BE THE BEST YOU POSSIBLE

Hannah (our resident Survivor fan) has been on Baby Island since June and she has officially voted High Pointe on. She returns to the Rudolphtown Adult Clinic on Tuesday, October 20 and we're fairly certain the 90s country playlist will come back with her. She's starting with a lighter schedule, so she'll have fewer openings than usual for the first few weeks.
Hannah treats people with back, neck, shoulder and knee pain, as well as other orthopedic injuries. She'll explain why it hurts, not just hand you a sheet of exercises and you'll probably laugh more than you expect to.
You should call if any of these describe you:
🟩Your pain has lasted more than a few weeks.
🟩Your pain changes how you sleep, sit or lift.
🟩You've stopped doing something you enjoy because of your pain.
In Tennessee, you may not need a referral to see a physical therapist. Our front desk will check your insurance for you. Call 931-920-4333 (option 2) to get on Hannah's schedule.

Meet Katie, a PTA working with our adult patients. Thank you for all that you do, Katie! 💪🏼
Favorite PT tool/equipment: That is a hard one. I see great benefits with IASTM and cupping tools.
Best piece of PT advice: Believe in yourself. Work will pay off. Keep up with home exercises.
Favorite way to celebrate a patient win: High fives!

The twin on the right has a strong opinion about which shoulder his head belongs on.
That's torticollis, often caused by a tight neck muscle. Earlier PT makes it easier to treat.
What to look for:
👀 Head tilts to the same side most of the time
👀 Always looks one direction, and baby fusses or it's hard turning the other way
👀 Flat spot on one side or the back of the head
👀 Prefers one side for feeding
👀 Head is in the same position in every photo you take
What to try today:
✅ Talk, play, and feed from the side they don't like to look toward
✅ Flip which end of the crib their head goes so the room is on that side
✅ Tummy time. Short sessions, many times.
✅ During tummy time, hold toys on the less-favored side
If you're noticing any of this, you're not overreacting.
Mention it at your next pediatrician visit and ask them to fax a PT referral to High Pointe Therapy at 931-920-4346.
Or call us directly. Tennessee lets you see a PT without a referral, and we'll check your insurance first.
