If you want MORE from healthcare
HeyReader,
Hope your November is starting out with a bang!
We wrapped up Physical Therapy Month in October but wanted to give you some last thoughts on how physical therapy effects you.
I was once on vacation and met a woman from out of the country and she asked me "what do you do?". It always makes me pause and think for a second. Describing WHAT Physical Therapy is to someone whose never experienced it, is actually kind of hard. I make people feel better? I make people more mobile? I make people stronger? Physical therapy can be so many things and be different for many people. Someone who may have just been discharged from the hospital may simply think of physical therapy as the person who helped me get ready to leave the hospital with my walker.
I made a post on Facebook that talked about "WHERE" you go to physical therapy can strongly depend on the services you get AND on your OUTCOMES.
Truth: using your insurance, you can go to physical therapy until you are independent or functional enough. You may still have declining quality of life, you may still have pain. You might feel better but that goal for running your 5k or getting back into weight lifting wasn't even a discussion! WHY? Because insurance won't pay for your wellness or comfort
This is why C.O.M.P.E.T.E Physical Therapy & Wellness THRIVES to see people who want more from healthcare than medications, unknown cost, imaging and injections.

Hey Reader, Happy Monday and President's Day! If you haven't personally seen me for a treatment at my gym, then you probably don't know what type of practice I run. This may come off shocking but not all physical therapists treat the same way. Many treat differently based on education and experience. The cookie cutter approach to treatment shouldn't be the same for everyone, because not every person's cause of pain is the same. I'm also not the type of clinician who claims to fix your...
Tis the season for hamstring strains!...It's amazing how injuries seem to come in waves. I've had runners, football players and cross fitters recently with acute hamstring strains recently and this particular group of muscles don't discriminate! Here's why... The hamstrings are actually a group of muscles on the back of the thigh that are responsible for bending the knee in isolation but during running also helps control your leg speed forward (decelerates your leg) and assists to pull the...
Runners! Try this mobility test for spine extension. Step 1: lay completely flat on your stomach. Step 2: fully straighten the elbows while keeping the hip bones on the floor If you have a nice uniform curve throughout the spine (think of a soft concave curve), then congratulations...you have great spine extension for running! But if you find the hip bones come up OR you feel pinching or pain in the back, OR present with a straight spine and hinging at the low back, you may be lacking some...
