June/July 2025 Newsletter (R2R, S2N, TCM)
June 7th A2 Physical Therapy & Athletics was well-represented at the Rainier to Ruston Relay, an epic run starting in Carbonado and finishing along the beautiful Ruston Way. This event is a favorite for many in our community — and our staff are no exception!
Ben, a seasoned runner and long-time Rainier to Ruston participant, has run the race since its inception. Rain or shine (or snow!), you’ll often spot him running through Tacoma or Gig Harbor during his lunch breaks. This year, he and his brother crushed the course as a two-person team, finishing first — an incredible accomplishment that reflects both grit and experience. If you’re looking for a physical therapist who truly understands the runner’s body, Ben is your guy!
Ryanne and Jenilee joined forces with fellow A2 Athletics gym members on a six-person team — a crew that’s made this race a fun annual tradition. Ryanne in particular has been crushing running goals lately — she completed her first full marathon last month at the Tacoma City Marathon! We’re so proud of her dedication and drive. Both she and Jenilee continue to lead by example, always chasing movement and wellness and truly practicing what they preach in both the clinic and the Athletics gym.
We’re proud of our team for embracing the challenge, supporting each other, and representing A2 with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of miles.

"I found A2 Physical therapy was able to give me the help I needed in the exercises and cupping they gave me to loosen up my stiff joints and muscles that I could hardly move due to surgery, stiffness, and soreness. I think A2 PT are running a top notch business. The therapists that worked with and on me were extremely courteous. Molly was so helpful in my therapy and an absolute delight to work with. She got me back to 100% in just 4 weeks and my visits were 1 day a week. This was my first experience working with PT’s and it was totally a wonderful experience. Thank you A2 Physical Therapy and thank you Ms. Molly Daugherty for working with me and making my recovery and stability improve so quickly. Should I need PT again I will call you. Again many thanks."

"A2 has been wonderful in helping me with my elbow pain. The skilled staff has attacked my ailment with an array of methods. I came in with 6-7/10 pain and after a few weeks my elbow is down to 1-2/10. The environment is warm and welcoming. The staff is friendly and very skilled. They take the time to listen and formulate a personalized plan. One of the tools they use is the Neubie. I have had amazing results using it. Its ability to target and safely load a specific area is very helpful. Overall, A2 is amazing and I would highly recommend it to any and all!"

"A2 staff are friendly and informative. All my questions and concerns were addressed. I looked forward to my appointments because even if I didn’t see my progress, because it was so gradual, the staff here made sure to celebrate every move forward. I thought I’d always have a limp/never recover fully, but I was wrong!"
