🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share my wife, Wendy Burnham's, latest venture: Mobility Independence! 💪 Wendy's vision to make life easier for those facing mobility challenges due to accident, disease, or unexpected struggles is one she has been working on for the last year (while also working with her mom's recovery from heart surgery). Mobility Independence is a one-stop resource directory, designed to provide answers and support during tough times for those dealing with daily challenges. Inspiration for this site came from meeting a lovely couple at The Shepherd Center. He had been shot and paralyzed from the neck down. Their world forever changed. She was struggling to find out how to even move him from Atlanta to South Carolina and had no idea where they would live or what doctors or hospitals would be available once there. "Why isn't there an easier way?" That was Wendy's question. "Why, in this digital age isn't there a resource that has everything in one place?" The information is out there, yes. But, finding it can be overwhelming when you're focused on caring for a loved one. Wendy's mission is to simplify the process and offer a helping hand when it's needed most. 🤝God never let us forget this couple and their struggles. We knew they couldn't be the only ones. So, in 2023, Wendy set out to make this website a reality. Join us as we launch this amazing new website🚀 and please share with those that would benefit from using it. You can also contact us from the site if you have any additional information you may think needs to be added. We are striving to provide the most up to date and accurate information on the site. We're still in our infancy, so there will be changes to what you see. We are aware of things that need work, so be patient with us! Thank You!! https://lnkd.in/ec9Kpcpg #MobilityIndependence #SupportingOthers #InspiringJourney

Exciting news as Andrew Dennis steps up as CEO for CRI Health Resources in IL, his forward-thinking direction in physical therapy exemplifies the potential in our industry. 🏥 Dennis is working not only to renew the importance of rehabilitation in healthcare at Evanston Regional Hospital but also expanding into orthopaedics and general surgery. This holistic approach to patient care emphasizes how physical therapy is critical in the patient's journey back to strength and everyday life. How often do we overlook the role of physical therapy in our own organizations or view it as a secondary service? It's time to challenge our perspective and consider physical therapy as more than just rehab. Imagine the possibilities when it becomes a primary focus, improving patient experience, and reducing time, cost, and travel. As a seasoned Physical Therapist, I invite you to take a moment and reflect on your company's stance on physical therapy. Don't let uncertainties linger. I'm here as a resource to provide insights and potential solutions. Let's discuss how to elevate the role of physical therapy in patient care.

For 13 years, I served in the military, 10 of those in the special operations community. Let's just say I pushed my body to the limits – and sometimes, it pushed back. I was young and had not accepted my mortality. A nasty injury had me in physical therapy for six months, doing two sessions a day. Let me tell you, I became intimately familiar with the frustration, pain, and unwavering will to recover that patients face. This was the first time I truly understood how lucky I was to have a chance to come back. Witnessing that fight firsthand is what fueled my passion for Wood-Works Medical Solutions Group. We develop innovative medical solutions designed to optimize healing and get people back to their active lives faster without drugs. (If you need them, that's fine. It just might not be the only option.) Here's why orthopedic and PT practices should consider Wood-Works: -Shorten recovery timelines: Our products are built to accelerate the healing process, allowing patients to return to peak performance quickly. -Boost patient morale: Faster progress keeps patients motivated and engaged in their therapy. -Veteran-owned with a mission: We understand the importance of resilience and are dedicated to supporting the healthcare community.

Have you recently had thyroid surgery?  This paper is for you!  It still baffles me when people have major surgery and no physio follow up or guidance on how to care for their scar. Particular for a scar that's so visible.  This study looks specifically at neck stretching and found this to be beneficial for reducing pain and improving quality of life for benign nodular goiter but not for thyroid lobectomy.  https://lnkd.in/eicXzHDG If you're interested in learning how to get the best (aesthetics and flexibility) from your scar please download our guide here

Unraveling the Mystery of Physical Therapy at NHI at TOA! "Why see a physical therapist when past sessions didn't bring relief?" It's a common question, and we have the answers! Our physical therapy visits are all about assessment, helping us understand your unique situation: · What previous therapies have you tried? · What triggers hip pain? · What provides relief, if anything? These insights are crucial in tailoring a plan just for you. For those gearing up for surgery, we often introduce prehab – a pre-surgery regimen aiming to enhance soft tissue health and strength, ultimately boosting post-surgery outcomes. Did you know? 98% of our patients seek hip care expertise. Our team excels in both surgical and non-surgical approaches, often finding conservative solutions that sidestep the need for surgery altogether.

👏 We are proud to partner with The END Fund who are leading the way in NTD elimination. With their support MENTOR is helping to address the burden of neglected tropical diseases in Angola and South Sudan. Since 2012 a unique partnership between MENTOR and The END Fund has provided key technical and operational support to scale up mass drug administrations against schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminth infections, lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis across several provinces of Angola. This partnership enabled the mapping of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminth infections for the first time in the country, and subsequent impact assessment alongside the delivery of more than 35 million treatments. (Research article 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-V3QUuE) MENTOR and The END Fund have also partnered in South Sudan since 2017 to deliver treatments for lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis in the most remote areas of the country. This partnership has been providing essential support to the Ministry of Health in South Sudan to reach mobile populations in border areas. The results achieved led to a recent scale up of the work to additional states under Reaching the Last Mile Fund. (https://lnkd.in/e2SKAAkP) It is thanks to partnerships such as this that MENTOR has been supporting Ministry of Health’s to significantly scale up NTD control towards 2030 WHO targets, and remain committed to end NTDs in Angola, South Sudan and beyond. #SouthSudan #Angola #beatntds #ntds #massdrugadministrations #neglectedtropicaldiseases
