Stay Healthy South Sound

Since opening in 2007, Penrose Physical Therapy has had one mission: listen to patients and help them achieve lifelong results. In this episode of Stay Healthy South Sound, Dr. Jennifer Penrose shares how that mission is shaping the clinic’s next chapter as the recovery destination of the South Sound.

She explains why pairing physical therapy with regenerative therapies like shockwave, EMTT, and StimPod are proving to be best in class, and gives an inside look at the Recovery & Longevity Lounge, with hyperbaric oxygen, Pulse PEMF, red light, infrared sauna, and compression therapy.

Along the way, Dr. Penrose shares what she’s learning alongside doctors at regenerative medicine conferences, research from Europe on EMTT, and patient stories that show what’s possible. That includes one patient who went from feeling like they were walking on broken glass to walking on cotton.

Aging well is a decision you can make today. If you feel stuck or have been told there’s nothing more you can do, book a free consult and explore your options.

Are aches and stiffness just part of getting older? Not so fast. In this episode of Stay Healthy South Sound, Dr. Jennifer Penrose of Penrose Physical Therapy breaks down the most common myths about aging and what you can do instead.

She shares her favorite daily habit, “exercise snacks,” short bursts of movement that keep your body loose and your joints happy. She also explains why you don’t need an injury or surgery to benefit from physical therapy, and how a simple stretching routine helps you hold on to the mobility you have.

Finally, Dr. Penrose tackles the belief that surgery is the only real fix. She talks about what an MRI may not tell you and shares a patient story that shows there are often more options than people realize.

You’ve probably seen hyperbaric chambers on social media or heard about athletes using them. But what actually happens inside one, and who is it for?

In this episode of Stay Healthy South Sound, we take a closer look at hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). We talk about how breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber works, why people use it to support recovery, and what a session feels like from start to finish. If you’ve been curious but weren’t sure where to start, this one’s for you.

HBOT is now available in the new Recovery & Longevity Lounge at Penrose & Associates Physical Therapy in Lacey. Learn more at penrosept.com or call (360) 456-1444.

Knee pain often comes with x-rays showing arthritis and the dreaded "bone on bone" statement. But what does that really mean and what can you do that can avoid surgery or pain pills or injections? Actually, many are surprised that PT and regenerative therapies like shockwave and EMTT can be very helpful. A landmark study by Dr. Gerdesmeyer I will link here: it is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of EMTT on patients suffering from chronic degenerative joint and bone conditions. We are so proud to offer the community options that are transforming lives!
