Meadowbrook Rehabilitation Bolingbrook’s Post

October is American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Physical Therapy Month, and this year’s focus is on fall prevention—a crucial topic for us at Mission Gait, where our commitment to gait rehabilitation makes fall prevention a top priority. 🌟 If you have peripheral neuropathy or decreased feeling in your feet that affects how you walk, PTs specializing in balance and gait can help lower your risk of falling. Balance training may even improve position sensation in some people with peripheral neuropathy. If you're interested in the research behind physical therapy for neuropathy, an excellent article is PMID: 2744506. 📚 #missiongait #choosept #fallprevention #peripheralneuropathy #physicaltherapy

Updated for 2024 ☺️ (last done 2 years ago & sold out!) This webinar is perfect for you if you are already trained in vaginal/pelvic floor assessment but want more confidence in how to do them in more functional positions and/or movements. Attending this webinar will give you the answers to; * Why choose functional assessment? * How does the pelvic floor and vagina differ in standing compared to lying down? * How does crook lie vs standing assessment compare? * Can you predict your standing assessment from your crook lie assessment? * What does the research say on all of this? * How do you anatomically orientate yourself for a standing assessment? * How do you assess the pelvic floor in standing or during movement eg squatting or deadlifting? * PLUS - Any questions you have for Helen on female pelvic health and the chance to discuss this topic with like minded people. Here's what previous attendees said: "Immediately applicable in practice" "Clear concise information, felt that could ask lots of questions, very friendly and warm course" "Evidenced based, practical considerations of functional pelvic floor examinations, thought provoking" Recording sent to all ticket holders.

Thank you, AO Spine! I am truly humbled to be honored with the Luiz Vialle Award! My journey with the AO Spine KF Trauma has been a remarkable blend of personal and academic growth. In this esteemed forum, we strive to narrow the gap between opinion and evidence, a mission that profoundly resonates with me. What are your thoughts on spinal trauma? Where do you see the most challenging knowledge gap? https://lnkd.in/eD4TjdJs

Check out this great course! Completed a comprehensive course on spinal stenosis which was very well explained by Dr.Mahmoud Saad. Acquired in-depth knowledge and abilities to handle this illness more effectively. Ready to apply this knowledge in practice

Do you have a job that requires looking up a significant amount of time? Does looking up create pain in your neck? When we look straight up, most of the movement occurs in the middle of the neck (C4, C5 and to some degree C3 and C6). This is demonstrated by a skin fold in the back of your neck. To alleviate excessive wear and tear on those segments, try using the following combination of movement. Tilt your head to the left while rotating your head to the right. The opposite also works. You will notice less of a skin fold in the back of the neck, suggesting movement is better shared throughout the cervical segments. If you want to stay up-to-date with us, follow our Page.

Why are tight hamstrings bad? Tight hamstrings can lead to lower back pain, bad posture, imbalances of muscles, and knee pain. If your hamstrings aren't flexible enough they will be more susceptible to injury. Once your hamstrings are tight, other muscle groups will follow resulting in stiff joints and posture problems.
