🖐️ Certified Hand Therapy Spotlight 🧠✨

Did you know that mirror therapy is a powerful tool in the world of Occupational Therapy/Certified Hand Therapy (CHT)?

Mirror therapy uses the reflection of a healthy limb to "trick" the brain, helping retrain motor pathways and reduce pain. It’s especially effective for:

🔹 Nerve injuries
🔹 Phantom limb pain
🔹 Post-stroke recovery
🔹 Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

CHTs are uniquely trained to guide patients through advanced rehab techniques like mirror therapy to restore hand function and improve quality of life. Our Certified Hand Therapist, Sara Carlson, would love to help you reach your goals! If you are struggling with any of these concerns, call our Select Therapy clinic in Baxter to schedule an appointment at:

🏌️‍♂️ Want a Better Golf Swing? Start with Physical Therapy! 🏌️‍♀️

Golf is a game of power, precision, and mobility. Physical therapy can help you improve all three👌! These physical therapy exercises focus on the key movement patterns that drive an efficient, injury-free swing:

1. Static & dynamic balance: ➡️Builds control & stability in your stance
✔️ Single-Leg Balance - stand on one foot for 30 seconds.
🏆Increase the challenge: add head turns or close your eyes!
✔️ Single-Leg RDL: Mimics swing mechanics under dynamic conditions

2. Latissimus Dorsi Lengthening: ➡️ Improves shoulder & overhead range for a smoother backswing
✔️ Seated Lat Stretch – Flex forward in a chair with your upper arms on a table. Bring your hands to your shoulders. Opens up tight lats that restrict rotation

3. Thoracic Spine Mobility: ➡️ Activates mid-back mobility critical for a full turn
✔️ Open Book Stretch – Restores rotational movement through the upper back

4. Left Hip Internal Rotation (for right-handed golfers): ➡️ Improves follow-through mechanics and reduces compensations
✔️ Supine Hip Internal Rotation – Targets joint mobility for smoother hip turn
🔄Reverse this stretch to target the right hip for left-handed golfers

⏱️ Perform 2–3 sets, 10–12 reps (or 30–60 sec holds). Add this to your pre-round warm-up or weekly training routine.

Train smart. Swing smooth.⛳️

🧠 What Is Graphesthesia and why does it matter🔠❓

Have you ever had someone draw a shape or letter/number on your skin (without watching what they're drawing 🫣)? That cool sense is called graphesthesia! It may sound like a fun game, but it’s actually something doctors sometimes check to make sure your brain and nerves are working properly. If you can’t figure out what’s being drawn, it might mean there’s a problem with how your brain processes touch.

🔍 Why It Matters
Testing graphesthesia is often used in neurological (nerves and brain) exams to assess sensory processing and brain function. If someone has difficulty recognizing the traced characters, it could indicate damage to the brain's parietal lobe (where the brain interprets pain, touch, joint position, and temperature) or issues with sensory pathways.

👩‍⚕️ Common Clinical Use:
Neurologists and OT's/PT's may use it alongside other sensory tests (like stereognosis - the ability to figure out what's in the hand without using vision) to evaluate conditions such as:
Stroke
Dementia
Peripheral neuropathy (nerve endings in the hands and feet aren't giving the proper feedback to the brain)
Cortical lesions (damage to specific areas of the brain)

✋ Fun Fact:
Graphesthesia is not just limited to the arm—any skin surface can be used, but the hand is most sensitive due to its rich network of sensory receptors.

If you or your loved one has difficulty with sensation, come and see us at Select Therapy! Our team of experts would love to work with you and help you reach your health goals!

Our Story

Select Therapy opened its doors in August of 2003 with just a single physical therapist and a mission to provide quality, patient-based care in a friendly environment. While our staff has certainly grown since that first day, our mission remains the same: to help patients throughout central Minnesota meet their health goals.

With 45 minutes of direct patient-therapist care at each visit, we work hard to get our patients better–faster. Whether it’s relief from chronic headaches, a sp*edy return to work after an injury, or rehabilitation after surgery, the therapists at Select Therapy will make your health goal their top priority.
