August Slipped Away
August Updates

Happy August!
HOPEFULLY August doesn’t slip away into a moment of time because I think we all want to take in the last month of summer and let it last as long as we possibly can. I don’t have a ton of updates coming your way for August. Hours are staying the same, and I’m still offering dry needling and packages for all current and new patients.
Favorites
my favorite electrolytes to get me through these HOT HOT HOT summer days (if you are working out outside you almost for sure need to be taking in electrolytes) - you can also get these directly from me in the clinic! (:
July brought some of THE WORST books I’ve read in years (I DNF’d 2…) so here is my favorite summer read and it centers around Labor Day so feels very August
And my favorite rehab tool at the moment ESPECIALLY for my runners and OTF athletes
Since I don’t have any updates, I just want to remind you that if you are doing a summer sport (running, cross country skiing, pickleball, swimming, etc.) you should be incorporating a strength training program in some capacity. Especially for my women, strength training can help prevent osteoporosis and help you FEEL BETTER as you age. Strength training does not need to be a complicated program, even just 30 minutes twice a week of lifting weights can make a HUGE difference. If you want a personalized strength program, I love to write them and you can book that appointment here.
However, if you don’t want to use me, I also have a lot of connections with a lot of personal trainers and group fitness gyms where we could find a good fit for you. I am always happy to be that resource for you.
As always, I am so grateful to be a part of your team and a part of your journey in moving and feeling the best you can. I am so appreciative of you all and for your support of me and my business. I am always so thankful for this job and that I get to do what I do each and every day. If you are willing, I would more than appreciate a google review with your experience so that others can continue to find me, as well.
See you soon,
Dr. Maggie Koethe

Happy (almost) July!
A little early with this newsletter but there are some excited things I wanted to get to you! Let’s start with some current faves and things on my wishlist (because my birthday is coming up in August and my husband gets these newsletters, hi Max!)
Favorites
fhe BEST top for long runs (for the gals) - so much room for gels and a soft flask, truly life changing.
favorite easy protein drink - dark chocolate is my fave and it’s good with an iced coffee too!
favorite book from June and another one because I had two favorite books this month and I cant choose! (please talk to me about these books at your next visit, I have so much to say!)
Wishlist
more of these running shorts because they’re so good !!!!
the BEST socks, worth every penny, I need them all in every color and every style
Let’s move onto more important things now like UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES !!!!
I am now offering Dry Needling, this can be done in conjunction with a full session or a standalone session.
Packages are still available in 4, 6, 8, and 10 pack options with lower price points.
Starting August 1st, I will be increasing the prices for all sessions.
My goal has always been to be the best provider I can and give you the absolute highest level of care. Over the past two years I have taken 3 new certification courses and honed in on more research literature in order to continue to deliver the best results possible for you - the patient.
Beyond that, as you probably already know first-hand, life in general has gotten more expensive and I have not been spared from that professionally or personally. These price changes are necessary in order to keep up with those increases. If you have questions please feel free to reach out to me directly. I'd be happy to discuss how we could still get you the care you need either by utilizing a package or by changing the duration of your session to a shorter time.
As always, I am so grateful to be a part of your team and a part of your journey in moving and feeling the best you can. I am so appreciative of you all and for your support of me and my business. I am always so thankful for this job and that I get to do what I do each and every day.
See you soon,

Now Offering Dry Needling
My weekend as a human pin cushion…
6/22/25
Hey Hey from Denver, CO!!!
I just completed a course in dry needling and spent the weekend being poked at with needles and fully resembled a human pin cushion. (kind of…)
Human pin cushion may be an exaggeration, BUT the good news is I am now certified in Functional Dry Needling, meaning dry needling is now something that we can use in the clinic as another tool to help get you back to doing the things you love doing. I wanted to answer some questions you might have about this modality and if you have more please feel free to reach out to me via email, text or call.
What is Dry Needling?
“Dry Needling is a skilled technique; using filiform needles to penetrate the skin and/or underlying tissues to affect change in the body structures and functions for the evaluation and management of neuromusculoskeletal conditions, pain, movement impairments and disability” This is NOT acupuncture. Dry needling focuses on muscular placements versus meridians like you may often see in an acupuncture setting. The goal of functional dry needling is to make a positive change whether it be improved range of motion, flexibility, strength or performance by treating an area with a goal of making an impact on one or more body systems.
Why did I spend my weekend getting this certification and how does it differ from other muscle work techniques I am already using for you in the clinic?
Dry needling can get much deeper and affect the muscle DIRECTLY and can invoke change a little bit quicker than some of the manual muscle work can that I usually do. Usually we will hook the needles up to electrical stimulation and that will help elicit different changes we want to see by either helping a muscle “fire” that has been a little lazy lately or get muscles to relax that have been a little overactive for some time. It depends on the goal of the treatment but usually the results are pretty immediate. I have had my own positive experiences with dry needling within my own journey and I have found it to be incredibly beneficial with certain things I see e often in clinic and wanted to be able to offer it to my patients, as well.
Are there risks associated?
For sure, but they are relatively rare and minor and before I dry needle anyone, we will be going through a separate consent form to make sure you are fully aware of the risks and feel safe prior to us doing this technique.
Will EVERYONE be dry needled by Dr. Maggie now?
Probably not. Just like any treatment modality, it depends on what your needs are and what our goals of treatment are. If you don’t feel safe or comfortable then it is a 100% absolute NO to dry needling because your comfort and safety always always come first. However, it is a fun tool to use and can help make some impressive changes so it might be offered to you. But once again, it is YOUR comfort level and what you want/need so we will discuss that together.
As always, if you have questions and want more info, please feel free to reach out, I would love to answer more questions if you have them. I am excited to have this as another way we can help get you back to moving and feeling the best you possibly can.
See you soon,
Dr. Maggie Koethe
