HealthFit Physical Therapy and Chiropractic’s BLOG. Here we provide you with a large selection of topics to help you get back to doing what you love.
It seemed appropriate that this week’s blog post follow suit and take a closer look at a gymnastics injury case. I thought we could take a closer look at how Physical Therapy/Athletic Training could help and loosely explain the evaluation and treatment (each patient goes through an individualized process).

This ability to "gather" information can be both a blessing and curse....it really depends on your perspective.Read More
For those of you that do not follow horse racing, Flavien Prat is one of the hottest young riders on the circuit right now. With over 5 million in purse winnings in the first half of the 2016 season, he is currently ranked #11 in all of North America.

Probably one the most fundamental movements we all need to master is a proper squat.
