🧠We Spread Our Knowledge🧠

Christine Mattson, DPT, continues to be an avid Guest Lecturer 👩‍🏫for PIMA Medical Institute's Physical Therapy Assistant Program! Each semester she lectures about her Amputee Rehab Program bringing in her knowledge, experience, and even her past/present amputee patients. This allows the students for a first hand experience with the Amputee Population, learn about the different prosthetic legs 🦿, and allows the students to work on their gait assessments! 🚶‍♀️👀

👏For the first time, we even had Joe Sternard, LCPO, prosthetist from Prosthetics & Orthotics join us to share his knowledge and teach the students about the process, from start to finish, in regards to fitting a prosthesis. 🦿Thank You Joe for joining us! 👏

If you are a new amputee yourself and/or just need a little extra help with normalizing your gait, Wellspring is here for you! ❗️❗️❗️We treat all walks of life! ❤️

☀️GOODBYE SUMMER!🚌🎒HELLO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!🚌🎒
Even though Federal Way School District doesn't go back to school until September 2nd, some school districts have already started! What a whirlwind of a summer!

As kids are already heading back to school, it's time to check those heavy backpacks! 🎒🎒🎒Poorly fit, and heavy backpacks, can cause neck, shoulder and back pain. 🙅‍♀️🙅

TIPS TO STAY PAINFREE: 🙋‍♀️🙋
✏️Tighten up straps, do not carry low on back.
✏️Wide straps to distribute weight on shoulders to decrease strain on neck
✏️Carry on both shoulders, not one side, unless a shoulder sling bag
✏️Keep weight low, a maximum 15% of child's body weight.

💪If your child is experiencing pain, their posture and strength may be contributing. Wellspring Physical Therapy can help! 👍 Call Wellspring Physical Therapy at (253) 942-3308 or check out wellspringptclinic.com to get your Initial Evaluation scheduled now! ❤️
