🚨 Fall Prevention Matters 🚨

Did you know that over 900,000 adults age 65 and older are hospitalized each year due to falls? Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults — but many are preventable.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls can result in serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, and a loss of independence.

đź’ˇ The good news: There are steps you can take to reduce your risk.

✔️ Stay physically active to improve strength and balance
✔️ Have your vision and medications reviewed regularly
✔️ Remove tripping hazards at home
✔️ Use assistive devices if recommended
✔️ Talk to a healthcare provider about fall risk screenings
✔️ Balance Therapy to prevent future falls

Physical and occupational therapy can play a key role in fall prevention by improving balance, strengthening muscles, and making the home environment safer.

Don’t wait for a fall to happen — prevention starts today. 💙

February is National Heart Month ❤️ — the perfect time to highlight how physical and occupational therapy play a vital role in heart health and recovery.

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., and organizations like the American Heart Association emphasize that prevention and rehabilitation are key.

đź’™ How Physical Therapy Supports Heart Health:
Physical therapists design safe, individualized exercise programs that improve cardiovascular endurance, strength, balance, and overall mobility. After a cardiac event or surgery, PT helps patients rebuild stamina, regain independence, and safely return to daily activities.

đź’™ How Occupational Therapy Makes a Difference:
Occupational therapists help individuals safely manage everyday tasks — from dressing and bathing to cooking and working — while conserving energy and protecting the heart. OT focuses on lifestyle habits, stress management, and adapting routines to support long-term heart health.

Whether it’s prevention, rehabilitation, or improving quality of life, therapy professionals are key partners in your heart health journey.

Your heart works hard for you every day — we’re here to help you keep it strong. ❤️

Thinking about pelvic floor therapy this year? Here’s what to know.

1. Internal pelvic floor therapy is not required
A common misconception about pelvic floor therapy is that internal treatment is mandatory. It is not. Internal techniques are always optional and never performed without your consent. Many patients see meaningful improvement through external techniques, movement-based therapy, breathing retraining, and education, especially in the early stages of care. Your comfort and safety are always prioritized.

2. Pelvic floor therapy addresses more than bladder control
Pelvic floor therapy is beneficial for a wide range of conditions beyond urinary leakage or postpartum recovery, including:
• Low back and hip pain
• Bowel dysfunction, including constipation
• Neck or jaw (TMJ) pain
• Core weakness and pelvic pressure symptoms

These areas are often interconnected through posture, breathing mechanics, and muscle coordination, making a whole-body approach essential.

3. Treatment is individualized
Effective pelvic floor rehabilitation extends beyond exercises alone. Care is personalized to identify contributing factors and address the underlying cause of symptoms, not just manage them. The goal is to help patients build strength, restore function, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

4. Getting started is straightforward
Patients can:
➡️ Call and schedule an evaluation with our trained therapist, it's just that simple!
Our approach is supportive, educational, and patient-centered- without pressure.

You deserve treatment that is informed, respectful, and tailored to your needs. ✨

Core stability matters- because a strong core supports everything you do, from getting out of bed to staying active.

Progressive core strengthening under skilled physical therapy guidance improves strength, endurance, and neuromuscular control.

Week 7: Let’s Talk Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor is more than just a set of muscles—it supports your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, contributes to core stability, and even affects posture and movement. When these muscles are weak, overactive, or poorly coordinated, it can impact your everyday activities.

Signs you may benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy:

➡️ Urinary or bowel leakage
➡️ Pelvic pressure or discomfort
➡️ Low back or hip pain
➡️ Difficulty with core stability or balance
➡️ Challenges during pregnancy, postpartum, or after surgery

Did you know?
Pelvic floor exercises are not just Kegels. Effective treatment may include strengthening, relaxation, coordination, and functional integration—tailored to your needs.

It was such a pleasure having Hayden Bryant, Senior at Amory High School, join us during his first semester.

Hayden is interested in pursuing a career as a physical therapist and completed his high school internship with us here at Sims Physical Therapy. During his time with us, he had the opportunity to interact wit patients, assist with daily clinic activities, observe the flow of physical therapy care, and gain valuable hands-on experience.

Before Hayden wrapped up his internship, we asked him a few questions about his experience. Here's what he had to say:

- What new skills or knowledge did you learn while you were here?
"I learned the medical language, many different exercises, and soft skills."

- What did you learn about working with patients and being part of a health care team?
"Being open and talking with patients, and the importance of teamwork."

- How did the staff at Sims Physical Therapy help you learn and grow?
"They were all very helpful, kind, and very patient."

- How did the internship help you think about your future career or education plans?
"It gave me a great insight with what physical therapy has to offer."

- What advice would you give to a future high school intern, who has plans to become a physical therapist?
"Definitely take this opportunity. The staff is very nice and helpful, and you get a great insight into the PT/OT field."

Hayden, we truly appreciate the time we had with you and are excited to see all the great things you will accomplish in the future.

Help us welcome another awesome new addition to our team - Melissa Lott! đź©·

"My name is Melissa Lott, and I grew up in a tiny town outside of Meridian. I graduated MCC’s PTA program in 2015 with honors. I started my career working in a nursing home, then a swing bed unit, and have been in outpatient rehabilitation since 2018.

I believe physical therapy goes beyond just the diagnosis and I truly enjoy getting to know each person and their story.

I married my high school sweetheart in 2018 and have followed him with his baseball coaching career from Meridian to the Delta to south MS and now at ICC. We live in Fulton with our two beautiful children who are my pride and joy! We’re looking forward to excelling with the baseball program in the coming years! "

Pelvic Floor Exercises: Why They Matter

The pelvic floor muscles play a critical role in bladder and bowel control, core stability, posture, and sexual health. When these muscles are weak, overactive, or poorly coordinated, symptoms can occur.

➡️ Pelvic floor exercises may help with:
➡️ Urinary or bowel leakage
➡️ Pelvic pain or pressure
➡️ Core instability and low back pain
➡️ Pregnancy and postpartum recovery
➡️ Post-surgical rehabilitation

Pelvic floor exercises are not one-size-fits-all. Proper assessment is essential, as some individuals require relaxation and coordination training—not strengthening alone.

If you are experiencing pelvic floor symptoms, a pelvic floor therapist can help determine the most effective treatment plan.
