Quick Exercises at the Airport?!?

Posted by Julie D

By: Bryan Munoz, PT, DPT, CSCS

It is fall season and that means back to school shopping, apple picking, the start of football season, the return of our favorite TV shows and also travel for various holidays. With all that being said, it feels like there is never enough time. Our time is spent at work, family, kids, errands, bills, vacation planning, and what ever we have left is spent relaxing even if it is just for a few minutes. We may not be able to dedicate a lot of time to health and exercise in the week and can be more difficult when traveling especially being at the airport. Instead of sitting in the waiting area for a long time, we can take a break from our phones and reading material to perform some exercises below. Give it a try and let me know what you think and if there is anything else you want us to cover and we will try our best to cover it in the coming months…remember to consult with one of our physical therapists for a thorough evaluation before trying any new exercise routines if you are having pain and difficulty with specific movements.

Understanding Commercial Insurance-Part 2

Posted by Stephen K. Churchill, PT

In the last blog, we talked about the major types of commercial insurance (Please see the previous blog). In this edition, I’d like to explain what the differences one would encounter in physical therapy provided by an ‘out of network facility’ (OON) compared to the services one would receive in an ‘in-network facility’ (IN).

Physical Therapy Cited As An Alternative to Opioids for Treatment of Pain

Posted by COR

The epidemic of opioid abuse in the United States has pushed the CDC to establish new guidelines for providers to prescribe opioids to patients with chronic pain. Among the guidelines to use restraint when prescribing these medications that cause dependency and more times than not, addiction, the CDC is also encouraging providers to try other alternatives. Physical therapy can help patients not just relieve the pain, but also manage it and improve the quality of their patients’ lives.

Total Hip Replacements

Posted by COR

By: Dr. Nicole-Bortniker-Wolfin. PT DPT

Your hip joint is a ball and socket joint, consisting of the femur (the ball) and the acetabulum (the socket). The hip is designed to withstand an incredible amount of force. In fact, an activity as simple and low impact as walking, can impart 1.3-5.8 times your body weight onto your hips!

Located between the two bones, which make up your hip joint, are articular cartilage and synovium. The synovium is a thin lining that produces fluid for the cartilage, minimizing friction and allowing for smooth movement of your bones. The articular cartilage provides a protective cushion which accepts and dissipates the forces imparted on the hip joint. These structures are crucial in maintaining hip health.

Common Athletic Injuries

Posted by COR

By: Danielle Spagnolo, PT, DPT, OCS

We are going to discuss and review chronic/overuse injuries that occur in athletes and have a direct impact on sports training and performance.

Chronic or overuse injuries develop over a period of time. A common consequence of high level training is repetitive micro-trauma to the involved tissues. Provided the bone or soft tissue gets adequate rest and nutrition, no real injury occurs. However, if the recovery period is inadequate or deficient in any way, these micro-traumas can develop into a much more involved injury. This injury takes a longer time period to heal and can subject the athlete to the detrimental side effects of inactivity.

Top Three Workstation Adjustments to Reduce Neck and Back Fatigue

Posted by COR

1. Monitor adjustment – Make sure to adjust your computer monitor so the top of the screen is at eye level so you do not feel the need to tilt your head down or up to read the screen. Monitor stands are available online and can make a big difference.

2. Adjust arm rests – Having a computer chair with adjustable armrests is useful because when adjusted properly there is a significant reduction in stress on the shoulders. The arm rests should be adjusted so when you are using your mouse/keyboard your elbows rest comfortably on them. A table attachment can also be useful if you are unable to purchase a new chair with adjustable arm rests.
