Considering Knee Replacement??

EVERY PT's DREAM😁

Sometimes it can't be avoided, but how fulfilling is it to help someone avoid surgery?

Even Double Knee Replacements! Age, severity and activity level are often main decision-making factors when it comes to deciding on total replacement surgeries.

If you are older, you are less like to heal on your own...they say

If you're damage is too severe, you are unlikely to heal ... they say

If you want to remain active, you have no choice... they say

Well, I say times are changing. Technology is changing. And mindset is changing.

The day my client, who was on the verge of getting DOUBLE Knee replacements, came home from visiting her native country to report she was able to walk freely & enjoy her trip... I couldn't hide my smile. 😁

When her son told me they are no longer considering surgery because her results were so good ... I nearly jumped for joy. Victory!!

Don't let age, severity, or desire to remain highly active entice you to surgery before trying all there is! My Stem Cell Activation Program has saved this lovely, active grandma from going under the knife. And it could possibly do the same for you!

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...
