#announcement #memorial #31 #SEAL
If you haven't heard I've sold my clinic and building and will be moving to Texas soon. One thing that was very important to me was that the #BillMulder #MemorialRig stay in place along with the information about Bill's service to our country. I'm happy to announce that when the new owners take over soon the memorial will live on as will Bill's memory. I'm very thankful to the new owners for understanding the importance of this memorial and agreeing to keep it in place, even though I'll be gone.
Special thanks to Central College Football teammates - Brian Gordon, Ron Saak, Travis Lynn and Ray Wyse for helping with all aspects of the memorial over the years. Also special thanks to ValorFit for working with Bill's teammates over the years and attending our functions in Bill's memory.

#announcement
7 weeks ago I was approached by an entity to buy my clinic/bldg/equipment. We decided to make a deal and are in the paperwork stage of closing. I will announce an official closing date when I know.
For now I'm still seeing patients on a limited basis and getting ready for the transition.
As for my family and I we are following our dreams and moving to Texas. I will continue working in PT and Jennifer will work in a library position.
We had always dreamed of retiring in Texas, so when this opportunity came along we decided to start the adventure 20 years early.
Thank you for a great run in Pella for the past 24 years and 14 years on my own at Sterling Physical Therapy!!

knee pain - before and after
#beforeandafter
Yesterday we were working with this #tacticalathlete from the #MarionCountySheriffsOffice (#Iowa).
This #deputy had been experiencing anterior knee pain. We resolved the knee pain and wanted to evaluate his squat form to make improvements. This is a set without any correction. Stay tuned for the corrected squat form on the next post.

1 Leg Depth jump
#DepthJump
In this video Patrick Dooley DPT,OCS,ATC demonstrates to #AngieBatesPTA how to do a 1 leg depth jump. Key points are not letting the hips tilt, keep knee from collapsing in and avoiding rotation all motions that could set a person up for an ACL injury. One thing we were not able to measure when this video was made, but now can is how fast her knee is bending, our eyes can't quantify that. Now we have dorsaVi USA the monitor can tell us if there are side to side differences that need addressed.

Balance
#Balance
#BodyControl following an injury, or even to improve performance is an often missed component in Physical Therapy and #SportsPerformance in general. Here we have Travis demonstrating a simple balance drill on 1 leg working to keep his knee bent and controlled. He adds a degree of difficulty by closing an eye, which happens many times in sports when you engage an opponent. Now Angie takes over as a patient and you can see that her knee moves more, so she could benefit from some advanced body control drills. Consider this with your athletes. If you have questions give us a call at 641.621.1401.

Football Knee
#SportsSpecific
At Sterling Physical Therapy we try to replicate an athletes given sport as quickly as we can in the clinic. Here we have a Pella Christian High School athlete who is working through a knee injury. We are specifically working on knee control and jump/landing mechanics while adding a #football into the drill due to the positions he plays on offense and defense.
You will see that on jump 2 he lands awkwardly, and I ask him if he felt that he replies that he did. That is a big step for him to relearn body awareness both the correct positioning and knowing when it wasn't correct. Learning has occured.
