❓ Did you know?
“Calf strains” typically involve a portion of our gastrocnemius muscle as it extends across two joints (ankle and knee). Sudden bursts of acceleration, attempting to control external load while the muscle is in a stretched position, and repeated loading throughout a full range of motion are the most common causes of calf muscle strains.
Re-injury and prolonged recovery are very common when not treated properly!
💥 Are you experiencing recurrent calf strains and/or tightness? Is prolonged, static stretching only providing short-term relief?
Try incorporating a dynamic warmup prior to any activity that includes repetitive push-off and propulsion (i.e. distance running, sports involving sprinting, etc.)!
✅ Here are a few exercise examples (videos 1-3):
-Dynamic Gastroc Runners stretch
-Half-Kneeling Dorsiflexion AAROM
-Heel walks
While joint mobility and muscle length are important, muscle and tendon loading capacity throughout the full range of motion are just as vital and can oftentimes prevent injury!
Here are a few exercise examples (videos 4-6):
-2:2 Gastroc HR
-2:1 Gastroc HR
-SL Gastroc HR
👉 Although this is a great place to start, you or someone you know may need a more individualized rehab program! Give us a call today to set up an evaluation with one of our skilled clinicians!

Did you know?
Runner’s knee can develop from a number of different reasons such as overtraining, decreased joint mobility, or decreased pelvic stability for single limb loading during running.
The great news is, it’s fairly common and easy to treat! The focus is restoring joint mobility and soft tissue restrictions and addressing lateral hip and core strengthening for improved mechanics of the knee joint while running.
Things you can do that will help:
If you have Joint mobility and soft tissue restrictions try foam rolling your TFL (the lateral quad)
And when in doubt, load the tissue! Strength deficits from the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings can all contribute to knee pain. Good news is, strength training is a great way to prevent injury!
Check out some of our favorite exercises that help you do that!
• SL Toe Tap
• 2SL RDL to March
• Goblet Lunge to High Knee
Injury Fun Fact: 60% of running injuries occur due to training load errors.
Why does this happen?
If we increase the demand (aka mileage, speed, frequency) without also improving load capacity (strength), the tissue capacity is exceeded and can result in injury.
That’s WHY a solid strength training program is essential for any runner to improve efficiency, performance, and decrease injury risk💥
Sound like you or a runner you know? Give us a call! Start #evolving and preventing injury today😍

VIBES 😎😍
Dynamic air compression therapy with Normatec Compression boots is one of our favorite forms of recovery 🔥
Why is it so great?
Compression therapy helps to aid in recovery from sport or activity by mobilizing metabolic waste products, increasing circulation, and reducing swelling. Plus, it just feels super good.
Give us a call to inquire about booking session in our compression boots. #keepevolving #evolutionpt #evolutionphysicaltherapy #evolutionphysiopro #compressionboots #normatec

Happy 10 Year Anniversary to the Wintervention/Snowsmart Program!!! We couldn't be more excited for this upcoming season. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this in the past and we look forward to those who will join us this year.
⛷️ Wintervention: Wintervention sessions are a full hour and integrate dry-land circuit training, tabata intervals, plyometrics, mobility drills, balance, core control, and anaerobic conditioning exercises specific for the mountain. These group sessions can accommodate up to 10 individuals and are a fun way to get snow-fit prior to the upcoming season.
We will also be doing a few Red Rocks Wintervention workouts on select Saturdays. More info to come!
⭐ Registration: Wintervention begins the first week of November and will finish the last week of January. Reservations are made by appointment only and are first come, first served.
🏂 Snowsmart: This program offers an individualized assessment of your strength, flexibility, balance, and symmetry as it pertains to skiing or riding. A joint screen of your knees, hips, and spine will be performed followed by a series of six functional ride-specific tests. Individuals will then be evaluated using components of the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). Dysfunctional movement patterns will be identified and treated. Overall limb flexibility and strength/power will also be analyzed
These tests are very objective and provide immediate feedback regarding a rider’s fitness. Following testing, an Injury Risk Profile will be provided and personalized snow-specific exercises will be given.
Using the latest evidence-based research, your therapist will tune your program to coincide with the significant findings found in your evaluation and tailor them to your sport.
There will be a packet provided to all participants to enhance their training experience!

Technology Thursday - Force Plates 🤩How do they work? The wireless force mat allows us to see a patient's weight distribution during a number of functional movements including a squat, single-leg balance, and jump tests. After stepping on the force mat the client is able to see both a video display of their own movement and a 'heat map' of how much pressure they are putting through each limb during an exercise.
👀How do we use the data?
This information can be extremely helpful in the rehab process and ensure we are using our affected leg after surgery, injury, or even find balance deficits following a concussion.
If you feel off-balance in exercise or are recovering from an injury, having the BodiTrak as a feedback tool can help you perform exercises with confidence again! Pair that with a knowledgable and dedicated physical therapist and that's a recipe for success😍
