We always enjoy getting out into our community and meeting the great people who help keep Arlington moving!

Dr. Ujjwal recently visited Brazen Fitness and had the pleasure of meeting Coach and Manager Elise. Elise was incredibly welcoming and took the time to show us around, share more about their programs, and tell us about the community they’ve built at Brazen.

It’s always great to connect with people who share the same passion for helping others become healthier, stronger, and more confident.
We’re excited to stay connected with Elise and the Brazen Fitness team and hopefully find opportunities to work together, support their members, and give back to our local community.

Arlington has been our home for more than 12 years, and relationships like these are what community is all about. We’re proud to be part of it and always happy to connect, collaborate, and support one another.

Building strong relationships in our local community!

Dr. Ujjwal recently had the opportunity to visit CrossFit Adaptation, located just about half a mile from our MSR clinic. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of helping and supporting several CrossFit Adaptation members with their injuries, rehab, and return to training.

A big thank you to Coach Amy for taking the time to show us around the facility and share more about their community. It was great to see such a welcoming, family-owned CrossFit gym right in our neighborhood.

At MSR, we believe a strong community is built when local businesses, coaches, healthcare providers, athletes, and families support one another. We want to do more than provide physical therapy—we want to be a resource for the people and organizations that make Arlington such a great place to live, train, and compete.
If you’re a local gym, coach, sports team, or community organization, we’d love to connect. Let’s find ways to work together, support our athletes, and build a stronger and healthier Arlington community.

🧠 MSR Clinical Skills Lab | Learning. Collaboration. Better Patient Care.
Another outstanding Clinical Skills Lab at MMA & Sports Rehab!
We were honored to welcome Dr. Michael Auriemma, MD, from Impact Sports & Spine, for an excellent clinical seminar with our MSR team. Dr. Auriemma is a longtime friend of Dr. Ujjwal and a highly respected physician specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of sports and musculoskeletal injuries, including ultrasound-guided procedures.
Our team thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and, especially, the interactive Q&A. We had great discussions about:
🔹 Rehab considerations following prolotherapy, PRP, and regenerative/stem-cell–based treatments
🔹 How PTs can optimize rehabilitation before and after these procedures
🔹 Improving communication and collaboration between physicians and physical therapists
🔹 Working together to provide a seamless continuum of care for our patients
One of our biggest takeaways: Exceptional patient care requires exceptional communication.
When physicians and physical therapists communicate, collaborate, and share the same goal, our patients benefit.
A huge thank you to Dr. Auriemma for sharing his time, clinical expertise, and practical insights with our team. We truly enjoyed having you at MSR!
Learning never stops at MSR. 💪📚

🏃‍♂️🔥 FIRST RUN AFTER ACL SURGERY!

A HUGE milestone—but returning to running isn’t just about the timeline.

Before we give the green light, we assess:
✅ Range of motion
✅ Pain & swelling
✅ Quad & hamstring strength
✅ Functional testing & single-leg control
✅ Overall readiness to handle impact

He’s worked incredibly hard to earn this moment. 💪

First run ✅ Next step: keep building toward RETURN TO SPORT! 🚀

🎉 FUN at MSR! 🎉
Work hard, learn together, and have fun together! 💪😂
Our MSR team took a little break for some team-building with a competitive game of Heads Up! There were plenty of laughs, great energy, and even better camaraderie.
And the champion? 🏆 Dr. Lexi takes the win! 👏😂
Moments like these remind us that a strong team isn’t just built through great patient care and clinical excellence—it’s also built through connection, laughter, and enjoying the people you work with.
Great team. Great energy. Great culture. That’s MSR. ❤️
