“While climbing at Smith Rock, I broke my ankle and needed surgery in June.
I first came into this office on crutches, worried I’d never climb again.
In about 6 months, Katie had me back on my feet and back on the climbing wall.
Not only was I given the support I needed to get back to my day-to-day life, but I learned so much about my body and its needs that I didn’t know before.
It has made me a more successful athlete, and better attuned to what my body needs on a given day.
The whole office treated me so kindly throughout this whole experience, and Katie in particular was incredibly compassionate to the mental and emotional impacts of my injury.
(Thank you so much!)”

I hope that you stayed well and active during this beautiful warm October. It is hard to believe that we already flew through the beginning of the new school year and Halloween activities!
The leaves have turned colors and it is likely that many of you are starting to look into getting early bird deals on ski tickets and planning winter getaways. With that in mind, I wish to remind you to use this time to prepare your body for winter sports.
As you switch from your gardening and harvest collecting “exercises” to cardio and weights, make sure you have the proper knowledge and tools to keep your body healthy. If you need advice Nick Rinard Physical Therapy is here to help you make this transition! This way you are likely to avoid injuries and that disappointing muscle fatigue that causes you to stop too soon, while the snow on the slopes is just about to fall.
If the summer and beginning fall season vacations have not healed your injuries, now might be a good time to take care of them, before your insurance plan changes with the new calendar year.
~ All the best, Krissy Brown-Marshall
