Be Strong Like Superman

In a prior blog post I discussed the benefits of being “flexible like gumby”. In this follow up article I want to tell you about several benefits of participating in a regular strength training program.  In high school I was a student of the martial arts. I began taking karate lessons in high school but was still a skinny kid. I wanted a way to develop some strength to really have a “punch” behind my punch, so I started lifting weights.  At first I didn’t enjoy it (because I was sore all of the time) and it didn’t seem to...

“The DISNEYWORLD of physical therapy…”

When Tia came to MOSS Rehabilitation Center she felt like she was at the end of the line. She had “tried everything” without success.   Since we were the “last resort” for her she was very open and eager to give it a try. We worked with Tia to help improve her motion and reduce her pain.  More importantly she felt hopeful that physical therapy would help.  When she graduated not only had she accomplished her goals but she found something even more inspiring. A community of people who walked with her and encouraged her along the way.  “A healthy man...

Top 3 Reasons You Have Pain...

If you or someone you know has neck pain then this article is for you.  Not all neck pain is created equally. At different times of your life you may experience pain but it is likely caused by different conditions...and your spouse is not one of them!  As we age our bodies change and so does the resiliency of our tissues. The muscles lose strength and flexibility, the disc, ligaments and tendons become more brittle and susceptible to injury.  Since most of us are not as active compared to our younger years the body does what it does best ....

King Of The Knee

I want to introduce you to Mike. Mike was new to MOSS Rehabilitation Center after his knee replacement surgery.  We worked to help him get back to his goals of return to construction work, walking without a limp and improving his mobility and strength.  When he graduated he had accomplished his goals, had his questions answered and complimented the team that helped guide him through the transformation of what he could do pre and post therapy.  “A healthy man has thousands of wishes, a sick man has only one”. -Agnes Karll Schwest Krankenpfleger Mike’s story: Mike came to MOSS Rehabilitation...

Top Questions About Your Knee Pain:...

In a previous blog post I have pointed out that knee pain affects over 25% of adults, and many of these people wind up having surgery to try and fix the problem. We have also discussed options to avoid surgery if possible HERE.  Today I want to cover some of the most frequently asked questions I get regarding knee pain. I am pulling back the curtain and opening the vault (Seinfeld reference), I hope this helps.  Q: How long is it going to take?  A: Ultimately it depends on you and your goal or goals.  AT MOSS Rehabilitation Center we...

Be Flexible Like Gumby

Search the web and you will find thousands of “stretching” programs from various sources. But how do you choose the best one?  In this post I will discuss the best way to improve your flexibility without causing great injury or harm.  The first question to ask is what are you trying to improve or avoid?  Some want to simply move better and they know that what they are doing is not working, others want to avoid that dull achy pain they get from sitting all day and want to be proactive. That is a good thing.  Are you trying to...

The 2 Things You Must Do...

Let’s talk about your knee pain for a bit: this is one of the most common problems that we see in our office In fact, in our most recent blog  (What You Need To Know Before You Get That New Knee) we pointed out how frequent knee pain affects over 25% of adults, and many of these people wind up having surgery to try and fix the problem. I can personally attest to the headaches that come from having knees that hurt; years of sports gave me some injuries that have even affected me for years afterward.  The knee joint...

Painting A Picture of Health

I want to introduce you to Jody.  Jody is a local artist who is not a stranger to MOSS Rehabilitation Center. This is now her second time coming to us for her knee.  Earlier in the year we got her rolling along following an incident with a suitcase and escalator while she was traveling.  Most recently she tweaked her knee helping her aging parents. This increased the pain and stiffness in her knee.  With her goal of avoiding surgery and preferring the natural, drug free healing method at MOSS she came back in for a tune-up. “A healthy man has...

Fuel Your Day; Food As Medicine

Do you ever find yourself hungry, looking for food in the refrigerator or pantry but don’t have any luck? Or do you find something to eat but it just doesn’t sound satisfying? Food for a lot of us is therapeutic. Both in a mental sense but also in a physical sense.  Food is fuel...plain and simple, but what type of food you consume has a major effect on your health. In other words it is medicine! Now don’t get me wrong, I have said it in the past and I will say it again today, I love junk food. Brownies...

What You Need To Know Before...

One of the most common orthopedic surgeries these days is a Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), otherwise known as a “knee replacement.” With the prevalence of knee pain (25% of adults) in our country, along with the associated arthritis stemming from injuries or wear and tear as we age, it seems that this is a trend that will continue for the time being.  Over 600,000 total knee replacement surgeries are performed annually in the United States.  In fact, if you’re reading this, chances are you’re either considering a knee replacement or you have had one already.  Maybe you don’t know yet...
