“Attention: Yard Work….Hazardous To Your Shoulder...

Today we highlight a local Springtown shoulder pain client who thinks she injured her shoulder while working in the yard but wasn’t sure (we hear this all the time).  What she did know was that she had a tight shoulder with aching muscles and she wanted relief so she could play with her grandson and work in the yard again.  “A healthy man has thousands of wishes, a sick man has only one”. -Agnes Karll Schwest Krankenpfleger Denise’s story.  Lora, who goes by “DE-NICE” around here, wasn’t sure if she injured her shoulder by lifting her grandson or working in...

What is Stress and How Can...

At one of our free community education workshops I got this idea from talking to the participants. The original question is about therapy and exercises but quickly turned into the topic of stress and how to relieve it.   As we were wrapping up I was answering some of the group's questions and got an interesting one. (Actually I hear this frequently).  It was, why come in for therapy when I can just find some exercise on the internet?  I thought that was a great question. Here is part of what I told her regarding exercises.  First you can get a...

A Balanced Recovery

Today we highlight a client who had a desire to improve his balance and strength to prevent future falls and maintain his independence.  He understands the importance of being proactive in his health.   “A healthy man has thousands of wishes, a sick man has only one”. -Agnes Karll Schwest Krankenpfleger Charles’s story.  Charles started to get that sinking feeling that if he didn’t do something about his progressive weakness and balance issues he was going to end up on the floor with possibly a life threatening injury.  This is when Charles turned to MOSS Rehabilitation Center to help him remain...

Do This To Improve Your Therapy...

Looking to get the most out of your therapy? Then look no further, as these 3 tips can help speed your recovery.  When most healthcare providers talk about recovery from an injury or surgery this vital component is often left out.  However, most athletes know (myself included) that missing this vital component is actually when the true recovery process takes place. What am I talking about?  SLEEP All of the grueling hours on the bike, weight room or practice field do wonders to tear the body down and damage the muscles, joints and connective tissue but sleep is when the...

Walking The Tightrope

It looks easier than it is! Have you ever gone down a rabbit hole on the internet? You start off looking at one video and the next thing you know an hour has gone by! This happened to me recently.  For some reason I looked up slackline videos on YouTube.   If you don’t know what a slackline is, it's basically a 2” wide webbing material stretched out between two poles or trees a few feet off the ground.  I thought it would be a good idea to get one.  I thought it would be fun and a great way to...

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 ....

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...

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...
