Once physical therapy comes to an end, many people stop working out or doing their assigned movements or stretches. This should not be the case! You shouldn’t stop working on your movements or stretching even if you are pain free. This is because some people’s bodies revert to what it was preinjury, if they’re not continuously strengthening or being pushed. Here are some of the things you should be doing if you want to stay pain free and prevent any further injuries from happening;
-Do Your Homework!
-Keep Moving!
-Manage Recovery Accordingly!
-Eat Well!

Sometimes when you have pain it radiates or moves to another part of the body. This can be called many things from referred pain, radiating pain, or centralization. This typically is caused by shifting inflation, spreading nerve pain, irritation, and sensory processing issues. Here at Specialized Physical Therapy, we can help pinpoint your pain and strengthen that area and surrounding areas, so that you won’t have to compensate so much when doing everyday tasks.

Many people who experience back pain tend to get relief from sitting down or leaning while sitting. This is because leaning opens the spinal canal and reduces pressure on the lower back, this also unloads irritated facet joints. The real question though is; should you be leaning or should you avoid leaning completely? This really all depends on the posture of your lean and how often you lean when you sit. Avoid leaning completely if you can, but if needed to relieve pain, do it by hinging your hips rather than rounding your back and keeping your spine in a neutral position with your chest open. Think about it like going from a 90-degree angle to a small acute angle rather than rounding out. Leaning is ok when done correctly and not for too long, but if you are experiencing ongoing pain, please feel free to reach out to Axis Spine and Orthopedics to schedule a consultation!

Why do biomechanical evaluations matter? They matter because to start your recovery process, our team needs to know the hidden mechanical issues of your joints and ligaments. Biomechanical evaluations can include reviewing current and previous pain, walking, running, range of motion exercises, and flexibility and muscle strength tests. That way we can determine how we can help with your recovery. This will allow us to pinpoint the pained or weakened area so we can focus on strengthening the area and preventing future injuries. It also lets us track your progress during your time in physical therapy. If your in pain and need a consultation, please feel free to reach out to Specialized Physical Therapy.

Knowing when to return to exercise or everyday movement is very important. This can make the difference between recovering 100% or prolonging the healing process. Many people try to push through the pain, thinking they are making the injured area stronger, when in reality they may be irritating it further and extending the amount of time it takes to heal. Giving your body the proper time to recover can help prevent setbacks and reduce the risk of re-injury. Five signs that may indicate you're ready to get back to doing what you love include: having little to no pain while at rest, being able to move your joints through a full range of motion without discomfort, having enough strength to perform basic movements without shaking or feeling weak, completing everyday activities without pain or irritation, and most importantly, receiving approval from your doctor or physical therapist. Every injury and recovery is different, so it's important to listen to your body and return to activity gradually. At Specialized Physical Therapy, we're here to help you recover safely so you can get back to doing what you love with confidence.
