🪢 Standing full body suspension in Redcord! It is one of the most challenging setups that we have at Functional Physical Therapy, but it also carries some of the greatest benefits! Standing in the unsteady ropes helps:

⬆️ Increase core muscle activation while standing, walking, or running!

😎 Prepare the body for uneven surfaces or rapid changes of direction. The ropes move without any pattern, just like our body has to respond to the ground while playing on the field!

⬆️ Increase the mind-body connection in a pain-free environment. While certainly challenging, there is no pain with these suspension exercises, which allows your mind to incorporate all the appropriate muscles without compensation!

🚲 New Video Drop Wednesday: Biking In Redcord

Just when you thought biking uphill was a challenge, try this biking progression in Redcord. It combines not only the dynamic hamstrings and quadriceps that a bicycle does, but also the ability to for the core muscles to support the motion.

🪢 Notice that there is no bungee support around the hips, meaning that he is supporting his entire body weight throughout the entire motion!

This can be made easier by increasing the bungee support or bringing the trainer above the feet closer to his head. By keeping the trainer closer to the feet, it makes this a big uphill pull as the heel comes in each time!

If you are ready to experience how this bicycle exercise may help you with your athletic performance, contact Functional Physical Therapy today!

👊🏻 Sports Injury Of The Week: Wrist Fracture 👊🏻

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed yesterday’s game against the Chicago Bears after fracturing his non-throwing wrist. While not many details about the specifics of the bone or fracture are known, it is believed that he will return to play next week.

There are multiple bones that make up the wrist, and each of them mean different things in terms of missing time on the field. Some have no circulation, meaning they will require surgery right away to be stabilized. While those with better circulation can potentially be braced and allowed to heal over time.

Although Rodgers had returned to practice, ultimately doctors decided it was too risky for his long term healing to play so soon. If he had taken an additional hit on the wrist, it could have lead to avascular necrosis (or death of the bone). This would likely have resulted in a fusion of part of his wrist!

📲 If you have been dealing with chronic wrist issues following a fracture, it might be time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy! We will get to the bottom of your compensations and help you be more functional as quickly as possible.

‼️ Everyone should be working on improving their lateral mobility ‼️

Moving laterally, and engaging the muscles that move you laterally, are critical in balance, posture, and athletic performance.

Want to reduce your risk for falling as you age?

Well then, make sure that you can move laterally so you can adapt to any scenario that may come your way. Far too often, we only train the straight plane (flexion or extension), but often when we get off balance it’s moving laterally or rotating!

Want to improve your ability to cut, change direction, and create explosion out of those cuts? Improving the activation of your adductors and abductors like we do with this lateral lunge in Redcord becomes critically important!

📲 Whether your goals are just safety with normal activities or improving your athletic performance, Functional Physical Therapy can help!

🫆 New Blog Post: Importance Of Understanding Basic Anatomy 🫆

One thing that has been evident over the course of treating at Functional Physical Therapy is how we have done such a poor job educating people on the basics of anatomy. This is not an individual problem, but a societal issue.

We all only have one body for our lifetime, so let’s take a few minutes to read about how some basic bodily functions work!

🔗 https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/importance-of-understanding-basic-anatomy

Why should you increase your knowledge of basic anatomy? Improving your basic understanding can help not only with expectations following an injury but can also help prevent injury beforehand!

📽️ New Video Drop Wednesday: Full Lateral Body Engagement 📽️

While this may seem like a small motion, this is a powerful connection within Redcord! This full suspension exercise links the muscles from the side of the neck, through the core and lateral hip, and down the side of the leg!

⬆️ This can help improve muscle activation to allow for increased neck, lower back, and hip mobility!

⬆️ This can also increase the activation of the gluteus medius, allowing for improved stability with all activities in standing!

As a bonus, this exercise is entirely pain free!

📲 So if you are ready to feel the difference that comes with full suspension, call Functional Physical Therapy today!

🏈 Sports Injury Of The Week: Repeat Concussions 🏈

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was forced to miss the game with his second diagnosed concussion of the season. It was also Dart’s fifth time in the concussion protocol since the start of the preseason.

Just because Dart cleared concussion protocol the other three times does not mean that he did not suffer a concussion. While thorough, no concussion protocol can catch every single concussion. Given that Dart has been in concussion protocol for nearly half of his professional games (5/11), there should be some major concerns.

Long-term, Dart will have to work on protecting himself better. Whether it is sliding while he is running or having more awareness while in the pocket, he is not going to last much longer at this pace.

One of the biggest concerns following a concussion is suffering another concussion before the brain has a chance to heal. With repeat trauma, that healing process takes longer, making someone more likely to have long-term issues following a concussion.

📲 If you have been dealing with repeat concussions or are finding it difficult to return to your normal activity following a concussion, Functional Physical Therapy is the place for you. We have advanced training in concussion rehabilitation and will have you in the best position to get back to being functional as quickly as possible!

❌ DO NOT BE THIS PERSON❌

This car sat in this position for over an hour, just to drive away without either coming into our medical building or picking someone up from the building.

♿️ Handicapped parking spots, especially at a medical building, are critically necessary for many patients as they enter the building. There is no reason to sit in one never mind across multiple spots when you are neither handicapped nor entering the building.

This person appeared to be on a call for over an hour and did not move with multiple cars coming in/out of the surrounding handicapped spots. Do not be this person!

📈New Blog Post: How PT Can Help During Growth Spurts 📈

One of the most challenging times of our lives physically can be during the seemingly endless growth spurts of puberty. For some, growth comes steady and gradual, but for others it is abrupt and intermittent.

🔗 https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/how-pt-can-help-during-growth-spurts

The onset of these growth spurts can lead to challenges with coordination, strength, and the ability to just walk without crazy compensations. But don’t worry! A relationship with a good PT can help you and your child navigate these challenging times!

📲 If your child is struggling to understand how to move with their new body, it is time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy! We have tools to make movements simpler and are focused on increasing the mind-body connection to carryover into all activities outside the clinic!
