Black Star Physical Therapy and Wellness

09/07/2026

Friday I had every intention of working out.
Instead I was depleted from a full day of patient care, so I skipped it, napped on the couch, and watched a movie with my kids.
Saturday morning I got up early and had one of my best strength sessions in weeks.
Training tired without the right fuel doesn’t make you stronger. It makes you injured.
Rest is not the opposite of progress. It’s part of it.
New blog post is up. Check it out

Earlier this week, my son had something strange going on with his eye.

I see you TaQuinda Marie putting in work and showing others what’s possible!

Quick recap of last month’s wellness day party that she insisted I be a vendor at. Thank you always for supporting and promoting my small business.

On this day it was day 32 of her 75 Medium challenge. A 45-minute workout every single day, plus a full class with 30+ people. Her body was talking, back pain, tight legs, and she knew exactly what she needed.

She stopped by the Black Star PT & Wellness recovery booth at the Wellness Day Party for a full session: assisted stretching, cupping, and IASTM on her thighs, calves, and lower back.

Her words: “”I feel 100% better. I feel great, and I can go to the gym for practice.””

Consistency like T. Marie’s takes a toll on the body, and recovery is what keeps you showing up day 32, day 62, day 75. skipping recovery is never the easy option.

Pushing hard and feeling it? Let’s get you booked.

Meet Alexxus 🩷

After a tough workout (arms, legs, back, everything sore), she stopped by for a session with Natasha, combining IASTM and cupping.

The result? She said it best: "the blood flow I feel right now... I feel a little lighter, like I have more energy."

This is exactly why I built Black Star PT & Wellness the way I did, recovery shouldn't cost you your whole day. My sessions run 30–60 minutes, and I bring the table to wherever you already are:
📍 Home
📍 Your next fitness or wellness event

No waiting rooms. No driving across town. Just real recovery, on your schedule. ⭐

Sore from your last workout? Let's fix that.

It's not just hot flashes. 🥵

The musculoskeletal symptoms of perimenopause are the ones nobody talks about. Joint stiffness, muscle weakness, shoulder pain, knee aches, plantar fasciitis showing up in your body before you even realize what's happening.

Your body is not breaking. It is shifting. And knowing that difference changes everything. 🖤

Foundation at 40+ is officially here.

A 6-week joint mobility and core strength program designed specifically for women like you navigating perimenopause, waking up stiff, and ready to feel better in your body. 15 minutes a day. Built for your real life.

Rating excuses my clients give me for skipping their mobility work

After 21+ years as a physical therapist, trust me, I’ve heard them ALL.

Some are understandable. Some are questionable. And some deserve a solid 0/10 😂

The good news? Mobility work doesn’t have to be long, painful, or complicated. A few intentional minutes still count.

Be honest which excuse is yours?
