Drew Moesel Paragliding
"I haven’t flown since my injury, so we went to the training hill and had an off-site physical therapy appointment. In my session I was able to launch and land my paraglider 5 different times. We focused on the importance of engaging my core upon landing and practiced it multiple times in order to train my muscle memory. I would never have been able to do this without the last 9 months of therapy working up to where I am today. I feel so much more comfortable getting back into flying having had this off-site appointment. I will continue my in clinic sessions and hope to be flying off Mount Sentinel and Mount Jumbo again soon." - Drew Moesel
Ask for Alpine post knee surgery.
Post knee surgery it is critical to get control of the knee at the end range of extension (straightening) for optimal support of the knee, tracking of the kneecap, and stability in walking.
At Alpine PT our Physical Therapists take the time to help you find the best method to feel, see and regain that early quad control. It's not always easy; swelling and pain can inhibit your ability to get the quad functioning again. Here is an example of one of our patients using a ball to help her find her full knee extension and quad function.
The sooner you can regain quad control the more confident your return to function can be after a knee surgery.
If an orthopedic surgery is your start line, Alpine PT will take you beyond your finish line! Alpine PT is Missoula's number one choice in post operative rehab and care.
