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!

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 med...

Therapists Need Advice, Too!

PT WITH NAGGING HIP PAIN I received a message from a physical therapist colleague & active mom asking for advice. She had been dealing with some hip pain that seemed to have started when she started increasing her strength training regime. My "R hip, feels like "impingement," but also trigger points in piriformis and adductors. I just can't get them to shut off!" Spoken like a true PT 😅 I gave her pictures of 2 new exercises to try via messenger. 5 DAYS LATER, I receive this: "Messaging to tell you you're my hero. That seated stretch is AH-mazing. I have worked out all week with zero pain." It really CAN be that simple! I have recently launched the Pain Relief Coaching program to offer you all the same Quick, Easy, and Effective advice.

How are Airway and Posture Related?

HOW ARE AIRWAY & POSTURE RELATED? When we think of "airway, we think of life-and-death situations and sleep apnea. But, there is so much more to our ability to pull air into our lungs freely and evenly and to expel carbon dioxide. Our alignment and muscle tone play a pivotal role in our ability to maintain a symmetrical, un-restricted airflow. You see, the respiratory system is a bo dy-wide, interconnected and closed system. There are often clues our body is giving us that there is a restriction somewhere to free, full airflow. Often times, the restrictions are located quite a distance from our nose and mouth! Key Points First of all, it is not common knowledge, but we actually have 4 diaphragms (some even say 5) that all influence each other. They act as one closed, pressurized system. If there is an issue with the function of one of the diaphragms, it will influence the others. Another key concept is that our main diaphra...
