๐Ÿ‘Ÿ New Blog Post: Foot Pain After Running ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ

Do you ever have pain in your feet or ankles after running?

Does this pain last for a long period of time after you finished your run?

Is pain, or fear of more pain, preventing you from going for another run?

๐Ÿ”— https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/foot-pain-post-running

โฌ†๏ธ If you answered yes to any of the above questions, there may be some simple changes that you can make to finally stop these lingering issues. You do not have to stop running simply because your feet hurt. In fact, if you can make some changes, you could be completely fine!

๐Ÿ“ฒ If you give these simple things a try and are still need of assistance, call Functional Physical Therapy to schedule your full body assessment!

๐Ÿ“ผ New Video Drop Wednesday: Adductor (inner thigh) Mobility In Redcord ๐Ÿ“ผ

The muscles of the inner thigh, or the adductors, are one of the least utilized muscle groups in training and in rehabilitation. But they have an important role in our everyday functioning! The adductors are used daily to:

โž– Stabilize the pelvis and lower spine with all athletic motions.

โž– Lift the leg back towards your other leg while getting into a chair or car.

โž– Support the inside of your knee to prevent collapsing while lunging, lifting, or carrying.

๐Ÿ’ฌ And many more!

๐Ÿ“ฒ Decreasing tension and tightness in the inner thighs in Redcord can help to improve our performance with all our everyday activities. And if it seems like what has been missing from your rehabilitation, it might be time to contact Functional Physical Therapy!

โšพ๏ธ Sports Injury Of The Week: Fractured Thumb โšพ๏ธ

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk suffered a fractured thumb on his throwing hand after being hit by a foul ball. Kirk will likely be out 6-8 weeks to allow the bone to heal, and he will then have to work himself back into being able to grip both the ball and bat before returning to play.

๐Ÿ˜Ž Unfortunately, many modern catchers are not used to protecting their throwing hand. Instead of a traditional catching position with their throwing hand behind their backs, modern catchers often have the hand out front. They believe it helps with throwing out runners, but it also puts the hand at risk of being hit by a foul ball.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป The thumb is critically important for gripping both the ball and the bat. Without return of full mobility and strength of the thumb, it would be challenging to control his throws around the base path. But, he might also be challenged to control the bat and be able to maintain grip strength for power with a compromised thumb.

๐Ÿ“ฒ If you have been affected by a hand or specifically a thumb fracture, Functional Physical Therapy is here to help! We will help to get your range of motion back and help improve the grip strength with the rest of the muscles of your arm.

๐Ÿ“The Neshanic Station Truss Bridge was constructed in 1896, and is only a few minutes drive from Functional Physical Therapy. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. It has kept its original structure and is a single lane bridge both into/out of historic Neshanic Station.

๐Ÿž๏ธ Taking a few minutes to walk along the banks of the South Branch River, you can also see the remains of some abandoned train bridges. Every Saturday from April through September, there is a flea market held right at the end of the bridge.

๐Ÿ“€ New Video Drop Wednesday: Quadriceps Stability In Redcord ๐Ÿ“€

Do you use the knee extension machine at the gym but still have trouble getting up/down the stairs or out of a chair?

โ€ผ๏ธ If so, it may not be the strength of your quadriceps you need to be working on, but instead your bodyโ€™s ability to use those quadriceps with the other parts of your body.

This Redcord exercise combines the quadriceps, anterior core muscles, and scapular stabilizers to create a full body stability improvement!

๐Ÿ“ฒ When you are ready to experience the difference of your body working together, it is time for you to call Functional Physical Therapy.

๐Ÿง  New Blog Post: Concussions Are Not Graded ๐Ÿง 

While most athletic injuries - including muscle strains and ligament sprains - are graded in severity, the same is not true for concussions. Even though you may hear someone saying they had a minor concussion or they had a severe concussion, these terms are not factual.

๐Ÿ”— https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/concussions-are-not-graded

๐Ÿง  A concussion occurs when shear forces are placed on the brain from a high velocity change of direction. We do not grade that incident, only whether a concussion occurred or not. All concussions should be treated the same from the beginning, which will prevent prolonged symptoms.

๐Ÿ“ฒ If you have been struggling with a concussion and are ready to get back to your normal life, contact Functional Physical Therapy!

๐ŸŽฅ New Video Drop Wednesday: Full Body Stability Exercises ๐ŸŽฅ

Not many people realize that limitations with mobility of the hips can be caused from an inability to activate the pelvis!

โฌ†๏ธ In the video above, the arms are resisted to improve the ability to posteriorly tilt the pelvis. When we can properly posteriorly tilt the pelvis, we can improve the ability to flex the hips further. This can help with getting in/out of the car, ascending stairs, walking on uneven surfaces without catching your toes, or squatting down to pick something off the floor!

๐Ÿ“ฒ If you have been stretching but canโ€™t seem to improve your range of motion, it might be the same issue with engaging your pelvis. When you are ready to have that assessed and finally improve your mobility, call or text Functional Physical Therapy!

โšพ๏ธ Sports Injury Of The Week: Hamstring Strain โšพ๏ธ

This past week, outfielder Juan Soto suffered a strained hamstring. Known for not missing many games, we know this strain has to be significant for Soto to go on the 10 day injured list (IL).

As an outfielder, this strain will not only affect his power at the plate. The ability to cut, change direction, and run down fly balls in the outfield may be significantly challenged if Soto returns in the next few weeks.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ Unfortunately, the weather in the Northeast may be a contributing factor for some of these early season muscle strains. Soto is from the Dominican Republic, and spending Spring Training in Florida gets most players acclimated to playing in warmer weather. So many players may tighten up and have trouble adjusting to the cold spring air, which can increase the episodes of strains and sprains.

๐Ÿ“ฒ If you have been limited with a calf strain or repeated strains, Functional Physical Therapy is here to help! Call, text, or email us to schedule your full body assessment.

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Turn your shoes over and take a look! How they are wearing down can be a sign of potential issues with several other parts of your body.

โฌ†๏ธ Increased wearing across the toe of the shoe may be a sign of a toe drag. Toe dragging occurs with weakness of the quadriceps or ankle dorsiflexors.

โฌ†๏ธ Wear on the inside (medial) side of the shoe may be a sign of intrinsic foot issues. You may be collapsing your arches when you are standing on the foot and may have weakness of the muscles within your foot.

โฌ†๏ธ Wearing of the back of the shoe may be a sign of shoes that are either fit incorrectly or that you may be wearing incorrectly. An example may be not tying and untying your shoes each time you wear them and simply slipping them on and off.

๐Ÿ’ฌ So much more can be learned by looking at the bottom of your normal walking or running shoes. Take a few minutes to check yours out. If you need further assistance figuring out the potential causes, contact Functional Physical Therapy!

๐Ÿ“ผ New Video Drop Wednesday: Tricep Presses In Redcord ๐Ÿ“ผ

Do you difficulty pushing open doors or pushing a stroller down the street?

Are you unable to reach and put something on the shelf over your head?

Then you should work on how to better utilize your tricep muscles. They work to fully extend the elbows, both with activity and with this exercise in Redcord. But the triceps are also important in stability for the shoulder with any high velocity activity like throwing a ball.

๐Ÿ“ฒIf you think you have been missing some tricep focus in your training or rehabilitation, contact Functional Physical Therapy!
