Check out our latest blog on physical therapy for swimmer's shoulder: https://lnkd.in/grqdFrBb Swimming is a sport that primarily utilizes the upper body for propulsive force with 90% of the driving force provided by the torque generated from the shoulder. Swimmer’s shoulder is the most common swimming-related shoulder injury, often caused by overuse due to the repetitive overhead motion of the swim stroke that irritates and inflames the rotator cuff muscles and tendons, leading to pain and limited shoulder mobility. Physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments for swimmer’s shoulder, utilizing a targeted manual therapy, stretching, and strength and conditioning exercise program to restore shoulder function, mobility, and strength and a safe return to competitive swimming.

Check out our latest infographic on physical therapy management for scoliosis: https://lnkd.in/gjTwNsV6 Scoliosis is a condition that affects the normal shape of the spine, altering a person’s back alignment and posture and causing a lateral curvature of the spine. The abnormal curvature of the spine can place stress on the surrounding muscles and joints, causing loss of strength and flexibility in the spinal and back muscles over time. Physical therapy is an effective, non-invasive treatment method to manage scoliosis, stabilize the scoliosis curve, improve postural alignment, enhance neuromuscular control and muscular strength, and improve overall function in individuals with scoliosis.

Check out our latest blog on managing cervicogenic headaches with physical therapy: https://lnkd.in/gtpMuXEr Cervicogenic headaches are caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction in the upper cervical spine that refers pain to the head, often developing on one side of the head. Cervical spine dysfunction can be caused by irritation or compression of cervical nerves, muscle strains to the neck, shoulder, or upper back, arthritis, poor posture, or from an sports or whiplash injury. Physical therapy is often the first line of treatment for cervicogenic headaches and can help manage pain and address the underlying cause of the headache pain through a targeted manual therapy and strengthening exercises program.

Check out our blog on managing sports hernias with physical therapy: https://lnkd.in/ger4C6wq A sports hernia involves weakening or tearing in the muscles, tendons, or ligaments of the lower abdominal and groin area that leads to chronic pain, often caused by repetitive and forceful twisting of your pelvis that places tremendous stress on the lower abdominal and groin areas. Sports hernias are most seen in soccer players due to the dynamic nature of the sport, rapid changes in direction, intense sprinting, and repetitive twisting and turning when kicking. Physical therapy can help athletes manage and recover from a sports hernia, addressing underlying muscular imbalances that contributed to injury through targeted exercise, core strengthening, and manual therapy.

Check out our infographic on the benefits of physical therapy after a stroke: https://lnkd.in/gEZ2xsec Following a stroke, physical therapy is essential to help stroke survivors regain strength, coordination, balance, and motor control as well as address physiological impairments that result from a stroke through a supervised and customized exercise program. A stroke occurs when the blood flow to an area of the brain is decreased, obstructed, or stopped, which deprives the brain cells of oxygen, causing cell death. Physical therapists help stroke survivors optimize their function after the stroke, enhance their level of independence, and improve their quality of life. #strokeawarenessmonth

May is #OsteoporosisAwarenessMonth. Check out our latest blog on physical therapy's role in managing osteoporosis: https://lnkd.in/eSQdJjFP Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes decreased bone mineral density and changes in bone structure, leading to bones that are thin, porous, and brittle, and more susceptible to fractures. Osteoporosis is often a silent disease, in which the most common symptom is breaking a bone after a small fall or minor accident that wouldn’t normally cause a fracture. Factors, such as hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, a sedentary lifestyle, family history, and certain medications and diseases, can contribute to the development of osteoporosis. Physical therapy plays a critical role in managing osteoporosis, helping those with osteoporosis maintain and build bone density through a customized exercise program.

Check out our latest blog on physical therapy for perineal tears: https://lnkd.in/eGB_cB_C A perineal tear during childbirth is common during vaginal delivery, involving stretching or tearing of the perineum, the area between the vagina and anus. Perineal tears can lead to pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary or fecal incontinence, and painful sex. The risk of suffering a perineal tear is heightened if you are a first-time mom, had prolonged pushing during labor, delivered a large baby, used forceps during delivery, or if mom is of an older maternal age. Pelvic floor therapy with a physical therapist is one of the most effective and efficient ways to treat perineal pain after childbirth and restore function and strength to the pelvic floor muscles. #womenshealthmonth #womenshealthweek
