Happy Bike Month! 🚲 Portland continues to lead the way with one of the highest percentages of bike commuters in the country and hundreds of miles of bikeways, including protected bike lanes that make getting around easier and safer. Biking is a great way to support long-term fitness, improve heart health, build healthy routines, and enjoy more movement throughout the day. Whether it’s your commute, a workout, or just a ride around the city, every mile counts! 🌿

The team that keeps it all moving — hello from our physical therapists!

Move More This May! 🌿💪

This month, we’ll be sharing fun and simple ways to stay active throughout the day while building healthy habits that fit into your everyday routine. Small movements can make a big difference — let’s get moving together!

Our physical therapist Kaylan absolutely loves hitting the slopes—when she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find her skiing and staying active out on the mountain! 🎿

A little bit of what our front desk does outside of work to stay active!

Chasing goals and soaking in the views 🌄🏃‍♀️ PT Ellen stays active by jogging, racing for that extra motivation, and mixing it up with futsal and hikes along the way! Movement isn’t just part of her routine—it’s what keeps her inspired, energized, and loving every step of the journey 💪✨

Kicking off April and our Spring Into Movement series with our very own physical therapist, Ryan 🚴‍♂️🌸

Ryan has been biking his whole life, but really got into it during grad school—and he hasn’t slowed down since! These days, you’ll often find him cruising around with one of his kiddos riding on the back 🚲👶

When he’s not treating patients, Ryan loves staying active by biking, getting outside with his family, and making movement part of everyday life ☀️

As we wrap up March—after learning all about the different muscle groups—it’s time to put everything together! Now that we’ve covered muscles throughout the body, here are some compound movements that target multiple muscle groups at once. More bang for your buck! 💪

Strong from the ground up 💪

Your lower body is your foundation—whether you’re running, lifting, or just moving through daily life. Here’s a quick breakdown of the key players:

✨ Quadriceps: power your knee extension (think walking, squatting, standing up)
✨ Hamstrings: help bend your knee and control movement
✨ Glutes: stabilize your hips and drive strength in almost everything you do
✨ Calves: support balance, push-off, and ankle stability

When these muscles work together, movement becomes more efficient, powerful, and injury-resistant 🙌

Don’t skip leg day… your body will thank you later 😉
