You know that regular exercise is crucial to living a healthy lifestyle. The CDC recommends adults aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity a week–about 22 minutes a day, so you don’t have to toil away in the gym for hours. But hitting those numbers can still be a challenge, especially if you struggle with persistent pain or limited mobility.

Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a weekend warrior, knee pain can significantly impact your performance and overall well-being. 🏃‍♀️💃🤸‍♀️

A few common causes of knee pain, especially in athletes are:

Sports Injuries (e.g., ACL Tears):
🟡 High-impact sports come with an inherent risk of acute injuries, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are a common occurrence. Sudden stops, changes in direction, or direct blows to the knee can result in ligament injuries.

Improper Biomechanics:
🟡 Poor running form, improper landing techniques, or inadequate equipment can lead to biomechanical issues. Incorrect body mechanics during athletic movements can place excessive stress on the knee joint.

In this guide, we'll delve into common symptoms, causes of knee pain in athletes, and how physical therapy can be a game-changer in your journey to recovery and get you back to doing what you love: https://bit.ly/3x0jOgh

Using these phrases seems to be a prerequisite to becoming a PT. 😎

I think all of you will agree that you've heard these movement-based words of motivation at some point! 👀

Have any of YOUR PT’s used these phrases to and you in the clinic? Let us know which is your favorite! ⭐️ 📌

1️⃣ “Movement is medicine” 🏃‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️
2️⃣ “Strength builds confidence” 📶
3️⃣ “Use it or lose it” 🫵
4️⃣ “Motion in the lotion” 🤸‍♀️ 🧴

Do you ever notice yourself massaging a sore spot in your neck or find it difficult to turn your head sometimes? 🙋

Neck pain is a common concern that can range from a mild nuisance to a big problem. While neck pain can have several different causes, a contributing factor that often gets overlooked is weakness in the shoulders or upper back.

For more information, read our April newsletter today! https://elliottphysicaltherapy.com/newsletter/april-2024/

But if you want a sneak peek 👀, here are three exercises that can help strengthen your shoulders and upper back:

▶️ Shoulder Press: Standing up, with a dumbbell in each hand, make a “field goal” shape with your arms, then push your arms straight up.

▶️ Reverse Flies: Lean forward at your waist (straight back) with your elbows slightly bent and dumbbell in each hand. Slowly raise the weights until they are in line with your shoulders.

▶️ Modified Push-Ups: Push-ups are a great way to build upper back and shoulder strength, but if you find the standard push-up too difficult, never fear: the modified version is just as effective.

Are you among the many individuals grappling with the challenges of shoulder impingement?

This prevalent condition can affect approximately 16-26% of the adult population at any given time, causing pain, limited mobility, and disruptions in daily activities.

If you're experiencing any combination of the following, you may be suffering from shoulder impingement:
⚠️ pain while lifting your arm
⚠️ weakness in your shoulder
⚠️ limited range of motion

In honor of the Boston Marathon today, we thought we'd share this motivational quote that is true for most challenging things in life, including physical therapy. 🙌🏻 💪🏻

Just like running a marathon, every patient we work with is taking steps forward to achieve some personal goal. It can be painful, it can be frustrating, but every step forward is one step closer to reaching that goal. Stick with it, stay focused and let us help you succeed! 🏃🏻‍♀️

Congratulations to all of those running the marathon today, you have worked so hard and you should be incredibly proud of your achievement!

It's understandable to wonder if you will be treated for all of your symptoms when you come in for PT, or if they will have to focus on one thing at a time.

If you are experiencing symptoms that occur in multiple areas like neck and back pain or hip and knee pain - do not worry!

At Elliott Physical Therapy, we don't treat the symptoms 🙅🏻‍♀️ , we treat the person 🙋🏻‍♀️. We provide a holistic approach that gets to the root cause of your pain, injuries or mobility issues.

Your plan of care will encompass and that will treat that root cause and improve symptoms in multiple areas.

There are specific occasions, such as when a patient comes in for post-surgical treatment, where exercises may be targeted on improving one area before another can be addressed. But please always share any and all symptoms with your physical therapist because more often than not (as our PTs have stated below) these symptoms are connected. 🔗

Thank you to Caity & Alley for answering this question for our patients! 👏🏻
