Need more direction on how to progress activity after an injury?

A gradual progression back to activity allows you to identify your body’s load tolerance. That is the starting point you can build from to progress activity. An activity can by progressed by intensity, frequency, or duration. In the earlier stages of returning to activity I recommend only progressing one of these things at a time.

As you progress, these different aspects of activity your tissue’s load capacity increases and you can start to be more aggressive with progressing more than one aspect at a time.

Let pain be your guide as you build up activity levels. It is important to load your muscles and tissue enough to make them stronger, but not too much to break things down. There is a fine balance, and everyone is different! That is why having an individualized approach to recovery is so important.

I always say: push to the pain, not through it. Some symptoms are okay to push through, and you should discuss that with your recovery healthcare team. If pain gets higher than the mild range, your body is telling you to slow down. That could mean to decrease speed or weight, or it could mean to shut it down- it just depends on what you are feeling and how long it lasts.

Regardless of symptoms, you should allow for more recovery time early on so you can build muscle faster and not just wear yourself down.

You should spend time cross training to decrease repetitive stress with your activity. It is also important to build up stability with accessory movement to support your performance.

I hope these tips are helpful!

It’s time for an intro post for my new followers!

I’m Kaylee- Your concierge physical therapist in the New Hampshire Lakes Region. I help active individuals get back to what they love doing so they can keep pushing their goals to the next level!

I recently began offering in-office appointments in addition to my concierge services, at Thrive in Laconia.

I am passionate about orthopedics, sports, and pelvic health for women. I look at the body as a whole to get to the root of your symptoms. It’s all connected!

Education for further understanding around the healing power of movement is very important to me. The more we know about our body, the better equipped we are to handle physical and mental stressors in life.

Fun facts: I live in Meredith, NH with my husband, Frank, who is also a PT. The outdoors keep us energized, so in our free time you’ll find us hiking, snowboarding, or kayaking. We even based our wedding around our love of snowboarding!

Pain is the body’s protector, but sometimes it can overreact. The brain controls the mind and the body. With all of the intricacies of pathways in the brain, it is impossible to separate mind and body.

Emotional stress can be stored in the body physically, just like physical pain can take a toll on emotional wellbeing.

The body can also remember trauma whether it’s conscience or not. So sometimes after injury, even if the body has healed from it, we can continue to feel pain. Our body thinks it is being helpful, but producing pain with the most basic tasks and small movements that actually are safe, are hindering recovery in the long run.

Pain is very individual and needs to be treated that way. Addressing the overactive pain system is just as imperative as addressing the physical impairments.

Mind set and positivity can actually make physiologic changes in the body. You can also retrain your pain system to decrease its response if you are getting unproductive signals. This is why I teach affirmations.

If you are dealing with pain that you just can’t shake and you have tried the traditional movement based approach without success, try finding someone who takes a full body holistic approach.

Breathing is so important to the body’s stability and wellbeing.

When we aren’t using optimal breathing mechanics, we can overuse neck and shoulder muscles contributing to more tightness. Poor breathing mechanics can also cause increase stress on the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles.

When we learn how to breathe using the diaphragm, we can decrease the compensation of upper chest and neck muscles, and disperse pressure for optimal core stability.

From a relaxation standpoint, breathing is key for bringing us out of our fight or flight nervous system. This is important for mental and physical stress management.

I use breathing so often for many different goals with my clients regardless of if they are seeing me for performance physical therapy or pelvic health!

This is not your average physical therapy. I’m dedicated to helping you unleash your full potential and thrive in your active lifestyle!

I will take the time to thoroughly understand your movement patterns and address your symptoms while teaching you how to get back to your active lifestyle.

You will always be involved in choosing techniques that you respond best to and will know why we are doing each technique. Knowledge is power, and can be powerful in the healing process.

What a beautiful weekend to kickoff the adventure of a lifetime with my husband!

Everything about our wedding weekend was perfect and we felt so much love from everyone that could make it and everyone celebrating with us from afar.

Despite all of the effort and stress of planning, the best part was the warmth and friendship of everyone that attended our cozy weekend at the inn. The energy and love that you all brought made our wedding and could never have been planned.

My husband pulled off the best surprise of all by planning our honeymoon and letting me in on it the morning after our wedding. He knows me so well and this allowed me to stay fully present in the wedding celebration.

We are now relaxing on the beaches of Aruba, resting up for our 5 day hiking adventure to Machu Picchu in Peru!

I can’t wait to share all of our memories when we get back!
