What are modalities?

Modalities are techniques used by physical therapists to aid with healing. Different modalities used in a custom treatment plan may include heat, cold, and laser therapy to help strengthen, relax, and heal muscles.

It's important that whatever PT you go to, takes the time to fully evaluate and examine the injury or cause of pain and uses a custom combination of treatment modalities to help you recover.

Spine Safety Tips On Wearing Backpacks!

Children—or anyone—should follow these simple tips when wearing a backpack.

1. Wear both straps.

Use of one strap causes one side of the body to bear the weight of the backpack. By wearing two shoulder straps, the weight of the backpack is better distributed across the shoulders.

2. Wear the backpack over the strongest mid-back muscles.

Pay close attention to the way the backpack is positioned on the back. It should rest evenly in the middle of the back. Shoulder straps should be adjusted to allow the child to put on and take off the backpack without difficulty and allow free movement of the arms. Straps should not be too loose, and the backpack should not extend below the low back.

3. Lighten the load

Keep the load at 10-15% or less of the child's bodyweight. Carry only those items that are required for the day or find a new lightweight backpack. Organize the contents of the backpack by placing the heaviest items closest to the back. Some students have two sets of books so as not to have to carry the heavy books to and from school. A backpack with wheels can also help if the child has to carry greater than 15% of their bodyweight.

How a Pain and Injury Expert Can Help
A Pain and Injury Expert can help you choose a proper backpack and fit it specifically to your child. Children come in all shapes and sizes, and some have physical limitations that require special adaptations.

Additionally, they can help improve posture problems, correct muscle imbalances, and treat pain that can result from improper backpack use. We can also design individualized fitness programs to help children get strong and stay strong.

Do you have overpronated feet? If so, this may cause a posture problem.

Identification – Put both hands 1 inch away from each side of your foot. Straighten your ankle so that the space between each hand and your ankle is equidistant. Now naturally let your ankle and feet rest. If your foot and ankle caved inward, you have over-pronated feet.

Potential causes include: Improper footwear, obesity, pregnancy, and repetitive pounding on a hard surface which can weaken the arch leading to over-pronation and oftentimes flat feet.

For solutions to this condition and the related symptoms, please call us for a FREE discovery visit at (800) 758-0097.

Tips to Avoid Injury While Swimming

1. Bilateral Breathing
The ability to breathe comfortably on both sides is important while swimming the freestyle stroke. By changing sides, you are equalizing muscle development and achieving symmetry.

2. Posture
If you have tightness in the chest muscles or rounded shoulder posture, this can put you more at risk for shoulder impingement. The shoulders should be back and the chest forward during a freestyle stroke.

3. Kick
The kick should originate from the hips. In other words, “kick your legs,” don’t kick your feet. There should be a slight bend in your knee at all times. Your toes will naturally point.

4. Catch and Pull
The "catch" is when the hand enters the water. If the thumb enters the water first, it can cause the shoulder to internally rotate and can lead to a shoulder injury.

The "pull" is the sweeping phase when the arm pulls through the water to move the body forward. If the arm crosses over the midline or is too wide, it could cause shoulder injury.

5. Body Rotation
Your body should rotate as if your spinal column is a skewer. As the right arm enters the water, the body should rotate slightly toward the right, and vice versa. A flat body posture also can lead to a shoulder injury. Body rotation also facilitates bilateral breathing.

In addition to the above tips, proper warm-up and stretching exercises are important to reduce injury during swim sessions.

The knee is one of the most commonly injured joints in the body. Knee pain can be a result of overuse, traumatic strain /sprain, or other inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis. Injury to the knee can cause loss of motion, decreased muscle control, and impaired strength and endurance loss of the muscles that support the knee.

When you have a painful knee that continues to limit your daily activities, athletic participation, or other hobbies, it is important to have it examined by a medical professional. If your injury is the result of a direct blow or sudden strain to the knee, a medical professional can help determine if you have a significant ligamentous or cartilaginous injury requiring extensive knee pain treatment. Many knee injuries can be treated conservatively with rest, ice, mobilization, and physical therapy.

Based on a comprehensive initial evaluation, our team will uncover the best combination of treatments to help you get long-term relief:

Here's a Key Tip for Traveling When You Have Back Pain:

Take Frequent Stretch Breaks!

You might be tempted to power through a long trip. But you'll probably regret it. If you're on the road with someone else, take turns driving and pull over at rest stops for a quick stretch.

On a plane, train, or bus, get up every 20-30 minutes and stand or stroll if you can. Let the driver or flight attendant know you're dealing with pain and will need to stand up regularly. If you're boxed in by meal carts, do stretches while seated.

What Is Degenerative Disk Disease?

When we're young—under 30 years of age—the disk is made mostly of gelatin. As we age, and sometimes with injury, we start to lose some of that gelatin and the volume of the disk decreases, resulting in less space between the vertebrae.

The disk becomes flatter and less flexible, leaving less space between each set of vertebrae. Sometimes bone spurs form in response to this degeneration of the disk, which could make the spine stiff. Often, this flattening and additional stiffness to the spine is not at all painful.

However, in some cases, when the rough surfaces of the vertebral joints rub together, pain and inflammation may result. The nerve root, the point where a spinal nerve exits the spine and extends to other parts of the body, may become irritated or compressed.
