🪢 The standing shoulder extension, or Superman, in Redcord is a complete body exercise! We often utilize this exercise to improve your ability to reach overhead. But we can also use this exercise at Functional Physical Therapy to:

➖ Improve the mobility of the posterior chain, which includes the calves, hamstrings, glutes, quadratus lumborum (lower back), and the scapula! It also improves the mobility of all these groups of muscles working together!

➖ Improve knee extension and ability to maintain full knee extension as we bring our body weight forward like we do while walking.

➖ Increase the activation of the deep core and pelvis stabilizers. This helps to increase stability in standing and while performing all our everyday activities.

➖ Increase ankle dorsiflexion range of motion. This can reduce dragging of the toes, which can lead to both tripping and falling.

📲 When you are ready to experience the Redcord difference, simply contact Functional Physical Therapy!

🏋️‍♂️ New Blog Post: How To Progress Beyond PT Discharge 🏋️‍♂️

What is one of the most frustrating things for both a physical therapist and their patients?

It is repeating injuries because patients did not progress once they finished their course of PT visits!

Preventing your return to PT does not have to be complicated. It becomes easier when you progress with your activity after your visits! So let’s make sure that you can safely progress after you finish PT.

🖥️ New Video Drop Wednesday: Combating Long Periods Of Time On The Computer 🖥️

Do you work long hours at the computer and feel stiffness throughout your body by the end of the day? What can you do to help yourself?

🪢 This Redcord thoracic extension exercise is something that you can easily reproduce at your desk. This helps to move the spine in the opposite direction than when we sit slumped forward at the computer.

🪑 If you have a chair with wheels, we simply do the reverse of this. Your forearms go on the desk, and you press your chair backwards away from the desk. This will achieve the same motion of the entire spine and will help to reduce that end of the day stiffness and soreness!

💉 Surgery does not have to be your only option! With our unique approach to muscle activation and utilizing the pain-free exercises in Redcord, it can be amazing how the body moves again! Many times, movements are limited because of our brains’ perception that it will be painful. But, once it learns that it can be done without pain, many limitations can be eliminated!

📲 So if you have been told that surgery is the only option, but you are trying to avoid it, it might be time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy to experience the difference!

🏈 Sports Injury Of The Week: Knee Dislocation 🏈

Last weekend, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a dislocated knee during Monday Night Football. Hill had surgery the following day to relocate the knee and to repair multiple ligament tears.

🏥 Unlike when some other joints are dislocated, a knee dislocation is a medical emergency. Hill was transported directly to a local hospital shortly after he was carted off the field. Often the nerves or arteries that deliver blood to the lower leg can be damaged when a knee is dislocated.

🗓️ It is expected that Hill will be ready for the return of next season bearing no set backs. They announced no vascular damage following the surgery, so the major thing to look out for as he returns to activity will be problems from the nerves in the area.

This is a relatively rare injury and something that only a few professional athletes have returned from. But over the past few years, it has occurred a few times, most notably Nick Chubb, running back for the Houston Texans. He actually dislocated one knee in college and the other knee as a professional!

📲 If you have dealt with a dislocated knee or other severe ligament issue and are still limited with your activity, contact Functional Physical Therapy. We will assess all your underlying compensations and help you regain as much function as possible.

🏟️ Friday Night Lights!

‼️ There is no better way to spend a Friday night in the fall than under the lights at a local football game. We enjoy going to Noonan Field every chance we can to cheer on the Raiders!

We hope all our high school athletes remain healthy this season, but we are also available to help our injured Raiders during the season. Remember that injury prevention starts long before the season starts! It’s also important to play multiple sports over the year for the cross training effects!

📹 New Video Post Wednesday: Long Lever Arm Deep Front Line In Redcord 📹

We have talked previously about the adductor (inner thigh) muscles and the fascial chains. Now let’s talk about the two together!

While this exercise does certainly emphasize the adductors, by increasing the lever arm, it will also challenge:

➖ Ankle inverters, or the muscles on the medial side of the calf.

➖ Pelvic floor muscles.

➖ Abdominals, especially the deep abdominal muscles meant to stabilize the spine.

💬 And many more!

🔗 When you are ready to experience the exercises that are designed to link all these muscles together, it is time for you to contact Functional Physical Therapy.

🏈 Sports Injury Of The Week: Lisfranc Fracture 🏈

This past week, Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner suffered a season ending foot injury. While information is very limited, he underwent surgery already and is expected to be ready for the beginning of next season.

We believe, from what information is available, that Conner suffered a Lisfranc injury. These injuries occur when the bones of the midfoot (what makes up the arch of your foot) are either dislocated or fractured. These tend to be very difficult injuries to heal and often require surgery and extended periods of time out of sports.

➖ Non-surgical approaches to a Lisfranc surgery often involve casting and not weight bearing on the injured foot. This period ranges between 8-10 weeks. However, without a proper realignment of the bone/dislocation, surgery will be required following that period.

📲 If you have dealt with a Lisfranc injury and have been limited with your recovery, it is time to contact Functional Physical Therapy. We will have you moving safely and effectively as quickly as possible!

📣 Let’s talk about a few additional steps you can take to prevent suffering from turf toe!

➖ In our video post this week, we talked about maintaining the mobility of not only the toe, but the entire posterior chain.

➖ Additionally, we might need to address proper footwear. Whether the answer is high top shoes or steel toes to prevent the hyperextension of the toe, the proper shoe can help cut down on injury. Regardless of the type, having the laces tied tightly and shoes properly sized can help prevent turf toe.

➖In addition to footwear, if you are wearing cleats or turf shoes, make sure that they are the right combination for the surface you are playing on. Spikes that are too long can lead to feet being stuck in the turf, and worn out turf shoes may be too slippery and lead to the foot getting in bad positions while getting tackled.

🦶 New Blog Post: Turf Toe🦶

Let’s take a deeper look at the causes and treatment of turf toe and provide more injury prevention tips in this week’s blog post!

🔗 https://functional-physicaltherapy.com/blog/f/turf-toe

If you believe you have been limited with turf toe, even if it was not from a sports injury, take a few minutes to read a bit more about a true diagnosis. If these issues have been lingering for a long period of time, and fit the description for turf toe, it may be time to see a doctor for some advanced imaging. You can also just call Functional Physical Therapy, and we will assess if further referrals are necessary for you to get back to full health!
