Gather what goes into this month's newsletter
This tool builds the Resolve Physical Therapy email newsletter. It is used once a month, by one person, to produce one email to the clinic's mailing list. This first page collects what goes into the issue. Nothing is sent from this page, and nothing here is final — Claude writes the draft, and you read all of it on the next page before anything goes out.
- Pick this month's topic. The health article the newsletter is built around. Choose one from the list, or press Random.
- Add the clinic spotlight. Something that actually happened at the clinic this month, typed into the box in your own words. If nothing happened, leave the box empty and a pre-written piece is used instead.
- Name this month's nonprofit. Just the name. Claude researches it, writes the section, and builds a printable flyer. You confirm the facts it found before it ships.
- Add photos. Optional. Use a real photo from the clinic if you have one, pick a stock photo if you don't, or use no photo at all.
Read the draft and fix the wording
Claude has written the whole newsletter from what you entered on page 1. Your job on this page is to read every section and change any wording you don't like. This page changes how the newsletter reads, not what it is about — to change the topic, the spotlight or the charity, go back to page 1 and the draft is rewritten. Nothing is sent from this page either.
- Read the whole email, top to bottom. This is the only page where you read it as a document rather than checking it. Claude wrote it, so it needs a real read, not a skim.
- Change any wording you want. Click straight into the text and type, or use the rewrite buttons. The four ways to edit are listed below.
- Check anything that names a real person, date, price or service. Those are the parts Claude can get wrong in a way that reads perfectly well.
October is the month the trails are at their best and the snow isn't here yet. It's also the month we'd most like to talk you into a little preparation.
Most of the knee injuries we see in January are set up in October, by not doing very much.
Why equipment fixed almost everything except your ACL
Equipment has made skiing dramatically safer over the last thirty years. Overall injury rates have fallen by more than half. One number didn't move: ACL tears.
That tells you something useful. The injuries equipment could solve have largely been solved. What's left is about how well your legs absorb load on a bad landing, and that responds to training rather than gear.
Eight weeks is enough time to change it before opening day.
Move of the month: the slow step-down
Stand on a step. Lower one foot toward the floor over a slow count of four, tap lightly, and come back up. The descent is the point, not the return.
Many people find their control gives out well before their strength does, which is usually the more useful finding.
General information, not a personal recommendation. If you're recovering from something, or it hurts, skip it and ask us first.
Five years of Kasey
Kasey hit his five-year mark with us this month. If you've been through a post-op knee here, there's a good chance he's the reason you got your stairs back.
Street Dog Hero, and the bin at the front desk
There's a collection box in the waiting room through the end of October. Everything in it goes to Street Dog Hero, the Bend nonprofit that rescues dogs here and overseas, and rehomes them.
The flyer below lists what they've asked for. Gently used is genuinely fine for most of it, and you don't need an appointment to drop something off. Come in, leave it, carry on with your day.

Check the final version, then send it
This is the last page. It shows the automatic checks, any warnings, and the three boxes that have to be ticked before the newsletter can go out. The Send button on this page sends to the whole mailing list and cannot be undone, so nothing here should be rushed.
- Send yourself a test and open it on your phone. A real inbox on a real phone is the only reliable way to see how it will actually look. The preview on this screen is close, but it is not the same thing.
- Read the warnings. Anything flagged needs a decision from you — either go back to page 2 and fix it, or tick the box saying you've seen it and want to send anyway.
- Tick the boxes. The Send button stays switched off until every box shown is ticked.

⚠ Repeated content
A clinic spotlight can’t run again inside three months, and this one did. Change it, or tick the box in your sign-off below to send it anyway. Editing the spotlight section clears this on its own.
