📓 New Blog Post: Hip Labral Tears 📓

Have you been dealing with a deep pain in your hip or groin area that has not been resolved with PT, injections, or medications? There is a possibility that you have been suffering from a labral tear deep within your hip joint!

🔗 https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/hip-labral-tears

🇮🇹 Sports Injury Of The Week: Hamstring Strain 🇮🇹

This past week, while stretching a single into a double against Team USA, Team Italy’s catcher Kyle Teel suffered a grade 2 hamstring strain. Unfortunately, that was the end of Teel’s tournament, and he returned to Chicago White Sox camp to get treatment and prepare for the beginning of his regular season.

As we have mentioned previously, muscle strains are graded from 1-3. With a grade 1 being the least significant, to a grade 3 which is a complete muscle tear. Grade 2 means there is partial muscle tearing, but he should be able to avoid surgery.

🗓️ With a grade 2 strain, it would be expected that Teel would miss the next four to six weeks now that he has returned to Chicago White Sox camp. This time frame will just be for return to sport specific activity, and he would likely need another two weeks in the minors to ramp back up his hitting and catching activity before returning to the White Sox.

📲 If you have suffered a hamstring injury and are struggling to return to competition, Functional Physical Therapy is here for you. We will have you back as quickly as possible, and also help to have your whole body prepared to avoid re-injury!

📣 Let’s talk about overhead stability and strengthening exercises! Far too many patients are told after a shoulder injury or shoulder surgery to never work above their heads again. That’s terrible advice. If you followed through on that recommendation, you would:

❌ Never reach up into a high cabinet.

❌ Never throw a ball.

❌ Never use that arm to wash or comb your hair.

Never give up moving any of your joints in the planes of motion that they have been designed to move through! By training in a weight bearing form like we do in Redcord, we safely train the body to accept stresses and reduce the likelihood of repeat injuries while working above your head!

⏮️ Throwback Thursday Blog Post: Sometimes Everyday Activities Are Enough ⏩

🫨 New Video Drop Wednesday: Benefits Of Perturbation 🫨

We shake the Redcord ropes for many reasons, all of which revolve around improving our patients ability to function outside of the ropes. These benefits include:

➖ Increasing the activation of the core stabilizing muscles.

➖ Decreasing pain by having multiple patterns of engagement to perform a movement.

➖ Increasing the mind-body connection so muscle activation will continue beyond the individual exercise.

💬 And many more!

⚾️ Sports Injury Of The Week: Spring Elbow Stiffness ⚾️

Cincinnati Reds ace pitcher Hunter Greene has been shut down this week with what was described as elbow stiffness. He was sent back to Cincinnati for further testing, and he is awaiting MRI results to determine the next course of action.

🗓️ Greene already had Tommy John surgery in 2019. There are not many starting pitchers in the MLB today that have not had Tommy John surgery, and unfortunately, it is becoming more likely for these same players to have repeat surgeries as well.

🔄 Last year, Greene pitched 40+ innings less than the year before after missing time with a groin strain in season. Despite the reduction in load on his arm last season, it appears that his arm may not have been ready for the beginning of the new season. More often, you see an early season injury after pitchers have pitched a career high in the number of innings the year before.

📲 If your child is a youth pitcher in the area or if you are experiencing pain after throwing with your child preparing for the upcoming baseball season, Functional Physical Therapy is the place for you! Our full body assessment will have you in the best position possible to reduce your pain now and be able to enjoy the upcoming season!

Do you feel tension building in your neck or upper back as the day goes along?

If so, give this simple thoracic mobility exercise at your desk a try! Stand in front of your desk, and place your forearms on the desktop. Step back far enough so you can hinge forward and drop your chest to the level of the desk. This will help extend your thoracic spine and stretch the lat muscles that commonly contribute to neck and upper back pain!

🔄 New Video Drop Wednesday: Pelvic Rotation With Redcord Axis 🔄

Do you feel stiffness in your lower back after walking for a short period of time?

Do you have a lot of tightness in your hips after your long run?

Are you having difficulty cutting and changing direction on the athletic field?

All of these may be due to lack of proper rotation of your pelvis! This Redcord exercise improves your ability to rotate the pelvis and allows for the core muscles to support the movement. Having the feet press down into the slings also allows for the patient to maintain the mobility once they are back in standing!

📲 To feel the difference and experience exercises that help you long after treatment, call Functional Physical Therapy!
