⭐️Dr. Sharon Taylor, PT, DPT is at it again! She her patient clean out her cupboard and will be adding this to her local food pantry drop off today as part of the 'Clean Your Cupboard' challenge! Keep 'em coming!...
🍂REMINDER: The Clean Your Cupboard Challenge is ON! 🍂
This November, we’re combining movement with meaning - and throwing in a free prize too! ❤️..
As home-based therapists, we’re uniquely positioned to help our patients make a difference - right from their own kitchens. During the month of November, we've decided to help our patients clean out their pantries and donate unopened, unexpired food to local food pantries - and we want you to join us too. 🏘️..
🧡 Why now? Food insecurity is rising. SNAP benefits are at risk, and our own Wakefield Food Pantry reported a 23% increase in families requesting help this month alone...
🏋️AND BONUS - You can turn it into therapy!
Pantry clean-outs can double as:
• Functional strength and squatting
• Balance and reaching
• Strengthening and stability (yes, those cans get heavy!)..
📸 Here's the Deets:
1) Share a photo with your patient during their cupboard clean out with the hashtag (with permission, of course!) and tag .
2) Share this post on your page or tag a friend so we can spread the joy in giving back this Thanksgiving season across the country!
3) Then, comment CLEANED OUT below so we know you're IN! ...
We’ll pull a winner at the end of the month and send you a free Cubii Seated Elliptical to give to your patient — the perfect way to keep them moving through the holidays!..
Let’s challenge our balance, clean our cupboards - and fill our local pantries, too. 💛

🧡 Testimonial Tuesday 🧡..
"Mary Kate was a wonderful physical therapist. I looked forward to each of her visits. Through her guidance, I definitely felt stronger and become steadier on my feet. I appreciated the exercise regime she recommended and Mary Kate is a kind, caring provider." ..
You can be the best therapist out there, but you're nothing without good bedside manner and the ability to establish good patient rapport. Reviews like Bill's let us know we're on the right track on both fronts. 💗 ..

🫁 November is National COPD Awareness Month 🫁
This November, we stand with the millions of Americans affected by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and commit to raising awareness, supporting those living with it, and spreading the message that every breath matters.

Here’s what you need to know:
• COPD is a serious lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe.
• It’s a leading cause of death and disability in the U.S., yet many people who have it don’t even know they do.
• Risk factors include smoking, second-hand smoke, air pollution, and other lung-irritating exposures.
• With early diagnosis, proper treatment and healthy lifestyle choices, people with COPD can live fuller, more active lives.

💙 How you can get involved:

Talk about COPD — share your story or the fact that “anyone can get COPD.”

Encourage loved ones to talk to their healthcare provider if they’ve been having persistent shortness of breath, chronic cough, or fatigue.

Help spread awareness: Post this, tag someone, or share a resource from the American Lung Association (ALA).

Visit ALA for top-notch resources and support for those living with COPD. ➡️ lung.org/COPD

Let’s honor this month by breathing love, support and action into lung health. 💨

🧠✨ Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation (eSCS): Hope for Spinal Cord Injury Recovery

A recent systematic review by Chalif et al. explored how epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) impacts people with chronic spinal cord injury — and the results are promising.

1️⃣ Real Functional Gains

🔹44% of participants regained assisted or independent standing/walking

🔹87% showed improved muscle activation

🔹80% reported better over-ground walking

Improvements extended to bladder, bowel, cardiovascular, and sexual function

2️⃣ Best Results with Rehab
🔹eSCS works best when paired with intensive physical therapy.

3️⃣ Safe but Still Evolving

🔹Few adverse events (like infections or device migration)

🔹Mechanisms and long-term outcomes still under study

🔹Patient selection remains key

💡 Takeaway: eSCS represents a major step forward in restoring function after SCI — offering real hope when combined with dedicated rehab.

🧠 Is It Time to Redefine Fall Prevention for Parkinson’s Disease?
🎙️ Featuring: J.J. Mowder-Tinney & Valerie Carter | Neuro Navigators Podcast

💡 Top 3 Takeaways:
1️⃣ Rethink Assessment:
Standard balance tests don’t tell the whole story. For Parkinson’s, include backward walking and dual-task assessments to capture real fall risk.

2️⃣ Look Beyond Motor Symptoms:
Falls in PD aren’t just about muscle weakness. Cognition, attention, and multitasking all play major roles, evaluate and train them!

3️⃣ Target What You Find:
Assess → Identify specific deficits → Train accordingly.
Incorporate backward walking and dual-task drills to create meaningful, individualized fall-prevention plans.

✨ It’s time to move beyond generic fall-risk programs and design PD-specific interventions that truly matter.
