📼 New Video Drop Wednesday: Neural Input With Full Posterior Chain Activation

Our patient is engaging all the muscles from the neck to the feet when he presses into Redcord and lifts his body.

🧠 We are increasing neural signals from the scapulae and hands by having him move the vibrating ball back and forth between his hands.

He is creating a movement pattern that is not only giving the body confidence to move pain-free, but also engaging the posterior muscles of the body to remain in better posture throughout the day.

📲 When you are ready to feel the difference of neuromuscular activation using Redcord, reach out to Functional Physical Therapy!

🏈 Sports Injury Of The Week: Non Contact Ankle Fracture 🏈

Unfortunately, while running out the clock last week, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix suffered a non-contact ankle fracture. Almost immediately after the game, the fracture was found, and he was scheduled for surgery two days later. His Broncos lost the next week and were eliminated, but he should be ready for the start of next season.

👀 Look closely at his right ankle in the picture. You can see that while he cuts on the grass, his foot is forced into excessive eversion (rolling on the outside of the foot). That likely fractured his distal fibula. And if that fracture was displaced or not a clean line across the bone, it was the likely cause of the immediate surgery.

A distal fibula fracture is probably most problematic for causing instability of the ankle. The amount of bracing necessary to support the bone and ankle would be so great that a mobile quarterback like Nix would lose much of his ability if he tried to play through.

📲 If you have dealt with an ankle fracture or chronic ankle instability, contact Functional Physical Therapy to get to the bottom of your issues!

We may be getting ahead of ourselves, but as long as the ground is not covered in snow, the Sourland Mountain Preserve is a great place to go for your daily dose of nature!

📍 Located right here in Hillsborough off East Mountain Road, the Sourland Mountain Preserve has several trails including a five mile ridge trail. It combines flat and uneven terrain, but it is not an overly challenging climb at any point!

📸 If you have any good pictures from the Preserve feel free to share them in the comments!

🦶 New Blog Post: Lisfranc Injuries 🦶

Last week, we discussed the prevalence of toe injuries this year in the NFL. This week, we move up the body just slightly. The midfoot, or a Lisfranc injury, has been a fairly common injury in football - and most other sports - the past several years!

🔗 https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/lisfranc-injuries

There is no athlete, or person on the planet, who can function without good foot mechanics. So take a few minutes to learn more about this common injury and what you can do to prevent yourself from suffering from it!

📳 New Video Drop Wednesday: Self Perturbation In Redord 📳

Watch this patient’s foot while performing side-lying hip adduction with Redcord. That’s showing instability throughout the entire chain of muscles between the core, adductors (inner thigh), and to the inside of the foot!

📳 While that vibration might seem concerning, it is not uncommon for someone working in the unstable environment of Redcord. If it was excessive, we could add the bungee support around the patients waist to give her more support.

This can also be a sign of improved activity of muscles that have not been as active following an injury. If you have been having pain in the lower leg with activity, this vibration may actually allow these muscles to be more supportive during everyday activities!

01/20/2026

🙏🏼 Thank you Gia for sharing your experience and for being part of the Functional Physical Therapy family!

🪢 Redcord certainly is a unique system! Through a series of ropes and bungees, we can support, reactivate, and stabilize the entire body all at once. This unique tool is something that is not found in most places, but it is what you will be using when you come to Functional Physical Therapy!

🧐 When you are finally ready to get your functional abilities back, simply contact us at Functional Physical Therapy!

🏈 Sports Injury Of The Week: Oblique Strain During Off Week 🏈

This past week, the Seattle Seahawks earned a bye week in the NFL playoffs. But despite that, their quarterback Sam Darnold strained his oblique while practicing. They gave him two days of no throwing, and he was able to play without any restriction in the Seahawks’ victory Saturday night.

Previously, we discussed the coaching decisions to rest or not to rest players going into the playoffs. One risk of extra rest is increased stiffness and tightness upon returning to sport specific activity, which is what we probably saw happen to Darnold.

An oblique injury may not be a significant injury for most athletes, but for throwers, it can be very limiting! A throw, especially one with high speed or a greater distance, requires a great deal of force from the obliques. They work to increase the rotation of the ribcage and trunk, allowing for more power with the throwing motion.

📲 If you have been limited with an oblique injury, Functional Physical Therapy is here to help! We will help improve your core stability to support your body while throwing and help you return to competition without restrictions!

Full body suspension might be the most eye-opening experience at Functional Physical Therapy, but it may also be one of the most beneficial! This unique experience is not something that you can just get anywhere, and we utilize it to:

➖ Completely unweight the body to reduce any pain with exercise or functional activities.

➖ Reduce the load on the core muscles. By reducing the stress, it allows for improved activation of the deep core muscles.

➖ Improve muscle endurance. Without the weight of the body, we can work on holding the positions for longer periods of time to improve endurance with all traditional movements!

💬 And many more!

📲 If any of the above seem to be what has been lacking from your recovery, it might be time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy to experience full body suspension yourself!

🦶 New Blog Post: The NFL Year Of Toe Injuries 🦶

This year seemed to be dominated by talk about quarterbacks in the NFL and their big toes. Sports Illustrated even had a ten page article about it in one of their recent issues. And while we previously discussed the big toe at length, we wanted to discuss some differences in approaches to this injury taken this past season.

🔗 https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/the-nfl-year-of-toe-injuries

Joe Burrow and Brock Purdy each missed extended periods of time because of big toe injuries, but they had completely different approaches to their rehabs. Take a few minutes to learn more about each, especially if you have dealt with big toe issues yourself!

📲 After reading, if you feel like you need more information or are ready to put your big toe issues behind you, contact Functional Physical Therapy!$

📽️ New Video Drop Wednesday: Lateral Line Activation In Redcord 📽️

We have shown videos of side-lying hip abduction in Redcord before, but we wanted to showcase the entire lateral line connection with this exercise!

While this highlights the gluteus medius muscle, it will also work to engage:

➖ The outer core muscles that are responsible for moving the spine to the sides with everyday activities.

➖ The fibularis muscles on the outside of the shin, which assist with ankle mobility and stability while cutting and changing direction.

➖ The intercostal muscles that expand the ribcage with every breath we take.

➖ The scalenes and upper traps that move the neck to the side.

There are so many muscles that can be involved in this one exercise, which can be done pain-free and made as easy as the patient needs, thanks to Redcord!
