Thank you THERAPY1ONE!

Excellent experience thanks to James, he is an excellent therapist. After a horrible experience with prior therapy at another outpatient center I was extremely worried of how it would be. I was at 98 degrees when I finished in April and 112 degrees on May 23^rd ,when I saw my surgeon. I hope to be at 120 degrees with my knee on August 22^nd. Therapy is awesome and the staff at THERAPY1ONE are wonderful.

Choose THERAPY1ONE to relieve BACK PAIN

After an episode of low back pain has lasted two or three weeks, or if there are frequent recurrences of low back pain, it is reasonable to consider physical therapy for back treatment.

The goals of a physical therapist are to decrease pain, increase function, restore normal movement, and prevent recurrences.

Some of the treatments used for back pain include, but are not limited to:

Massage therapy-Increases circulation to the affected area. There are several techniques and devices used in massage therapy.

Electrotherapy-This involves sending gentle electric currents through the skin to stimulate muscular contraction, increase muscle strength, and increase the flow of neurochemicals to the area.

Ultrasound-Sound waves used to penetrate the skin and cause soft tissue to vibrate; creating deep gentle heat that increases blood flow, relieves pain and inflammation, and reduces muscle spasms.

Exercises can also correct back problems, help prevent new ones, and relieve back pain, particularly after an injury. Proper exercise strengthens back muscles that support the spine and strengthens the abdomen, arms, and legs, reducing strain on the back. Exercise also strengthens the bones and reduces the risk of falls and injuries. It is essential to speak to a physical therapist or M.D. before starting an exercise program.

THERAPY1ONE works with specialists from all over the United States to provide extensive patient education and customized treatment plans specific to their injury to help get them back to the things they love to do.

If you are ready for relief, and tired of “masking” your pain, treat the cause, not just the systems!

Physical Therapy After Meniscus Surgery by J.S. Copper

Physical therapy after repairing a torn meniscus is important to ease your knee back to full recovery to handle daily activities. Work with your doctor to design a rehabilitation regime that includes physical therapy and home exercises.

1.    Meniscus Tear

o    A meniscus tear is a common knee joint injury that usually occurs while taking part in sports activities when the knee is twisted while it is partially flexed and the foot is firmly planted on the ground, says Yahoo! Health. The meniscus is a rubbery tissue that acts as a shock absorber between the femur and the tibia, evenly distributing the weight put upon the knee.

Postsurgery

o    Immediately following surgery, your doctor may suggest that you stay immobilized for two weeks, not moving your knee more than absolutely necessary. After this two-week period, limited range of motion actions can be started to prepare your knee for your its daily workload. Activities such as running, tennis and basketball that put a high level of stress on the knee should be avoided for at least a couple months after the surgery.

Physical Therapy

o    The goals of physical therapy are to improve your mobility, relieve pain and restore overall fitness of the knee. Incorporating physical therapy into you postsurgery regime is said to accelerate the rehabilitation process by immediately bringing the knee to full rang of motion and allowing it to bear weight, according to a study in The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery.

Physical therapy is important to help you get back on your feet more quickly.

Spondylosis

Spondylosis is a general term used by doctors to refer to degeneration of the spine. The term itself is derived from the Latin spondy, meaning spine; and losis, meaning problem. Many – but not all – doctors use the term to refer specifically to arthritis of the spine, or spinal osteoarthritis, which affects the joints between vertebrae. However, spondylosis also can refer to degenerative conditions affecting other parts of the spinal anatomy, including the intervertebral discs (degenerative disc disease), ligaments, and other tissue.

These symptoms normally can be managed using conservative treatment, such as pain medication or physical therapy.

Is Scar Tissue Permanent?

Scar tissue forms after injury to the normal collagen cells in the body. If you cut yourself, have surgery, or tear tissue in the body, scar tissue will develop. The development of scar tissue is part of the normal healing process in the body.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a substance that is present in all of our body parts. There is collagen in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. There is also collagen in skin and bones. The cellular makeup of collagen makes it very strong due to the alignment of collagen cells. It can resist tensile forces, such as stretching and pulling, without tearing or breaking.
How Does Scar Tissue Form?
After injury to a muscle, tendon, skin, or ligaments in the body, the inflammatory process starts to heal the injury site. This process helps to ensure that the injured site is cleaned up and new cells are brought to the site that will soon become healthy tissue. Some of these new cells are collagen cells.
Unfortunately, the body does not know exactly how to arrange the collagen cells so that they become healthy tissue that can resist tensile and stretching forces. The collagen cells become a balled-up clump of tissue called scar tissue.
Is Scar Tissue Permanent?
After scar tissue forms in the body, it is not permanent. The scar tissue can become stronger and better able to tolerate stretching forces through a process called remodeling. Remodeling scar tissue is a must to ensure that the muscle, tendon, skin, bone, or ligament becomes normal, healthy tissue again.
Remodeling Scar Tissue
Scar tissue remodeling occurs as you start to stretch and pull on it. The stretching of the scar tissue helps to align the collagen fibers to allow them to return to normal. This realignment of the collagen fibers makes the tissue better able to tolerate the forces that are placed on it during the day.
If you strain your hamstring muscle or tendon, for example, you'd follow the R.I.C.E protocol for a few days. After some healing has taken place, gentle stretching of the hamstring muscle is indicated to help ensure that the scar tissue is remodeled properly.
After fracture or injury to bone, weight bearing with the bone helps to remodel the bone tissue to make it strong again. Wolff's Law states that bone grows and remodels in response to the specific load applied to it. Therefore, bone becomes stronger as you place more and more stress on it. After fracture, your physical therapist can help you learn strategies to place the correct amount of stress in the correct direction to help with the remodeling process of bone.
If you have had surgery, a scar may be present near the site of your surgery. Scar tissue massage is another way to help remodel scar tissue in the skin. This can also help loosen any adhesions between the scar and the underlying tissue and fascia.
For example, if you have knee replacement surgery, a surgical scar will be present in the front of the knee. This scar can become adhered to the underlying tissue and prevent normal range of motion from occurring. Scar massage, along with knee flexibility and strengthening exercises, can help loosen the scar tissue and ensure that proper remodeling takes place. Remodeling of the scar tissue is an important step to achieving full range of motion in the knee.
Many people feel that scar tissue is a permanent or negative thing. Scar tissue is part of the normal healing process in the body. Scar tissue that has not been properly remodeled can become a problem. That is why it is important to speak with your doctor and physical therapist if you are injured or have had surgery. Learning the correct methods to remodel scar tissue can help decrease pain, improve range of motion, and restore normal functional mobility.

Could fats lead to aggression?

Could certain food cause aggression?

Maybe, according to a recent analysis of 945 adults in the online journal Public Library of Science (PLoS) One. Those who reported eating more food that had trans fat said they behaved with more aggression and were less patient compared with those whose diets had less trans fat. The troublesome fat is found in certain baked goods, fast food, and margarine.

Vertigo

I had vertigo starting last year in December. I went to Dr. Caspary and he sent me to physical therapy @ THERAPY1ONE. After four sessions of physical therapy @ THERAPY1ONE I was relieved of the vertigo. After having lived with this problem for four months I cannot say thank you to THERAPYONE. I would recommend this facility to anyone!

Happy Mother's Day to all from THERAPY1ONE

 

 

God's Helpers

God could not be in every place
With loving hands to help erase
The teardrops from each baby's face,
And so He thought of mother.

He could not send us here alone
And leave us to a fate unknown;
Without providing for His own,
The outstretched arms of mother.

God could not watch us night and day
And kneel beside our crib to pray,
Or kiss our little aches away;
And so He sent us mother.

And when our childhood days began,
He simply could not take command.
That's why He placed our tiny hand
Securely into mother's.

The days of youth slipped quickly by,
Life's sun rose higher in the sky.
Full grown were we, yet every night
To love us still, was mother.

And when life's span of years shall end,
I know that God will gladly send,
To welcome home her child again,
That ever-faithful mother.
--George W. Wiseman
