Physical Therapy Checkup before the End of the Year.

Millions of people on New Year’s Eve make resolutions to improve their lifestyle by making healthier choices. Why wait until 2016 to start taking better care of yourself? By the end of the year, it is advised to meet with a physical therapist in order to determine your health stats instead of continuously putting it off.

The experience, education, and expertise of a physical therapist allows for a broad enough health examination in order to document the status of a person’s health and to continue to document it over the course of time.

Physical therapy check-ups are different from primary care physician check-ups as they cater to your musculoskeletal system and your constantly changing body. As the new year approaches, you may become more focused on working out and weight training, and it will benefit you to make sure the muscles and joints in your body are in good shape in order to prevent injury. Be proactive and go in for a checkup before any injuries occur rather than waiting until serious damage occurs.
It is highly advised for those who are changing sports or have finished rehab after a surgery to have a physical therapy checkup in order to ensure everything is in working order before taking any risks and continuing normal daily activities.

It is commendable that people will try to improve themselves and their health each year but there is no need to wait for a checkup. Physical therapy checkups should be done annually and now is the time to if you haven’t made an appointment yet. Be sure to make an appointment at your nearest physical therapy office today and be fully prepared for your resolutions!

National Influenza Vaccination Month

The importance of vaccination is increasing, especially while we approach the flu season.  This year, the week of December 6th-12th is National Influenza Vaccination Week, meaning there is no better time to get vaccinated than now!

The National Influenza Vaccination Week was first created in order to signify the importance of being vaccinated before, after, and all throughout the holiday season. People with a higher risk of getting the flu and developing complications from it include children, people with conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart or lung disease, pregnant women, and citizens over the age of 65. Those who inevitably catch the flu virus should be advised to stay away from other people, especially ones who are at higher risk of complications.

It is necessary to remember to get vaccinated each year in order to protect against new strains of the virus as they are always changing. Luckily, there are multiple kinds of vaccinations in order to protect against the various types of flu viruses. The traditional flu vaccine was made in order to protect against three different kinds of flu viruses as well as another vaccine made to protect people from four different flu viruses.

Even though vaccination is essential and the best way to prevent the flu, it is also important to remember to stay healthy through other means as well. Though most people will diet and try to stay fit during the winter, it is recommended that keeping a regular, healthy diet aids in preventing sickness during the flu season. The virus also thrives in conditions with dry air, which means a humidifier can help fight the spread of the flu. As well as being vaccinated, keeping your surroundings clean, washing your hands frequently while also avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, eating well, getting enough exercise, and getting enough sleep can help ensure a healthy winter season without the flu.

American Diabetes Month

The month of November has brought us many reasons to be thankful. Whether it be happiness, successes, family, and even our health, we make an effort this month to give thanks. November is American Diabetes Month. Diabetes is one of the most common diseases affecting about 30 million people in the United States alone. Whether it is diagnosed or undiagnosed, one in ten americans will face this disease. In the United States, diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death.

What exactly is diabetes? Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which the body is unable to produce enough insulin because of heightened levels of sugar in the blood. There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is when the body is unable to produce insulin and is an ongoing health problem in which the individual must take insulin injections each day for the rest of his or her life. People with Type 1 diabetes also need to monitor and regulate their blood sugar level.

Type 2 diabetes is when the body is unable to create insulin to properly function or the cells of the body do not react to insulin at all. Type 2 diabetes is typically a progressive disease, which is why it is important to maintain a healthy weight and stay physically active.

It is common for diabetics to push their limits further when staying physically active. A physical therapist can be of great help as they are experts in exercise testing and have had much success treating patients with Type 2 diabetes. Through the process of safe, progressive therapeutic exercise programs custom to your health needs, physical therapists can monitor, simplify, and help you adjust to lifestyle changes.

If you decide to seek physical therapy treatments, you will receive a physical fitness evaluation, including muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and posture assessment. Your physical therapist will take this information and develop a personalized exercise program designed to help you with your diabetes.

Clean up the yard without Hurting Yourself

It’s that time of year again when mother nature starts to provide you with more tasks that need to be completed. Even though the leaves that fall on your property are beautiful, you will do everything possible to maintain your property. Get out your leaf blowers, mowers, rakes and hop to it, but be sure not to injure yourself while in the process. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 42 million people seek emergency room treatment for yard work-related injuries each year. Fall clean up tasks such as raking and cleaning gutters can cause muscle strain because of repetitive movements. The following are some recommendations by physical therapists to prevent being a statistic.

First, warm up and take breaks. While you are obviously not going to the gym, you will be lifting, bending, and on the go for a few hours. Warming up allows blood to flow to your muscles and raises your body temperature and stretching helps prevent your shoulders, neck, and back from being strained.

Always use equipment that suits you. For example, use rakes that are comfortable for your height and strength. If you are using machinery that may be to heavy, consider a manual method or call a landscaper. It is also advised you wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from dirt particles as well as earmuffs to protect your hearing from loud machinery.

Be sure to keep appropriate posture and movements. Working on the yard requires arm strength and switching arms often can keep the muscle use on both sides equal. Lastly, remember not to over work yourself. Doing too much too soon can do more harm than good.  Even though crossing this hassle off your to do list will make you rather happy, will you be enjoying the next few days in bed from the pain? Doubt it. Being that you will be doing this throughout the next few weeks, it is better to take precaution and watch out for the health hazards that may arise.

National Physical Therapy Month

Forms of physical therapy date back to ancient times where physicians encouraged using massage, manual therapy and hydrotherapy to treat different ailments. Physical therapy has had such a big impact on health and wellness that we are recognizing its amazing benefits on the body throughout the month of October. Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants play a huge role in decreasing the pain of their patients by restoring motion and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Immobility due to pain or certain neurological issues can cause problems with your balance, strength, and range of motion, significantly impacting quality of life. Physical therapy is a great way to manage or eliminate pain without medication or surgical procedures. Mobility is the key to aging gracefully by remaining active and independent.

Your physical therapist will examine your condition and can develop a treatment plan to restore function and reduce pain. The goal of physical therapy is to work toward function. A physical therapist will use their education and experience to develop an individualized treatment plan for each individual patient.

Physical therapy helps a variety of patients anywhere from children to the elderly. They help elderly patients to live independently, athletes to return to their field after an injury, and anyone in between suffering from pain from all types of ailments.

There are many ways a physical therapist helps their patients accomplish their goals. Your physical therapist may use ice or heat to reduce pain and swelling as well as incorporating manual therapy, aquatic therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, exercise, stretching, weightlifting and walking.

We will continue to acknowledge and spread the awareness of how beneficial physical therapy is to patients and how working with a physical therapist can help you to live a healthier lifestyle throughout the month of October. It is a time to thank these professionals for choosing a demanding yet rewarding profession!

Reputation Management—What Does the Public Think of You?

Your company’s public image is crucial to its survival. With the high availability of information on the internet, businesses must be vigilant to remain competitive. How your company is portrayed and the actions you and your team take both digitally and through traditional avenues all add up to your company image.

The first area to examine is your first impression. Whether it is your office or your website, both must be professional, comfortable, and appropriate. For example, if you specialize in pediatric care, you will want the waiting area and website to be representative of this. The decor should be bright and kid friendly and your website should be cheerful and warm. All of these factors give your clients an impression which will ultimately affect their personal recommendations and digital reviews.

The second area you must consider is how your information is disseminated. Services offered, insurances accepted, and pricing and payment policies should all be clearly accessible and stated. Miscommunications often lead to disgruntled customers. It is easier to be transparent from the beginning than to face the wrath of a scorned customer who may discontinue going to your establishment, advise others via negative reviews online, and tell their family, friends and coworkers the poor experience they had.

The third area you must consider is your issue resolution system. If a client is upset about a situation or miscommunication, responding quickly and effectively is key to salvaging the relationship. Customers want their grievances to be heard and fixed and most customers will not take further actions in destroying a company’s reputation if an appropriate response is taken. You will want to monitor your digital presence for any reviews or comments and take all customer complaints seriously.

All of these factors come down to good customer relations. Creating a friendly, effective, and transparent environment for customers will lead to increased referrals and positive reviews which will drive business further. Digital and print marketing can be effective but limiting but without happy customers.

Why You Need to Have a Good Home Exercise Program for Your Patients

There are many components to the healing process from a traumatic injury. Whether surgery is necessary or not, physical therapy is often the solution to long term success. Although the work completed in each session plays a huge role, what a patient does at home is equally as important.

Some patients are not used to maneuvering the correct way. A common mistake is trying to default to the way they would move prior to incurring their injury, making a bad situation even worse. Educating your patients on the correct movements will prevent both setbacks and additional pain.

Providing your patient with at-home exercises is crucial. When a patient begins to feel pain, providing exercises assuaging this pain will help reduce body tension and increase their comfort. If you instruct your patient on the correct movements for their needs, they will be less apt to seek out exercises from non-credible sources. By giving your patient some at-home exercises, they can also continue the physical therapy process in between sessions as well as help them build exercise habits promoting a lifetime of good health.

Remember, an important part of your patient’s longevity and happiness is tied to the success of their physical therapy. By providing them personal control over their journey with at-home exercises, you are increasing the likelihood of compliance as they begin to see results. The personalized attention from their in-person sessions in conjunction to a personalized exercise regimen will provide optimal results.

When You Should Visit a Physical Therapist

Visiting a physical therapist is often an important step on the road to recovery and understanding when it’s appropriate to visit one is very simple.

Anytime you experience prolonged discomfort doing everyday activities, or your range of motion is suddenly or gradually being hindered, it may be a good time to visit a physical therapist. Pain that is recurring or constant could be a sign that it is time for professional help. Depending on your insurance and the state you live in, a physical therapist can be contacted directly or you can obtain a prescription from your medical doctor. Either the physical therapist or medical doctor can advise you on further treatment.

Often times your medical doctor will recommend a physical therapist when you are experiencing pain or discomfort. The physical therapist will be able to help minimize pain by going through exercises with you. A physical therapist can diagnose other issues you may have and help prevent those from getting worse. The physical therapist will be able to pinpoint the root cause of an issue based on your work and leisure activities and can also teach you how to avoid reinjury or injury escalation.

A physical therapist can help you when you have traumatic injuries as well as help you with conditions that develop with age such as arthritis. While some issues are unavoidable, a physical therapist can help ease the pain by providing exercises easing the tension in the area of discomfort and helping build you a personalized regimen for pain relief at home.

Often, the treatment and preventative work a physical therapist provides can help you avoid painful surgery as well as huge medical bills down the road. Physical therapists are here to help us; why let pain or discomfort rule your life?

Facts and Myths About PT

If you have never been to physical therapy before, you may be a little bit nervous about your first time. You also have probably heard some things that are true and some things that are not about physical therapy. To calm your nerves, here are some of the most common myths and unknown facts about physical therapy.

Myth #1: A referral is required before being evaluated by a physical therapist

This is not true. You do not need a referral to be evaluated for physical therapy. However, you will need a referral if you are going to receive physical therapy treatments after you have been evaluated.

Myth #2: Physical therapy is only used if you are already suffering

Physical therapy is not just used for rehabilitation and pain relief. Physical therapy is often at times used to prevent problems from occurring in the future by strengthening your muscles beforehand.

Myth #3: Insurance does not cover physical therapy

Most insurance plans cover at least one type of physical therapy. It is also typically cheaper to receive physical therapy than it is to receive scans and surgery.

Myth #4: Surgery is a better option than physical therapy

This is not true. In most cases, physical therapy can be just as effective, if not better than, surgery. Also, after most surgeries physical therapy is often required anyway.

Fact #1: Physical therapy can treat things other than physical injuries

Physical therapists can treat conditions such as chronic migraines, TMJ, vertigo, multiple sclerosis, and parkinson’s disease.

Fact #2: Physical therapy massages are not what you expect

Massages from a physical therapist are not usually relaxing like massages at spas. Often times, they are slightly painful because they are focusing on a specific muscle or joint that is inflamed.

Fact #3: Exercises at home are important

Your at-home exercises are just as important as the exercises done at physical therapy. At-home exercises can help to speed up your recovery much faster and also prevent you from suffering from the same injury over and over.

How PT can help stability and mobility of daily activities

Many injuries are not only painful, but incapacitating. They can leave you with a limited range of motion or weakness in the joints, leading to an inability to perform everyday activities. A limit in what you can perform can lead to an decrease in productivity, as well as an increase in obesity and injury. Contact a physical therapist today if you are worried about losing your ability to perform everyday life activities.

If you are moving less, and not getting out and going shopping or to the gym, then there are less muscles being exercised and used. This not only leads to those muscles to deteriorate, but also can cause obesity. Obesity is a leading cause of death in adults in the United States, and can be easily prevented with an exercise routine planned out by physical therapists. Not only does sitting around cause obesity by a lack of exercise, it is also proven to directly increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Moving around helps maintain your body’s sense of balance, which also is essential to daily life, as falls due to lack of balance can make your performance even worse.

A physical therapist will not only help you regain some range of motion through in-office exercises and stretching, they will help you plan a routine to suit your needs. A plan made by a physical therapist can slowly rehabilitate you by building up to a goal and restoring motion while simultaneously eliminating pain. Physical Therapist Finder can help you locate a therapist local to you today to ensure that you receive the most convenient care possible.

Demand Growing For Physical Therapists

Demand for Growing Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy is a growing field, and for good reason.  The science of it employs a dynamic health care program that can be suited to individual needs for pain relief or the maintenance or restoration of strength, balance, and range of motion.  Physical Therapists act as consultants for their patients. They start by looking at patients medical history before examining them personally. This service allows for patients to participate in their own recovery to come up with an exercise program that is well suited to their lifestyle.  So why not give physical therapy a try if it can provide you with a balance of social and physical support?

One of the primary reasons that Physical Therapy is expanding so quickly can be credited to the realization that consistent movement assists in maintaining a healthy body, and that includes an individual’s balance.  You’ve heard it before and you will continue to hear it as the physical therapy industry grows, that sitting is one of the most unhealthy things that you do in your day to day life. Sitting for more than five hours a day on average has been linked to back pain, obesity and even cardiovascular disease and diabetes and balance issues all of which can be treated with physical therapy.

Contrary to popular belief Physical Therapy is now used as more than postoperative care and rehabilitation for trauma patients, rather it is used more extensively as preventative treatment as well.  Not only is physical therapy an alternative to pharmaceuticals and surgery, it is risk free and can be easily modified to fit an individual. Commonly treated conditions in the field today are arthritis, chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain, foot and ankle pain, frozen shoulder and other shoulder pain, knee pain, lower back pain, neck pain, and even osteoporosis.  In addition to all of this there is an expanding market for the physical therapy of special populations such as children with developmental issues, pregnant women, and people with obesity.  Physical therapy is no longer seen as the exclusive sector that it once was, it is now a business that can be modified to suit the needs of almost anyone to make life just a little bit easier.

Why PT is Important

Physical therapy is a very common and well-known term, but often overlooked out of fear of being too expensive, or even out of a lack of knowledge of what physical therapy can do for you. Physical therapy is a great method of treating injuries, and a way of finding rehabilitation through a non-invasive session with a licensed therapist. You may not think you are available to receive physical therapy, but if you have been injured, or are going through a condition that limits range of motion or causes pain, odds are is physical therapy can benefit you.

Another concern of many people is the cost. Most physical therapy practices accept major insurance plans, keeping the cost to you relatively low, with just a co-pay to worry about. Paying out of pocket is an expensive option, but fortunately, a prescription is usually all you need to have the care covered. If you aren’t aware of a physical therapy practice near you, log on to Physical Therapist Finder. PT Finder will locate therapists local to you. If they don’t accept your insurance, or offer a treatment plan that suits you, Physical Therapist Finder will provide you with other choices in the area.

A New Era: Social Media’s Role for Physical Therapy Practices

Social Media has taken our world by storm over the last decade and has brung in millions of followers. Even crazier, social media has now helped businesses build reputations and better relationships with their clients and consumers. This new way of marketing has slowly become the normal way to get the attention of the public. Additionally, social media is growing extremely fast and has shown no signs of slowing down.

Medical practices have been very assertive in getting their name out to the public via social media. Social media is extremely helpful to physical therapy practices. More and more people spend so much time on the internet. For example, more and more adult, such as parents and even grandparents are creating twitter and facebook accounts. Advertising on social network sites is the new way to advertise. In years past, people would find ads in newspapers and magazines, but this would not work in 2015.

Think about how many individuals spend time on social media throughout each day. Now, with the invention of iphones and androids, which allow users to surf the internet via phone, physical therapy practices can be found in seconds. For example, if a mother wants to sign his or her child up for physical therapy, and just so happens to be on facebook, she may see that a friend just recently liked a practice’s page. Furthermore, physical therapy practices can promote their practice on social media using pictures on instagram, tweets on twitter and even a “call action” button, which will directly link the user to the practice’s main website. It is in good interest to hire a PR company to help maintain the social media pages. Pictures, website category links, and physical therapy related articles are all just a few ways that one can promote their practice through social media. The more followers a practice has, the better a practice appears to the public. Likewise, it reminds clients to book an appointment. If one is browsing the net, they may have forgotten that they needed to call a physical therapist, until they saw the daily tweet on their newsfeed.

Overall, social media is the best way to reach out to your potential clients. Social media allows the viewers to get an idea of what a practice is about. Current or past clients can post ratings and useful comments about their experience at the practice. Be sure to always remember how reliable our new technology can be. To sum it up, social media is growing rapidly, and the best thing you can do is to use it to benefit you and your practice.

PT Websites

Physical therapists often have a difficult time getting their clients to walk through the door. There is plenty of demand for physical therapist services and plenty of physical therapists to provide, but something is missing. What these doctors don’t learn in school is how to market themselves. They can help fix your whiplash or massage your knee to help you function again, but they are not taught how to get patients to come for a visit. So what do you do? The first thing a patient will most likely see is your website. It is imperative to make a good first impression be sure your site is clear and concise. You want your potential patient to know the services you offer and other important information like locations and accepted insurance plans. Over time you can add patient testimonials to your private practice site to increase credibility and reputation. It’s important to be creative and think outside the office. Local events can be a great opportunity for you to broadcast yourself to the community. Never underestimate an opportunity to get your name out there with a business card. A business card is the one physical thing a potential patient can walk away with after meeting you. Hand them out whenever you can and keep some with you at all times. The little details are very important. Stick to your scheduled times to make the patient feel like their time is valuable, and they will respect yours. Provide clear instructions for at home exercises and references they can use to help them in case they forget. Always provide resources and contact information. In the beginning acquiring patients will take some effort but once you have established a good reputation, your practice can easily take off. The possibilities are endless! Is your practice in need of additional referrals? We specialize in making your phone ring and getting you new evals each month.
