October is National Physical Therapy Month, and at Athletic Advantage Physical Therapy, we’re celebrating what sets us apart: mobility.
Many think PT is just about strength or pain relief—but we know mobility is the foundation. Without it, strength can’t be fully expressed, pain lingers, and movement breaks down. That’s why we developed our Reset Method, a unique approach to restoring movement, correcting compensations, and giving your body the freedom it needs.
Even something as simple as a pushup or reaching overhead requires mobility first. Without it, those movements feel harder, less efficient, and sometimes even painful. You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit from better mobility—you just need a body that wants to move freely.
When mobility improves with our Reset Method:
You move with less effort.
You reduce injury risk.
You recover faster.
You feel more confident in your body.
Top Questions About Mobility & the Reset Method
Why mobility over strength? Strength without mobility is like a powerful car with locked wheels—you can’t use it. Mobility makes strength functional, and the Reset Method unlocks it.
How do I know if my mobility is limited? Stiffness, pain, or difficulty with everyday movements—like bending down, getting off the floor, or even doing a pushup—are signs. Our Reset Method helps restore smooth, efficient motion.
Is it just for athletes? Nope! Mobility and the Reset Method benefit everyone—from parents carrying kids, to runners logging miles, to anyone wanting to move freely as they age.
