Please join us in congratulating Whitney Neely on completing our COMT Program and passing the Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist exam! 🎉

A Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT) is a physical therapist who has completed advanced training in evaluating and treating musculoskeletal conditions using specialized hands-on techniques. This training emphasizes clinical reasoning, identifying underlying tissue dysfunction, improving joint and soft tissue mobility, and developing individualized treatment plans to restore movement and function.

Led by David Sheer, DPT, MOMT, FAAOMPT, our COMT Program consists of eight comprehensive courses covering spine and extremity examination and treatment, manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription and progression, connective tissue techniques, and screening for other conditions that may contribute to a patient's symptoms, followed by a comprehensive exam. This extensive training helps clinicians take a comprehensive approach to patient care and make informed treatment decisions.

Join us in celebrating Whitney for her hard work, dedication to continued learning, and commitment to clinical excellence by becoming a COMT! 👏🎉💙

Today, we were honored to present our big check to the American Cancer Society! 💙

Over the past few months, our STAR clinics across Tennessee and Arkansas came together to raise money through creative fundraisers that brought our teams, patients, and communities together to support a great cause.

Together, we raised $29,859.32 to support the fight against cancer! These funds will support the American Cancer Society's mission to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, ensuring everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

Thank you to our STAR teams for putting their hearts into this effort and to everyone who donated, participated, and helped us make a difference in the fight against cancer! 🎗️

Our Springfield clinic collected donations for the American Cancer Society with a fun team competition! 🎗️

Patients donated coins into water bottles, one for each team member. At the end, the team members with the most money in their bottles got a little... wet! 💦😂

Thank you to all our amazing patients and community members who donated, supported this effort, and helped us raise money for such a meaningful cause! 💙

What does it mean to practice what you preach? Sometimes, it means getting out of bed at 5 AM to train for a marathon. 🏃‍♂️

When Mark Mahan got his PT license and started working at our Clarksville North clinic, he told himself, “Life is never going to slow down from here, and I want to prove that I can still do hard things as a full-time physical therapist.”

So, he found a marathon and went for it.

After months of balancing work with early-morning training, Mark took on the 7 Bridges Marathon in Chattanooga this weekend and crossed the finish line. We’re proud of the dedication, discipline, and determination it took to get there!

At STAR, we believe in practicing what we preach and challenging ourselves to keep moving forward. Mark definitely put that into action. 💙

Congratulations, Mark! 👏

PT MYTH vs. FACT! 👀

❌ MYTH: You only need physical therapy for recovery after surgery or for serious injuries.

✅ FACT: Physical therapists work with people with a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and goals, from managing pain and increasing mobility to building strength, improving balance, enhancing quality of life, and maintaining independence. 💪

Pain does not always mean surgery. 💙

Movement matters at every age! 💙

Physical therapy is about more than recovering from an injury. It’s about building strength, improving balance, maintaining mobility, and helping you stay independent!

Whether it’s walking with confidence, keeping up with family, or simply making everyday activities easier, PT can improve your quality of life!

Because better movement means more confidence to keep doing what you love! ⭐️
