BenchMark Physical Therapy

The holidays can be a busy and overwhelming time, but with a little preparation and mindfulness, you can keep stress at bay. Here are a few ways to navigate the season with ease:

✅ Get Organized Early
Plan ahead for travel, events, and budgets to avoid last-minute chaos.
✅ Slow Down
Take a deep breath and tackle your to-do list one step at a time—rushing only adds to stress.
✅ Say "No" When Needed
Prioritize your well-being by setting boundaries. It's okay to decline extra commitments.
✅ Avoid Comparisons
Focus on what matters most—spending quality time with loved ones, not creating a "perfect" holiday.
✅ Take Care of Yourself
Stay active, eat well, and get enough sleep. Address any aches and pains before they slow you down - physical therapy can help!

How do you stay stress-free during the holidays? Share your tips below!

Why is it important to get screened by a TPI professional?

To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health, and injury history.

The TPI movement screen is a simple test to quickly evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. The results of that assessment are used to determine how technical elements of the player’s swing could be related to what their body can or cannot do. Once this screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for that golfer. The plan may include fitness training, physical therapy and treatment, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics, nutrition, mental strategy or all of the above.

Call our Chapman clinic at 865-577-7779 to set up your TPI assessment with Justin!

A great combination of hard work and our guidance can help you get better quicker and back to the activities you love!

Listening to our patients is the key to getting them where they want and need to be.

Continuing our education on Lymphedema, today we talk about the reasonings of why you should seek physical therapy if you have Lymphedema.

🏋️‍♂️ Physical therapy focuses on improving the overall function and movement of the body, most the time it isn't just the area that is causing you pain.

John has been a patient with us for a good bit. He always worked hard, very upbeat, and was willing to try whatever we threw at him. His presence in the clinic will be missed, but we are happy he has reached his goals!

Your body has two fluid drainage systems: The venous system and the lymphatic system. Lymphedema occurs when the lymph system is not able to keep up with the demands being placed on it.

The two most common reasons that someone will develop lymphedema are cancer with radiation treatments and venous insufficiency. It can occur anywhere in the body-- arms, legs, head/neck, and trunk.

While there is no cure for lymphedema, physical therapy can provide effective treatment. We look forward to helping you decrease the size of your lymphedema and learning to manage your lymphedema independently.
