two Common Sources of Everyday Pain: Hands, Wrists, and Knees If you’ve noticed your hands, wrists, or knees don’t feel the way they used to, you’re not alone. These are two of the most common areas we see people struggle with every single week. Not just athletes. Not just older adults. Regula...

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. 🇺🇸

Their courage, service, and dedication will never be forgotten.

As we spend time with family and friends this weekend, we’re reminded that freedom comes at a cost, made possible by those willing to serve something greater than themselves.

From all of us at Advanced, thank you to our fallen heroes and the families who carry their legacy forward.

Hey Everyone, meet Zach Mancl, Physical Therapist at our Stevens Point North location. 👋

Zach is a valued part of our clinical and industrial team, and the kind of provider people feel comfortable with right away. He’s calm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping people feel better and stay that way.

In the clinic, Zach works with a lot of head and neck pain, along with plantar fasciitis and heel pain.
If you’ve ever dealt with any of those, you know how quickly they can affect your sleep, your workday, and your mood.

Zach’s approach is practical and encouraging. The goal isn’t just to get you through today, but to help you keep moving long term.

Outside of work, Zach loves jogging. It fits perfectly with the advice he wishes everyone knew:
“Don’t stop moving and exercising if you can. Exercise is our most powerful tool to promote physical and mental wellbeing, prevent disease, and enhance longevity.”

Simple. Honest. And something we all need to hear once in a while.

We’re lucky to have Zach on our team, and we think our patients would agree, too!

To the EMS providers who drop everything when the call comes in, THANK YOU!!
Thank you for the long shifts, the missed holidays, the split-second decisions, and the compassion you bring into some of life’s hardest moments.

You’re often the first on scene and the steady presence people remember when everything else feels uncertain. The work you do takes strength, heart, and an incredible commitment to serving others.

This EMS Week, we celebrate and thank all EMS professionals for the care, sacrifice, and dedication you bring to our communities every single day.

We are truly grateful for all that you do, and here to support you in any way we can.

The work you do keeps everything moving; most people just don’t see it.

On Public Works Week, we’re recognizing the crews behind the scenes who build, fix, clear, and maintain the systems our communities rely on every single day. Roads, water, utilities, infrastructure, you make it all work.

At Advanced Industrial Medicine, we’re proud to support public works teams with injury care, prevention, and performance strategies built for the physical demands of the job, so you can keep showing up and getting it done.

Thank you for the work that keeps our communities running.

Todd Blyleven’s message was forged in one of the most chaotic moments imaginable.

After stepping forward during the 2017 Route 91 mass shooting in Las Vegas, Todd turned adversity into purpose, now helping first responders, tactical professionals, and high-performance teams strengthen the mindset needed to lead under pressure.

His keynote goes beyond motivation, delivering real-world insight on resilience, mental readiness, physical preparedness, and performing when the stakes are highest. For those who serve on the front lines, Todd brings a powerful reminder: preparation matters, leadership matters, and how you respond in critical moments can change lives.

Join us this July in Wisconsin Rapids, WI, for the Strength & Readiness Symposium - built for law enforcement, fire, EMS, and first responders committed to staying physically strong, mentally sharp, and ready for whatever comes next.

Hear from Todd Blyleven and other industry experts as they dive into resilience, recovery, performance, nutrition, and leadership under pressure.
