FlySpace Physical Therapy, New York, NY Videos

Exciting news, my friends: Starting next week, I’ll be treating in my very own space on W 72nd street! I’ve spent the last three years running my private practice out of @gothamcityacupuncture working alongside some incredibly talented folks. I’ve felt so fortunate to work in such a supportive atmosphere while I figured out what I wanted my practice to look like and where I wanted to go. Given the work I’ve done in the past year and the great big things that are on the horizon, I decided the time was right to have my own space! Am I nervous? Yeah, absolutely! Scared? Completely! But I’m making the leap and I’m sure this next chapter will be fruitful! Wanna come visit?! You sure can! Though it’ll take me a bit to get things totally up and running, I’ll be treating in the space starting next week. Sign up for a session via the link in my bio! See you all on the Upper West Side!! #girlboss #nycphysicaltherapy #privatepractice #physicaltherapist #dancephysicaltherapist #dancephysicaltherapist #dancephysio #dancephysiotherapy #returntostage #returntodance #returntodanceclass #nycdancers #nycdancer #dancerehab #dancersdoitbetter #trustmeimaphysiotherapist #nyc #pt

#TechniqueTuesday post on port de bras! Remember last week when I showed you a video of the movements of the scapula? Here they are applied to port de bras!! As you move your arms a la second and up to fifth, your shoulder blades should simultaneously swing into upward rotation. To provide the arm bone (humerus) with a stable support. What I sometimes see (perhaps as a result of the cue ‘keep your neck long’ or ‘shoulders down and back!’) is that when the arms swing to second, the scapula depress and retract instead of swing upwards. This can cause quite a few issues in and around the shoulder. #shoulder #shoulderhealth #pt #personaltrainer #NYCpersonaltrainer #NYCtrainer #NYCphysicaltherapist #NYCphysicaltherapy #NYCPT #girlboss #dancersdoitbetter #dancetechnique #portdebras #movebetterfeelbetter #ptfordancers #physicaltherapyfordancers #dancerwellness #dancebetter #shouldersawayfromyourears #techniquetuesday

Your shoulder blades should move quite a bit when you move your arm. Your scapula provide a base for the head of your arm bone. If your scapulae don’t move appropriately as your arm moves, you could have decreased recruitment of some the muscles that support your shoulder girdle like your rotator cuff, traps, and serratus anterior or decrease in boney sport which can decrease the stability of your shoulder. Take a look at this brief video my husband and I put together to show you how the shoulder blade moves. Stay tuned for a post next week on how your shoulder blades should move in your port de bras. #shoulder #shoulderhealth #pt #personaltrainer #NYCpersonaltrainer #NYCtrainer #NYCphysicaltherapist #NYCphysicaltherapy #NYCPT #girlboss #dancersdoitbetter #dancetechnique #portdebras #movebetterfeelbetter #ptfordancers #physicaltherapyfordancers #dancerwellness #dancebetter #shouldersawayfromyourears #techniquetuesday

#WorkSmartWednesday !! This month, the #worksmartwednesday crew is focusing on exercises on the go! This week, my awesome work-study student @chaneynoa428 from @theaileyschoolofficial demonstrates some stability and turnout exercises while waiting for the elevator. I tell a lot of my patients to do these while waiting for the train. #physicaltherapy #movewell #worksmart #stabilitytraining #pt #nyc Check out some of the other contributors: @pilates.by.maria @jennifer.milner

To those of you who had a positive lat mobility test (see yesterday’s post) here’s a good dynamic stretch for you! Kneel in front of a bench and place your elbows on top of it. Find a neutral spine position and then tuck your pelvis under (posterior pelvic tilt). Slowly sit back onto your heels while leaving your elbows on the bench. Careful not to extend your spine! You should feel a bit of a stretch under your armpits or along the length of your lats. **Please note: if this stretch causes you any discomfort, it may not be right for you. Please consult a movement specialist. #lats #latlength #pt #physicaltherapy #movement #movementspecialist #mobility #mobilitywod #training #strengthandconditioning #crosstraining #dance #dancer #motionislotion #nyc #ny

Used my new-found #kinesiotape skills for treating edema today. It may have taken forever, but it was beautiful and I was pretty excited! Thanks @healingcompass for being an awesome teacher! #friyay #Pt #dancept #dance #tapeart @physioarts

You better train that développé! @mnwisedpt and I came up with this little setup to assist with the hip flexion component of a développé while working on turnout (among other things...) using Pilates equipment and turnout discs. Thankful for training time @physioarts !! #technique #dancer #dancelife #dancept #pt #physicaltherapy #training #dancetechnique #legsfordays
