“Well…it’s another day for another day!”

This is a little late but what is the saying? Better late than never and if you know my next character you will know that being late is part of who he is.  We often joke that he will be late to his own funeral.  This is the first time I get to present a physical therapist assistant, Joseph Marcum.    Joseph plays a key role in the delivery of your physical therapy care. As an assistant he works to carry out the plan you and your Physical Therapist have developed and to use his knowledge and insights to help you...

A Little Known Option For Chronic...

For those that know me you know how much I love to ride my bike.  I have raced, ridden for fun and even rode from Oceanside California to Durango Colorado in 2 days and 8 hours as part of a 4 man relay team in 2018.  All of that time spent on the bike has its pros and cons.   Let me explain. Getting in a good amount of cardiovascular work is definitely healthier than not doing anything although I may take it to an extreme.  Getting fresh air and being able to clear my head helps me stay focused and...

Are You A Long Hauler?

Are you struggling to regain your strength and endurance after covid?  If yes, then you are not alone.  Here is a conversation I had with a former patient just the other day.  He stopped by to ask if there was anything he could do to regain his strength after being sick with one of the many variant forms of Covid circulating around.  He described himself as “weak as a kitten”, and had to ask his wife for help to do simple things around the house (I think he was a little embarrassed about this), and he has to take frequent...

Team Work Makes The Dream Work

As we begin 2022 I thought it would be appropriate to shine the light on some of my amazing team and give you a little insight into what they do and some of their personality traits.  Today I highlight a true rock star for Moss Rehabilitation Center, Tyla Haley.  The crazy thing is that most of you don’t even know that she exists. Pre-covid she sat in the “hole”, the small office off of the main reception area checking insurance benefits, filing claims and sending you those wonderful statements.  Tyla has put up with me and my antics for 5...

How I Learned To Breathe All...

In a prior post, I discussed how I am seeing more and more patients come in with post-Covid symptoms of general de-conditioning, difficulty breathing, fatigue, brain fog and overall poor energy levels.  In addition to the tips and FREE REPORT I provided to help build your immune system I want to give you another way to help you recover.  I have also broken down some of the breathing  basics here as well as how HRV can affect your health. Most of the people I talk with have their backs against the wall. They know they don’t feel good, think they...

A New Way Lose Weight

I have to confess something to you!!! I have mentioned this in the past and I will mention it again today.  When I was growing up most if not all of our gatherings centered around food.  Obviously Thanksgiving was a big one. Going to Mema and Papa’s house for smoked turkey, cornbread dressing and of course a ton of desserts.  Christmas eve at my parents house centered around mexican food. Being from San Antonio what else would you expect? I remember going to the Delicious Tamale Factory ( yes that is the name of the business) and getting dozens of...

Struggling to recover from covid?

Getting sick is no fun, neither was being on lockdown or home isolation. It is hard to believe we are almost 2 years into this and it looks like there is no end in sight with new variants popping up all of the time.  So what can YOU do to help protect yourself or maximize your recovery should you get sick.  Locking yourself in your bunker and never seeing the light of day again or having live interactions with your friends or family is one option. I have actually heard about people making this extreme decision to avoid getting sick. ...

What The Heck Is A PT...

I get asked questions all of the time including what exactly is a Physical Therapist and what does a PT do?  In today's blog  I will cover some of the most common questions we get and hopefully help you make better decisions about your healthcare.   One of the most common and pressing questions we receive is: Is physical therapy for me?  While that is a very general question the answer needs to be more specific.  Any type of healthcare decision needs to be made with your specific condition in mind, this is why the experts at MOSS REhabilitation Center always...

10 Best supplements to help with...

Everyone seems to be looking for the magic bullet!!! A pill, exercise or some device they can put on themselves at night and magically wake up the next day feeling better.  I am afraid I am the bearer of bad news. That ain’t gonna happen.  But what I will tell you is that thoughtful, consistent choices over time can add up to a huge change.  In Darren Hardy’s book “The Compound Effect” he states that anything in life we do that is meaningful will take time to see a dramatic change.  In other words there is no “overnight success”.   Some...

Local Springtown Health Expert Discusses First...

Low back pain affects roughly 80% of all adults at some point in their lifetime. The prevalence for low back pain is greater in women and as we age.  The problem is there is not a consensus on how to effectively treat lower back pain. There are many different schools of thought and such a large variation within patient (men/ women, young/old) populations that trying to put a blanket over the problem is impossible.  It is estimated that back pain is the most common type of pain and it affects nearly 2 out of 5 US adults within the last...
