💙 Meet Janice! 🤍

Next up in our Meet Midland PT series is Janice Reinke, Office Support!

Janice joined the Midland Physical Therapy family in December 2020, bringing with her more than 30 years of experience in office management and computer services and a degree from Northwood University.

If you’ve spent much time at our front desk, you’ve probably gotten to know Janice! She helps keep our days running smoothly, supports our patients and clinical team, and — most importantly — helps make our office the friendly, welcoming place we want it to be. One of Janice’s favorite parts of being at Midland PT is simply getting to know our patients and building relationships with them along the way. 💙

Outside of work, Janice’s favorite role is Grandma! She loves spending time with her family and especially her five grandchildren. ❤️

She’s also an animal lover and enjoys spending time with her dogs 🐾 and cat. When she’s not doing that, you might find her rock hunting, camping, or heading off on another travel adventure.

We’re so fortunate to have Janice’s experience, kindness, and friendly face as part of the Midland PT team! 💙🤍

3 Signs It Might Be Time to See a Physical Therapist

Not sure whether your ache or pain is actually worth getting checked out?

Here are three signs it might be time:

1. It’s not going away.

You’ve given it some time, but the pain or limitation keeps hanging around — or keeps coming back.

2. You’ve started changing what you do because of it.

You’re avoiding stairs, skipping workouts, changing how you walk, giving up activities you enjoy, or finding different ways to do everyday tasks.

3. It’s affecting your daily life.

Pain is interfering with work, sleep, exercise, hobbies, or simply doing the things you need and want to do.

You don’t have to wait until pain becomes unbearable before seeking help.

Physical therapy can help determine what’s contributing to the problem and create an individualized plan to help you get moving in the right direction.

💙 Meet Brittnee! 🤍

Next up in our Meet Midland PT series is Brittnee Boulton, Office Manager!

Brittnee has been part of Midland Physical Therapy since March 2008 — which means for many of our longtime patients, she’s been a familiar face around here for quite a while! What started as a high school co-op job turned into a career and a place she has truly grown up alongside. 💙

These days, Brittnee helps keep things running behind the scenes (and helps make sense of the wonderful world of health insurance 😅). Whether she’s helping with a scheduling question, sorting out an insurance issue, or just chatting with someone at the front desk, her favorite part of the job is helping people feel taken care of.

One thing Brittnee especially loves is being able to take some of the stress out of insurance and billing. She knows it can be confusing and frustrating, and if she can help patients understand what’s happening and worry a little less about the paperwork, she considers that a win!

Outside of Midland PT, Brittnee loves spending time with her husband, Tim, and their three dogs — Winston, Rocco, and LD 🐾. She’s also a proud aunt to her many nieces and nephews, loves a trip to the movie theater 🍿, and spends a lot of her free time singing and serving as a worship leader at her church. 🎤

After 18 years, there are a whole lot of memories, patients, coworkers, and friendships tied to Midland PT for Brittnee. She’s incredibly grateful that a little high school job turned into a place she gets to come every day, help people, laugh a lot, and call home away from home. 💙🤍

Why Is an Old Injury Suddenly Bothering Me Again?

“I hurt this YEARS ago. Why is it bothering me now?”

It’s a question physical therapists hear all the time.

Sometimes an old injury can become noticeable again after a change in activity, workload, strength, mobility, or even something as simple as doing more than your body has been accustomed to doing.

But pain in an area you injured years ago doesn’t automatically mean you’ve “re-injured” it or caused new damage.

A physical therapist can evaluate what’s happening now — your current movement, strength, mobility, symptoms, and activity demands — rather than assuming an old injury is entirely to blame.

Bodies change. Activities change. And sometimes your treatment needs to change, too.

💙 Meet Farrah! 🤍

Next up in our Meet Midland PT series is Farrah Pearson, LMT, GTS, CES!

Farrah brings a unique blend of clinical knowledge, hands-on experience, and performance-focused care to Midland PT. As a Licensed Massage Therapist, Graston Technique Specialist, and Corrective Exercise Specialist, her approach goes beyond a typical massage and focuses on helping each person move and function at their best.

With experience working with fighter pilots, Olympic-level athletes, and highly active individuals, Farrah specializes in targeted treatment designed to improve mobility, reduce muscular discomfort, support recovery, and address areas of chronic tension.

As a U.S. military veteran 🇺🇸, Farrah developed a firsthand understanding of the physical demands placed on the body and the importance of recovery, movement quality, and injury prevention. Her sessions are individualized to each person’s needs and goals and may incorporate deep tissue massage, myofascial release, Graston Technique, cupping, PNF stretching, and mobility or corrective exercise recommendations.

Farrah especially enjoys working with athletes and active adults, desk workers dealing with chronic tension, those with neck, shoulder, or low-back tightness, mobility limitations, overuse issues, and post-workout soreness.

We’re so excited to have Farrah’s experience, specialized skills, and individualized approach as part of the Midland PT team! 💙🤍

What Happens at Your First Physical Therapy Appointment?

Never been to physical therapy before? Here’s what you can expect.

Your first appointment isn’t just about finding out where you hurt. Your physical therapist will want to understand how the problem is affecting you.

They’ll talk with you about your symptoms, medical history, activities, and goals. Depending on what brings you in, they’ll also evaluate things like movement, strength, mobility, balance, or other areas that may be contributing to the problem.

From there, your therapist can explain what they’re finding and develop an individualized treatment plan to help you work toward your goals.

And yes — treatment can often begin during that first visit!

Whether your goal is getting back to work, returning to a sport, keeping up with your grandkids, or simply getting through the day with less discomfort, that’s what we’re working toward.

Why Doesn’t Stretching Fix My Tight Muscles?

You stretch. It feels better.

Then a few hours later… you’re tight again.

Sound familiar?

That feeling of “tightness” doesn’t always mean a muscle simply needs to be stretched more. Sometimes strength, joint mobility, movement patterns, repetitive positions, or the demands you’re placing on your body can contribute to that sensation.

That’s why endlessly stretching the same area doesn’t always solve the problem.

A physical therapist can look beyond the tight muscle itself and evaluate how your body is moving to determine what may be contributing to the problem.

Sometimes the answer isn’t more stretching — it’s figuring out why you keep feeling like you need to stretch in the first place!

💙 Meet Brandon! 🤍

We’re so fortunate to have Brandon’s wide range of knowledge, enthusiasm, and specialized skills as part of the Midland PT team! 💙🤍

Manual Therapy vs. Massage Therapy — What’s the Difference?

Manual therapy and massage therapy both involve hands-on techniques, but they have different goals, training, and applications.

Manual therapy is performed by licensed physical therapists as part of a broader rehabilitation plan. It includes a variety of skilled, hands-on techniques such as joint mobilizations, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, and manual stretching. The purpose of manual therapy is to:

- Restore joint mobility and range of motion
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Improve movement patterns and function
- Address the underlying causes of movement dysfunction

Manual therapy is often combined with exercise, movement retraining, and education to help patients recover from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions, and to improve their ability to perform daily activities.

Massage therapy is provided by licensed massage therapists and focuses primarily on the manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues. The main goals of massage therapy are to:

- Promote relaxation
- Reduce muscle tension and soreness
- Relieve stress
- Enhance general wellness

Massage therapy is generally not intended to address specific movement dysfunctions or underlying orthopedic issues.

Key Differences:
- Training: Manual therapy is performed by physical therapists with advanced education in movement science and rehabilitation. Massage therapists are trained in soft tissue techniques for relaxation and wellness.
- Purpose: Manual therapy targets specific impairments in movement and function. Massage therapy focuses on relaxation and relief of muscle tension.
- Approach: Manual therapy may involve joint and nerve techniques, while massage therapy primarily addresses muscles and soft tissues.

Manual therapy and massage therapy both use hands-on care, but manual therapy is a specialized intervention within physical therapy designed to restore movement and function, while massage therapy is primarily for relaxation and general wellness. Both can be beneficial, but they serve different roles in your health care!

🟢 MONDAY MOVEMENT MINUTE: What Is Manual Therapy?

You’ve probably heard us mention manual therapy — but what exactly does that mean?

Manual therapy refers to skilled, hands-on techniques physical therapists may use as part of treatment. Depending on your individual needs, this can include techniques directed at joints, muscles, and other soft tissues to help improve mobility, decrease pain, and improve function.

But manual therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all treatment — and it isn’t the entire treatment plan.

At Midland Physical Therapy, hands-on treatment can be combined with individualized exercise, movement, education, and other techniques based on what you need.

It’s one of the things we’re passionate about: combining skilled hands-on care with a treatment plan designed for the individual in front of us.
