Sometimes the simplest habits are the most impactful. In a recent GQ Magazine feature on habits to embrace and ditch in 2026, ATI’s Clinic Director Brandon Postel, PT, DPT, OCS highlights how regular stretching and brief movement breaks support long-term mobility. Maintaining joint range of motion and soft tissue adaptability can help reduce the risk of mobility loss with age and interrupt the stiffness cycles associated with prolonged sitting or standing. At ATI, our clinicians routinely integrate these practical strategies into patient education and care plans, helping people protect function, stay active, and move through their day with more comfort and confidence.

Many workout injuries aren’t about if someone exercises, but how they do it. This blog takes a clinician’s lens on common training injuries and outlines prevention strategies we can integrate into patient education, return-to-activity plans, and long-term movement coaching. A timely reminder that consistency, load management, and technique matter just as much as motivation. 👉https://lnkd.in/gm6reZJe #ATIpt #PhysicalTherapy #Injuryprevention #FitnessGoals

Workday habits play a major role in how often patients experience lower back pain. In a recent LA Weekly feature, our VP of Clinical Development Tom Denninger, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT shares how prolonged static positions at work can contribute to tissue stiffness, loss of hydration, and increased discomfort in the lumbar spine. He highlights practical strategies such as varying positions throughout the day, incorporating light movement, and evaluating workplace ergonomics to reduce strain and support healthier movement patterns. At ATI, clinicians blend this type of education with individualized plans so patients can better tolerate their workday demands and reduce the impact of lower back pain on function and productivity.

Inclement weather and travel challenges can be disruptive, but they don’t have to disrupt PT outcomes. Through CONNECT by ATI, patients can access one-on-one virtual physical therapy with a licensed clinician, receiving evaluation, guided exercise, and real-time progression from home. Patients who use CONNECT recover up to 35 percent faster and spend up to 40 percent less compared to those who complete their therapy entirely in person, making virtual PT a powerful option for both access and value. For patients, CONNECT helps maintain momentum when weather, mobility, or schedule constraints make in-clinic visits difficult. For clinicians and partners, it supports continuity of care, reduces gaps in treatment, and extends ATI’s reach into communities that might otherwise face limited access.

For many patients, fluctuating pain is one of the most confusing parts of their MSK journey. When symptoms feel different from day to day, it is easy for them to assume that their condition is worsening, even when that is not the case. As clinicians, we understand that changes in pain often reflect nervous system sensitivity, stress, sleep, and loading patterns, not simply structural damage. Helping patients understand why their “alarm system” can get louder or quieter over time is a key part of reducing fear, improving engagement, and supporting adherence to a progressive plan of care. At ATI, clinicians are supported to blend clear pain education with individualized evaluation and treatment, so patients gain both knowledge and a path forward that fits their daily lives. If you want to practice in an environment where pain education and evidence-informed MSK care are built into everyday practice, ATI provides the scale and support to do that work. #ATIpt #PhysicalTherapy #GrowWithTheBest #MSKCare #PainScience

Momentum isn’t created in a single moment. It’s built through consistency, reflection, and action.
