Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
Primary Care
So where do we start turning this ship around? Ideally your primary care provider would be a huge driver. However, most medical school curriculums spend very little if any time teaching our future physicians on exercise prescription. Additionally, consider the average doctor visit lasting about seven minutes in duration. How much exercise and nutrition education/coaching can be accomplished in such a short period of time?
Emergency Care
During the gold medal game, we stayed pretty healthy. Unfortunately we had to sideline one of the defensive backs due to concussive symptoms. She had a pretty extensive history of concussions so we wanted to err on the side of caution. We were winning with just about 2 minutes left in the game when a player from Great Britain had a late tackle on one of our players. Our player hobbled off to the side and because of a palpable deformity and positive Ottawa Ankle Rules, we determined she likely had a fibular fracture. Well here’s the thing....We were about to beat Great Britain and planned to celebrate after the game. We were scheduled to leave Finland the very next morning. We had no idea how to navigate the Finnish medical system. Luckily we had a walking boot and since the fibula only bears 15-20% of your bodyweight and is not a medical emergency when broken, we gave the athlete a choice. She could either wait in the emergency room for a few hours for evaluation and imaging and miss the celebration or we could give her the walking boot, manage her pain, wrap her up for the plane ride and let her go celebrate. What do you think she chose? So we picked her up and carried her onto the field when the time ran down to zero. We had beat Great Britain 42-14 for the gold medal! I have never been in a locker room to celebrate a championship win but I’ve seen plenty on ESPN. It’s exactly how I imagined. Champagne, yelling, hugging, cheering, chanting. And the cherry on top was getting a gold medal hung around my neck. One of the coolest things I’ve been a part of.

Chemotherapy
If you or a loved one has CRF, this program can help restore the sense of health, energy, and well-being that may be missing. Research has proven that exercise is safe and beneficial during chemotherapy, radiation, and is safe and beneficial for patients with advanced disease. If you are struggling to regain your strength and endurance, talk to your physical therapist to help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.
Radiation Therapy
Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common and difficult side-effects of cancer and its treatments. More than 78% of people with cancer complain of fatigue, making it a common and challenging symptom. There may be several reasons why you may have fatigue, but research shows that exercise can help decrease fatigue in cancer patients. CRF can be a common side-effect of cancer treatments including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and bone marrow transplantation, and can prevent normal daily function and significantly impact quality of life.

Whiplash
Neck pain can occur due to a muscle strain, a sprain in one of the ligaments or tendons in the neck, disc injury, arthritic changes, or trauma. This can be caused by an injury, like whiplash, or from straining the neck during everyday activities. Physical therapists at University Physical Therapy will evaluate you to identify the cause of the pain and then provide therapy to alleviate the pain. Treatments may include strengthening and conditioning exercises, flexibility exercises, instruction on proper posture, joint mobilization to ensure proper vertebral alignment and improve range of motion of the neck, nerve mobilization to provide pain relief, and massage.
Arthroscopy
Wound Care
We breezed past Germany in the first game, winning 62-0. The second game three days later was against Finland who gave us a run for our money in the first half. Fortunately we came back and defeated them 28-10. Game days looked a little different in that we slept in a little bit, did morning treatments at the hotel, had meetings and then transitioned all the equipment from our hotel training room to make an on-field training room. We had 30 minutes to wrap, tape, stretch and do any wound care needed for 45 women. Needless to say we were working at light speed. During the game we stayed on the sideline and tended to any injuries or wounds that occurred during the game. Proudly donning our fanny packs full of tape and wound care supplies, we constantly paced up and down the sidelines checking in on all the position groups. If you’ve ever been on the sidelines of a football field it is chaotic! If you’re holding someone out for assessment, you have to first determine what position they play, indicate which coach is their position coach and then activate a messenger system to deliver the news. Chaos.
Joint Replacement
In addition, physical therapy costs pennies on the dollar compared to your normal hospital or surgical procedures. For example, the total duration of physical therapy could cost $1,000. That is a significantly lower cost than a total joint replacement which can reach $100,000 or a spinal surgery which can cost even more. When you compare the research on conservative management (i.e., physical therapy) versus surgery, the outcomes are the same. So why not chose the less expensive and less invasive option more often?

Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine is a special focus on helping athletes reach their body’s maximum capabilities. We treat athletes at all levels and ages, including grade school, college, professional athletes, as well as weekend warriors. Physical therapists have a deeper understanding of exercise science, physiology, and biomechanics. It’s important to understand that physical therapy in sports medicine is not the same as other types of physical therapy for post-surgery or post-injury individuals. Our highly trained staff will look closely at improper posture, body mechanics, and provide proper training & technique on exercises that will eliminate any areas of weakness and help stretch your muscles farther while preventing any injury.

Frozen Shoulder
Are you having shoulder pain? Do you feel like you are losing the ability to reach up or overhead? If so, then you may be experiencing symptoms of a condition called Frozen Shoulder. Frozen Shoulder, or known medically as Adhesive Capsulitis, affects 2% of the population and can result from viral illness or prolonged immobilization. Although frozen shoulder predominantly affects women over the age of 40, as well as those with Diabetes, it is not exclusive to these populations. If these symptoms sound familiar, reach out to your physical therapist or healthcare provider.

Manual Therapy
Spinal manipulation, also known as “High-Velocity Low-Amplitude Thrust” or “Spinal Manipulative Therapy,” is a technique that treats back pain, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Spinal manipulation is a unique technique where the therapist uses their hands to apply a rapid impulse, or thrust, in order to achieve a “popping” or “cracking” sound, similar to the sound you hear when you crack your knuckles. Manipulations tend to give people a sense of instant gratification after feeling like they are “stuck” or “stiff” in certain areas of the spine. Spinal manipulation is used by physical therapists to...
TMJ Dysfunction
The goal of a physical therapist for someone with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD) is to provide pain relief using a variety of techniques to improve your range of motion through exercise and manual therapy, to improve posture and muscle imbalance. This common condition limits the natural functions of not only the jaw, but it can also influence the alignment of the head and neck.
