Over time, Dr. Thoms has noticed a pattern.

Patients who are physically prepared don’t always recover the best.
Patients who are mentally prepared often do.

His conclusion:
Mental preparation comes first. Physical preparation comes second.

Why does this matter?

Mental preparation isn’t just about attitude. It directly influences stress, pain perception, and recovery progress.

Research continues to show that patients who are mentally prepared tend to have lower stress, better pain tolerance, and more consistent recovery progress.

You don’t have to be a clinician to work in healthcare.

Most people don’t know what a physiatrist does - until they need one.

If you’ve been dealing with back, neck, or nerve pain that isn’t improving, this is often the step before surgery: identifying the exact source of pain and treating it as precisely as possible.

• what they do

👇 A few small habits can go a long way in keeping athletes healthy all season:

• Warm up longer on cold days
• Follow pitch count and recovery guidelines
• Include shoulder stability exercises
• Strengthen core and glutes for rotational power
• Start practice/games with dynamic warm-ups (not static stretching)
• Don’t skip mobility work for hips, shoulders, and spine
• Pay attention to soreness that lasts more than a few days

As spring sports ramp up, it’s also the time of year we see a lot of preventable injuries. Save and follow these few smart habits to help reduce injury risk, especially early in the season.

⚾ Have a great season, Wildcats - we’ll be cheering you on all spring!

A big milestone for Dr. Scott Stanat last week - 3,000 MAKO total joint surgeries.

An incredible milestone for Dr. Scott Stanat, celebrated last week with the amazing team at Backus Hospital.

MAKO is a robotic-assisted technology used during joint replacement surgery that allows surgeons to create a personalized surgical plan based on each patient’s anatomy, helping guide precise implant placement during the procedure.

3,000 procedures represent thousands of people who have been able to return to walking, working, and doing the things they love.

Congratulations to Dr. Stanat, and thank you to everyone who helped celebrate.

In complex spine conditions, changing one thing in the body can sometimes reveal another issue.

That’s why continuity of care matters.

A Preston resident recently shared how working with Dr. Karan Patel, one of our fellowship-trained spine surgeons, through two surgeries and ongoing recovery, helped him finally regain his life.

Thanks to WTNH for covering this story and to Dr. Patel for helping patients move beyond years of pain and get back to living life on their terms.

Using K-tape is one of the tools we have to help manage swelling after an injury.

Here, Tori is applying the tape in a specific weave pattern to create a light lifting effect on the skin, helping guide fluid away from the area and support circulation.

Watch Tori walk through the full rehab process - and how one patient’s vacation misstep in Mexico turned into a full recovery journey here: https://youtu.be/zWah-BHccY4
