📣 Let’s talk about overhead stability and strengthening exercises! Far too many patients are told after a shoulder injury or shoulder surgery to never work above their heads again. That’s terrible advice. If you followed through on that recommendation, you would:

❌ Never reach up into a high cabinet.

❌ Never throw a ball.

❌ Never use that arm to wash or comb your hair.

Never give up moving any of your joints in the planes of motion that they have been designed to move through! By training in a weight bearing form like we do in Redcord, we safely train the body to accept stresses and reduce the likelihood of repeat injuries while working above your head!

⏮️ Throwback Thursday Blog Post: Sometimes Everyday Activities Are Enough ⏩

☀️ With some early spring weather in NJ this week, most people are getting outside more than they have been able to the past few months. But there will also be days that you are just able to get through your everyday activities, and that is more than enough!

Don’t think that you have to go above and beyond every single day to help your rehabilitation or your overall fitness. Allow your body a few days off for rest and recovery, and you will really see the benefits that you are looking to achieve!

🫨 New Video Drop Wednesday: Benefits Of Perturbation 🫨

We shake the Redcord ropes for many reasons, all of which revolve around improving our patients ability to function outside of the ropes. These benefits include:

➖ Increasing the activation of the core stabilizing muscles.

➖ Decreasing pain by having multiple patterns of engagement to perform a movement.

➖ Increasing the mind-body connection so muscle activation will continue beyond the individual exercise.

💬 And many more!

📲 If you are ready to experience the shaking and the benefits that come with it, contact Functional Physical Therapy!

⚾️ Sports Injury Of The Week: Spring Elbow Stiffness ⚾️

Cincinnati Reds ace pitcher Hunter Greene has been shut down this week with what was described as elbow stiffness. He was sent back to Cincinnati for further testing, and he is awaiting MRI results to determine the next course of action.

🗓️ Greene already had Tommy John surgery in 2019. There are not many starting pitchers in the MLB today that have not had Tommy John surgery, and unfortunately, it is becoming more likely for these same players to have repeat surgeries as well.

🔄 Last year, Greene pitched 40+ innings less than the year before after missing time with a groin strain in season. Despite the reduction in load on his arm last season, it appears that his arm may not have been ready for the beginning of the new season. More often, you see an early season injury after pitchers have pitched a career high in the number of innings the year before.

📲 If your child is a youth pitcher in the area or if you are experiencing pain after throwing with your child preparing for the upcoming baseball season, Functional Physical Therapy is the place for you! Our full body assessment will have you in the best position possible to reduce your pain now and be able to enjoy the upcoming season!

Are you hunching forward over your computer for long hours over the course of the day?

Do you feel tension building in your neck or upper back as the day goes along?

If so, give this simple thoracic mobility exercise at your desk a try! Stand in front of your desk, and place your forearms on the desktop. Step back far enough so you can hinge forward and drop your chest to the level of the desk. This will help extend your thoracic spine and stretch the lat muscles that commonly contribute to neck and upper back pain!

🥶 New Blog Post: Frozen Shoulder 🥶

An increasingly common diagnosis is adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder. Although it is a common diagnosis, it is not always clear how it occurs.

🔗 https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/frozen-shoulder

There are few populations who are at increased risk for frozen shoulder, and you will learn why in this week’s blog!

There are some simple things that everyone can do to prevent frozen shoulder, which you will also learn in the blog!

📲 If you have suffered with frozen shoulder and the symptoms have continued to linger, it may be time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy!

🔄 New Video Drop Wednesday: Pelvic Rotation With Redcord Axis 🔄

Do you feel stiffness in your lower back after walking for a short period of time?

Do you have a lot of tightness in your hips after your long run?

Are you having difficulty cutting and changing direction on the athletic field?

All of these may be due to lack of proper rotation of your pelvis! This Redcord exercise improves your ability to rotate the pelvis and allows for the core muscles to support the movement. Having the feet press down into the slings also allows for the patient to maintain the mobility once they are back in standing!

📲 To feel the difference and experience exercises that help you long after treatment, call Functional Physical Therapy!

⚾️ Sports Injury Of The Week: Internal Bracing Surgery ⚾️

Texas Rangers top prospect Sebastian Walcott underwent surgery to place an internal brace in his throwing elbow. He is expected to miss the next five months as he recovers from the surgery. Walcott has missed time the past several years with elbow issues, so when the pain was present at the beginning of spring training, the decision for surgery was made.

⏰ A surgery placing an internal brace over a ligament will hopefully prevent a full thickness ligament tear and reduce time missed long-term. As an athlete who was pushing to make the major league roster this season, it is a difficult decision but one that will hopefully help him long term.

🥇 The number one predictor of a tear of the major ligament in your elbow (ulnar collateral ligament) is a previous tear. So this will hopefully prevent Walcott from having Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ligament and also prevent the issue from recurring and missing multiple years over the rest of his career.

📲 If you have dealt with lingering elbow issues and are ready to finally put them behind you, call Functional Physical Therapy to schedule your full-body assessment!

⏰ Do you hold your planks at home as part of your exercise routine?

⏰ If so, how long?

Chances are, if you are holding a plank for more than 30 seconds, all you are doing is compensating for your core muscles!

When we have patients do planks at the clinic, either in Redcord or traditional planks on the ground, we are often only holding for about 4-5 seconds. We need these core muscles to turn on when needed and, almost as importantly, turn off when we are at rest! So next time you are doing your planks, shorten the holds, do more repetitions, and tell Functional Physical Therapy the difference you feel afterwards!

🦵🏻 New Blog Post: Chrondromalacia Patella 🦵🏻

A very common and sometimes very painful condition that occurs in active individuals is chondromalacia patella. Your patella is your kneecap, and at times it can irritate the femur (thigh bone) that is below it. When left untreated over time, that irritation can lead to condromalacia patella.

⬆️ If you have dealt with knee issues in the past or have occasional pains with activity, take a few minutes to get some prevention tips. This condition can linger and may be difficult to properly diagnose, but Functional Physical Therapy is here to help you better understand what is occurring with your body!
