Want to Increase Your Chances of Getting Over an Injury for Good?

Want to Increase Your Chances of Getting Over an Injury for Good?

In preparation for a conversation with a potential Corporate Wellness client, the research revealed 3 common themes.  Though they were studies on likelihood of a worker to return to work after an injury, the really do apply to all of us.  

I see it all the time, delayed return to sport... to activity... to life after an injury.  

And the recurrence of injury or a related injury is all too great.

What these studies found were 3 main factors that significantly influence the speed of recovery & long-term success of a rehab routine.  

1) Quick access to "Physiotherapy"

2) Continuous Support from the therapist 

3) The Time it Takes to Resolve is < 3months

How often does that actually happen? 

Think about it... 

❓ How quickly do you typically get into see the Dr... get a referral...and start working with a Physical Therapist or like specialist? 

❓When you leave therapy, how easy is it to access your therapist for questions, clarifications, or reinforcement? 

❓How long did it take from Day 1 of injury to return to work, sport, or daily activities? 

Too bad this type of service doesn't exist in reality🤔 

But, wait... it does!   

My PT-on-Demand service was created to meet these 3 very things!

We Are ALL Asymmetrical - Why it Matters

Have you noticed a harder time with your front splits on one side? Or maybe it’s always been a struggle for you to get your turn-out on one side? No matter how much you stretch and strengthen, you will not achieve symmetry without compensation (which leads to injury). Here’s why … Our bodies are NOT symmetrical! Take a look at these images of different systems in our bodies. Notice how NONE of them are exactly the same on the left as the right. Illustration from Anatomy & Physiology, Connexions Website.

The Diaphragm - Actions - Innervation - TeachMeAnatomy The difference in the diaphragm dome height and attachment sites make every human better at inhaling into our left lungs and better at emptying our right lungs.

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings (Part 3)

So far, we have discussed the consequences of OVER STRETCHING and the role of the NERVOUS SYSTEM in treating and preventing hamstring injuries. Now it's time to dive in to the ROTATIONAL component of our hamstrings. We cannot treat the hamstring group in just one plane of motion. Look at the diagram and notice that there are some hamstring muscles that attach to the inside (medial) side of the knee, and others that attach to the outside (lateral) side of the knee. When working together, the medial and lateral hamstrings will act in a coordinated manner to bend the knee and extend the hip. Individually, the medial hamstrings turn the thigh inward (Internal Rotation or IR) and the lateral hamstrings turn the thigh outward (External Rotation or ER). This means that the hamstrings are also a crucial player in side-to-side and rotational movements. On the same lines, the hamstrings will act at the upper attachment at the pelvis. The medial hamstrings will pull the p

SoftWave Therapy - The Latest Technology in Regenerative Medicine

There is a new "secret weapon" hitting the Medical and Performance industries - SoftWave Therapy. It is the latest technology in Regenerative Medicine and has been tested extensively in Europe for the past decade. Recently making it's way into the U.S., SoftWave is quickly taking hold. We have been seeing exciting results with this device in our office over the past months, both immediate and long-term. Read on for a summary of what makes SoftWave so unique and effective! What is SoftWave? Softwave Therapy essentially “tricks” the body into thinking a fresh trauma has occurred. A series of pulses are applied to painful areas, which thin the cell membranes and alert the brain. This kick-starts the natural healing process without actually causing trauma . This response includes releasing RNA, attracting Stem Cells, increasing circulation, modulating inflammation, releasing growth factors involved in tissue regeneration, and forming new blood vessels
