3 Dimensional Physical Therapy

🏈 NFL Football is officially back, and so is 𝟑𝐃𝐏𝐓'𝐬 𝐍𝐅𝐋 𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰! 🚑

First on the agenda: Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love's MCL sprain, sustained during the Eagles vs. Packers matchup in São Paulo, Brazil!

After a strong performance at the end of last season, the Packers had high expectations of their newer QB, Jordan Love. Unfortunately, Week 1 did not go the way of Green Bay. The team lost to the Eagles 29-35 (E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!) and with just 6 seconds left of the game, Love got wrapped up in a tackle from Eagles defenders Jalen Carter and Josh Sweat and went down awkwardly, with what was later reported as a sprained Medial Collateral Ligament, or MCL.

The MCL, a key knee stabilizer, can be stretched or torn if the knee bends inward. This injury affects stability and puts extra stress on the meniscus, making rest and full healing crucial. He’s expected to be out for 3-6 weeks and he'll definitely be spending lots of time with his PT team during the time off

✨ Here’s why✨

✅ Restoring Strength and Mobility: Exercises recommended by your physical therapist help restore strength and mobility to your hip. These exercises enhance circulation, prevent blood clots, and improve hip movement.

✅ Preventing Complications: Physical therapy educates you on correct movement techniques and positioning to prevent dislocation of the new hip joint.

✅ Building Muscle Strength: Participating in physical therapy helps improve blood flow and build muscle strength. It’s a cornerstone of successful recovery, facilitating pain management and safe movement.

Here are a few examples of exercises in the early stages of rehab following a hip replacement to regain range of motion and strength in the hip! ✨
