🦶 New Blog Post: The NFL Year Of Toe Injuries 🦶

This year seemed to be dominated by talk about quarterbacks in the NFL and their big toes. Sports Illustrated even had a ten page article about it in one of their recent issues. And while we previously discussed the big toe at length, we wanted to discuss some differences in approaches to this injury taken this past season.

Joe Burrow and Brock Purdy each missed extended periods of time because of big toe injuries, but they had completely different approaches to their rehabs. Take a few minutes to learn more about each, especially if you have dealt with big toe issues yourself!

📲 After reading, if you feel like you need more information or are ready to put your big toe issues behind you, contact Functional Physical Therapy!$

📽️ New Video Drop Wednesday: Lateral Line Activation In Redcord 📽️

We have shown videos of side-lying hip abduction in Redcord before, but we wanted to showcase the entire lateral line connection with this exercise!

While this highlights the gluteus medius muscle, it will also work to engage:

➖ The outer core muscles that are responsible for moving the spine to the sides with everyday activities.

➖ The fibularis muscles on the outside of the shin, which assist with ankle mobility and stability while cutting and changing direction.

➖ The intercostal muscles that expand the ribcage with every breath we take.

➖ The scalenes and upper traps that move the neck to the side.

There are so many muscles that can be involved in this one exercise, which can be done pain-free and made as easy as the patient needs, thanks to Redcord!

🙏🏼 Thank you Ann Marie for sharing your experience and for being a part of the Functional Physical Therapy family!

📣 Can not say it any better ourselves!

Your PT needs to take into account the information that you are giving them each time you come into the clinic. There should be no set exercise routine, and each treatment should be a progression upon your feedback as a patient!

📲 If that does not sound like your physical therapy experience, and you are ready to feel the difference, simply contact Functional Physical Therapy to schedule your initial assessment!

🏀 Sports Injury Of The Week: Arthritic Pain 🏀

This past week, LeBron James missed a Los Angeles Lakers game with what was termed “arthritic left foot pain”. While they are simply terming it this way as a way of not saying “load management”, there may be something to it as well.

⏮️ Some may recall that LeBron missed the beginning of the season with right sided sciatica symptoms. As we have mentioned many times, it is often the compensations that are worse than the actual injury. So, if he is compensating for his right sided sciatica symptoms, it may be that he is taking extra work and stress throughout the left side of his body.

🗓️ LeBron is also 41 years old. And while that is not old in the general population, not many professional basketball players are in their 23rd season of professional basketball. That many years and games on the hardwood can certainly affect anyone’s feet and cause problems.

The truth is some forms of arthritis can provoke serious pain, such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. But most people that are told they simply have “arthritic joints” should not be limited by these changes!

📲 If you have been told your arthritic pain is something you have to deal with or is just going to be getting worse, contact Functional Physical Therapy to see why that is not always the truth!

❄️ Despite being in the middle of winter right now, we want to look back on last year’s Mark Hoffer Memorial Outing. It was a beautiful day for some golfing, and we are looking forward to sponsoring again this upcoming year.

Mark your calendars for June 8th! We hope to see everyone out at Neshanic Valley Country Club for this year’s outing!

🪢 New Blog Post: Those Red Ropes Look Like Torture 🪢

📍When someone enters Functional Physical Therapy, the first thing they see is the Redcord hanging above the treatment table. After seeing the Redcord set up, their first question is usually “what is that torture device?”.

After that initial reaction, our patients soon realize how supportive and assistive the system really is! Take a few minutes to learn about how we utilize Redcord to make movement easier and provide a much better experience at physical therapy!

📽️ New Video Drop Wednesday: Whole Body Stability In Redcord 📽️

Watch the difference in motion when the left and right leg moves laterally during this exercise! And based on that, which side do you think we need to focus on stabilizing?

As one leg moves, the opposite leg is responsible for stabilizing the body. So when she moves her left leg, her body sways more, telling us that we should focus more attention on stabilizing her right side!

📲 If you have been missing a full body approach to your rehabilitation, it may be time to contact Functional Physical Therapy. All our interventions in Redcord involve the full body, which will give us information on how it all is working together as a unit!

😎 Sports Injury Of The Week: Playoff Push Rest 😎

As the NFL regular season came to an end last week, there was plenty of talk about resting players prior to the playoffs. Only two teams will get a bye next week as the playoffs begin. The idea of additional rest has its pros and cons in terms of results on the field.

For example, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert had been playing the past several weeks with a fracture in his non-throwing hand. So a week without taking any additional hits or stress on the hand should only benefit him going into the playoffs.

But some players with only minor injuries may benefit from staying in the normal routine and prevent getting rusty over the week off. So finding the balance between additional rest and staying in playing routine can be the difference between a team performing and moving on or going home early following a playoff loss.

📲 If you are an athlete balancing resting and playing but continue to have trouble with injuries, it might be time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy!

🏋️ Unstable surface lunging with Redcord is a full body exercise! The ability to create instability with Redcord is how we create a full-body approach and make every exercise a core exercise at Functional Physical Therapy!

This lunge is a core exercise? You bet it is! This lunge works to increase the deep core stabilizers by being on an unsteady surface. It also works to transfer energy from the leg on the ground through the core and into the leg in the sling to keep the body upright!

📲 If you are feeling like your body, or your rehabilitation, is a bit disconnected and not using your entire body, it may be time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy!

📼 New Years Eve Video Drop: Pelvic And Scapular Rotation In Redcord 📼

🪢 This Redcord variation works to increase the ability for the entire spine to rotate as a unit. By pressing through the arms, the scapulas are engaged, and by pressing down with the legs, the pelvis is engaged. That allows the mobility you see to come from entire chain of the thoracic spine, lumbar spine, and pelvis!

‼️ Improving the ability to link all these segments together allows for a more functional outcome. It will help the patient maintain and use this new mobility while standing and during all everyday activities!

📲 To improve the ability for your body to work together and have less discomfort with your everyday activities, call Functional Physical Therapy!
