🏋 New Blog Post: Five Home Exercises Everyone Should Be Doing This Winter 🏋️

❄️ Winter can be a challenging time to get out and get to the gym. So we put together a list of exercises that everyone can do at home as part of a complete body workout routine!

🔗 https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/five-home-exercises-everyone-should-be-doing-this-winter

You may be surprised and, even though it’s pictured here, the traditional plank did not make our list! But we did add some great core muscle exercises that can be done with just your body weight.

📼 New Video Drop: Improving End Range Thoracic Rotation In Redcord 📼

While we usually post videos moving through full range of motion, we are focusing on the end range of motion with this Redcord exercise! Both approaches help to improve range of motion, but staying at end range does have some additional benefits.

🪢 With the support of the Redcord, it allows for the ability to stay at the end of your range and press into additional ranges of motion your body was not able to achieve otherwise.

‼️ This will also have a sustained stretch on all the muscles and soft tissue around the spine. Increasing the time under stretch will improve the tissue mobility at rest, as well as the ability for you to access the new ranges of motion easier with your everyday activities!

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

‼️ There is no greater tool that we can give our patients at Functional Physical Therapy than the ability to help themselves. Knowledge of your condition - and what can be done to help it - is given to all our patients during their initial examination. This knowledge continues to be passed along with each treatment session, which helps to improve the mind-body connection.

📲 To experience the difference of understanding your condition and your treatment, contact Functional Physical Therapy to schedule your initial assessment!

🏈 Sports Injury Of The Week: Ruptured Achilles 🏈

Last weekend, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones suffered a season ending torn Achilles. Jones had been dealing with a fractured fibula on the same leg for several weeks, and we suspect some of the compensations developed contributed to the rupture.

❌ While athletes often play through significant injuries, doing so can compound into a bigger injury. Typically, a short period of 1-2 weeks of non weight bearing on a fractured fibula is all that is required for an athlete to return to competition.

Instead, Jones continued to play through the injury and will miss the remainder of this season. He should be ready for the beginning of training camp next year, but it does mean that he will also be out for many of the off season practices prior to next season.

📲 If you have been dealing with compounding injuries and can’t break the cycle, it may be time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy. We will get to the root cause and help you stop the repeated injuries!

🪢 We have talked full body suspension before, but not when it comes to working on the upper body with Redcord! This tricep press works to lift the entire body weight on a completely unstable surface by having her lift her feet off the floor!

She does get some assistance from the sling around her hips to help unweight her body. And more importantly, it starts to link the muscles of the shoulders and arms with the core muscles when she keeps a good, upright posture while performing the exercise. This will create better movement patterns with every lift at the gym or even when you bend over to lift up your children.

📲 To feel the improvement of linking your core and upper body together, contact Functional Physical Therapy today!

📓 New Blog Post: Why Each Patient Presentation Is Unique 📓

Not every patient with lower back pain is the same!

So why do doctors and therapists design generalized “protocols” that they say will work for every person with a certain diagnosis?

If this were true, anyone could follow a standard protocol to “fix” their issue.

🍪 This is why we can safely say there is no cookie cutter approach to any diagnosis!

🔗 https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/why-each-patient-presentation-is-unique

Every person has their own unique set of circumstances, and piecing that information together correctly is what will help prevent pain in the long term! This is why, during each treatment session at Functional Physical Therapy, we will assess and address the whole body to provide an individualized treatment approach to each patient!

New Video Drop: Single Leg Long Lever Plank In Redcord

Do you think that a traditional plank is a good exercise for the core muscles?

‼️ The answer for most people is actually no! Many people will compensate during a plank, using either their quadriceps or hip flexors to hold the position, barely using their abdominals.

🪢 This single leg progression in Redcord will increase activation of the core muscles well beyond a traditional plank. But even more importantly, it starts to link those core muscles with all the anterior muscles of the leg, so that they will work together with every step you take during the day.

📲 When you are ready to feel how we prepare your body for all your everyday activities using Redcord, reach out to Functional Physical Therapy!

🏈 Sports Injury Of The Week: Returning Post Fractured Fibula 🏈

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton is expected to return for tonight’s Monday Night Football game following a fibula fracture. It is important to note that there was no ankle or high ankle sprain reported in combination with the fracture.

🗓️ The rookie running back last played in week 4, when he suffered a fractured fibula while being tackled. He was placed on the non-season ending injured reserve, which for many athletes means they will be out for four weeks. But, Hampton ended up missing nine weeks of playing time while recovering.

➖The fibula is the bone on the outside of the shin. While it carries no weight when we are standing, it remains important for attachment of multiple ligaments and muscles. This generally means time missed with a fracture can be minimal, but the Chargers played it safe with their first round pick.

📲 If you have been dealing with shin issues and are ready to move beyond these injuries, it is time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy! We will take you through a full body assessment and get to the root cause of your continued restrictions right away.

🧍‍♂️Standing hip mobility exercises are an easy way to improve your mobility with our everyday activities. While stretching does help improve range of motion, our body does not always know that it has increased until it feels our body move through the range of motion in weight bearing. So follow these steps to help improve your hip rotational range of motion!

1️⃣ Stand with both feet under your shoulders and pointing in the same direction.

2️⃣ Keep one foot planted, while turning your body and opposite foot away from the plant foot.

3️⃣ Return your body and foot that moved back to where they began.

4️⃣ Rinse and repeat so that your mind-body connection is reinforced!

📲 If this helps you feel less stiff during your everyday activities, it may be time to contact Functional Physical Therapy to help with more than your tight hips!

As we have said many times before, surgery is almost never your only option! No matter what the diagnosis, no matter how long it has been a problem, and no matter how much your surgeon tells you that surgery is the only way…you have to advocate for yourself and try a course of physical therapy with Functional Physical Therapy first!

📲 So if this sounds familiar to you, and you are ready to find out if surgery can be avoided, simply call Functional Physical Therapy!
