Spring break season has arrived here in the DC area, and for many active adults, that means hitting the slopes, heading to the beach, or hopping on a plane for some much-needed downtime. But if you’re currently in physical therapy, staying consistent with your rehab while traveling can feel like a challenge.
Hamstring strains are among the most common injuries for athletes, especially those involved in sprinting, jumping, or cutting movements. If you’ve ever felt that sudden pull in the back of your thigh, you know how frustrating and limiting a hamstring strain can be.
When it comes to orthotics, one of the most common questions we get in physical therapy is:
“Should I use orthotics — or not? Will they help, or could they make things worse?”
If you’ve spent time in a gym or around physical therapists, you’ve likely heard the advice:

This myth has been around for years, but the reality is—your knees should go over your toes—especially during physical therapy and rehab.
Are pain and stiffness holding you back from running your best? If you’re tired of reaching for Advil like it’s candy and feeling like something is just not right with your stride, it’s time to consider a more proactive approach—physical therapy tailored specifically for runners.
At Cohen Health and Performance (CHP), we are frequently asked a critical question when someone first seeks our help for pain and limitations interfering with their active lifestyle: Do you accept health insurance?
This is a completely reasonable question, but the answer is more nuanced than a simple yes or no.
