What have our dance medicine PTs been up to lately?
This weekend, Director of Dance Medicine, Dr. Meagan provided performance coverage for NEBT as they made their NYC debut in their performance of “Directors Choice”! Meagan is pictured here at the amazing Alvin Ailey Studios on Sunday!

What is performance coverage and why do we think it’s so important?
Having a physical therapist on site during a performance not only allows for immediate medical attention in the case of an unexpected injury, but also includes injury prevention methods, warm ups, and taping prior to and after the show!  

Are you interested in learning more about the benefits of performance coverage? There’s still time to contact Dr. Meagan at [email protected] to book your slot for the Spring season!

The greatest gift you can give our Magna staff is a handwritten thank you note🥰, it is our pleasure👏🏼. The patients’ goals are our goals! Retuned to function, who’s next? ☺️

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and healthy New Year from your Magna PT family!🎄🎅🏼

‘Tis the season for performances from our affiliate studios! This weekend, Director of Dance Medicine, Dr. Meagan provided performance coverage for NEBT and the School of NEBT in their performance of “The Fantastic Toyshop”. She’s pictured here with the entire cast after the show on Sunday!

Getting in the Christmas spirit over in our Avon clinic! Are you finished with your shopping yet or haven’t started yet? You can stop by to see Santa and put in your requests anytime 😉 🎅🏼

Happy Thanksgiving from your favorite physical therapists and staff at Magna Physical Therapy!

Things we tell ourselves in order to avoid having an injury looked at🙉➡️
“It’s fine, it only hurts when I ____”
“It’ll go away”
“If I avoid doing ____then I can get by just fine”
“I’m just being a baby”
“It’s normal to have aches and pains as I get older there’s nothing I can do about it”

The answer to all of the above is: Definitely go have these things looked at!😂 Most people who experience physical therapy for the first time say the same thing after 2 visits: “I can’t believe I waited this long to come in”

Have you done this before? Be honest 😉 and tell us in the comments.

One of the best parts of doing our job is the appreciation we receive from our patients. This one could not be more accurate and we hung it out on display in our Canton clinic to let everyone in on our PT code rules 😊😉. Have you experienced any of the above with your PT while in treatment?

Part-Time position ( 20-25 hours per week) for an orthopedic/sports medicine physical therapist at our outpatient Canton, CT clinic.

A physical therapist aide is a non-licensed professional in the PT field whose primary role is to assist the physical therapist, PTA, or other licensed professional in executing treatment plans for clients. Additionally, an aide is responsible for maintaining housekeeping including daily laundry and sanitizing of
equipment, scheduling patients, answering phones, etc.

* Must be willing to work between 10 to 25 hours per week, morning and evening, and be relatively flexible with scheduling

* Experience in a sports, athletics, or a health related field is preferred

It’s a Wizard 🧙 of Oz theme in Avon today 🪄🔮 … Happy Halloween, hope it’s a spooky one!

Our therapist, Dr. Meagan Robichaud, spent her weekend down in New Haven at the Shubert Theatre providing backstage PT coverage for for the performers of the Broadway Tour “My Fair Lady.”

Our dance medicine team is certified to provide backstage coverage for performers all across CT by working for Neurotour!
What does that mean? Backstage PT encompasses preventative treatments, injury consultations, exercise program counseling and much more in a faster pace than our outpatient clinic sessions. We travel to many theaters in CT including the Oakdale, the Bushnell, the Waterbury Palace, the Warner, the Fox Theater, and of course the Shubert!
Magna PT is thrilled to have Broadway back and thriving! Be sure to ask our dance medicine therapists about their experience the next time you see them. Where do you think we’ll be headed next?💃🏻

Magna Physical Therapy is at the Shoprite 3rd Annual B-Well Festival today from 9-1!

Our dance medicine program was featured in this edition of the Today Magazine! It’s linked in our stories.

Happy birthday to Brian Magna! Drop him a comment and like this post to make his day even brighter 🥳 and check out our stories today to learn a fun fact about him that we turned into a trivia question 🎈

Do I really have to do these home exercises?
😁You do! Here’s why➡️

Depending on their injury, people go to PT only two or three times a week. What the patient does the rest of the week is really important in their recovery! Basically, if they want to get better at a faster rate, their home exercises can make all the difference. The stretching and strengthening exercises are really something that has to be done almost daily. They are not going to get the progress or improvement desired by just relying on going to therapy visits, so YES🙌🏼 we encourage them to do exercises at home. And, by the way, we can always tell if someone is being good about doing his or her home exercise program or not.😉 Do you do your home exercises?!

Our Magna therapists Ryan + Jen spent the morning at at to encourage and support the riders! Always a pleasure to be here for the Saturday morning crowd, and today they left with some of our favorite stretches for the lower body and lower back to recover after that workout. 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🚴‍♂️

PHYSICAL THERAPY RANKS AMONG THE TOP 10 “HAPPIEST JOBS”!
According to PTs are one of the happiest in their profession😊. Based on the median salary, job flexibility, and projected job growth (39% between 2010 and 2020), becoming a physical therapist is an appealing option. But it’s not a career one should enter into lightly: you’ll need a bachelor’s degree followed by a doctorate that takes around 3 years to earn. Have you been to Magna to see your happy therapist lately?😁

Is osteoarthritis limiting your mobility? The breakdown of cartilage can happen in any joint and is more common with increased age. Physical therapy can help you slow down the progression of osteoarthritis by prescribing exercises that help you manage your pain, swelling and stiffness. Stretching, strength training and cardio are all recommended activities to improve motion in your joints, and the Magna PTs are the perfect experts to get you moving with less pain 😉
