🦵 QUANTIFYING STRENGTH 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
••• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔢 Muscle strength is a common finding that therapists use to identify neurological deficits and muscle imbalance/weakness during a physical exam. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
••• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧗🏾 Manual muscle testing (patient pushes against our hand) wasn’t good enough for us so we found another way to accurately quantify muscle strength. We use a Bluetooth load sensor combined with mountain climbing equipment to collect data on the patient’s strength. (Practitioners DM us to build your own strength testers!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏀 CASE: Basketball player with 4 ACL surgeries on the left knee being assessed by .karma Quadricep and hamstring strength were measured and demonstrated >90% symmetry meaning he’s well on his way to recovery!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

😞 We’re sorry for letting you down if you thought this video would cure your low back pain. We would really regret if we taught you generic low back exercises that worsened the pain. Please forgive us 🙏🏾 ⠀

⛏⛏⛏ The low back or lumbar spine is a complex structure without even considering movement. It can be injured in many different ways which requires the appropriate rehabilitation program (manual therapy, exercises) customized to you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👨🏾‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️ We all have slightly different anatomy and movement patterns. We need to embrace those differences and find therapies that can help us feel better and move more. Book today to see how we can help you get out of pain, feel better, and live the active life you always wanted. 📬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Scraping or blading involves using a plastic or metal instrument to mobilize soft tissues such as skin, fascia, muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc. This method is ideal for soft tissue injuries resulting from surgery, immobilization, repeated strain or other mechanisms. ⠀
••• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⛏⛏⛏ We use 3 main tools: ⚫️ for stimulating sensation, 🔴 for skin/scar mobility, ⚪️ for deeper soft tissue treatment of muscles, tendons, etc. Instruments effectively cause CONTROLLED micro trauma (hence the redness after treatment) to initiate a healing response to remodel affected soft tissue structures. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
••• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👨🏾‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️My personal favourite soft tissue instrument is the RockBlade made by due to the durability of the tool, comfort, and what the company stands for. Book today to see if this tool can help you recover FASTER, move BETTER, or get out of pain QUICKER!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

||🩸🩸SPEED UP RECOVERY🩸🩸|| Our arteries help drive blood to an area of the body using the muscles in its walls. However, our veins lack these muscular walls and rely on the surrounding muscles. As you move your legs, the muscles squeeze the veins and push the blood towards the heart. The valves close when you stop moving, preventing back-flow and pooling within the legs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🧬 NormaTec Recovery uses a patented pulsing compression technology to mimic the muscle pump of the legs, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid from the legs after an intense workout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
