Hello all! Just to first introduce myself, I’m Dr. Asha Koshy, co-owner and McKenzie back specialist for Complete Physical Rehabilitation. I’m so excited to begin blogging for our website and can’t wait to share my thoughts on so many topics relating to Physical Therapy, fitness, and wellness! So let’s get started, shall we?
In my last video, I went over my favorite tips that I give all of my Physical Therapy patients in Jersey City and Elizabeth regarding back pain that occurs at work, especially at a workplace workstation or desk. Of those tips, I believe that simple exercising and stretching can be the most beneficial to relieving back pain symptoms.
So here is my newest video, where I go into detail with my top 3 exercises for back pain relief methods that you can do right at your desk.
At the end of the day, it really is up to you. Pay attention to your self and how your environment is set up around you, and you’ll be that much closer to removing back pain forever from your life!
Well I did it. I FINISHED MY VERY FIRST RACE! I am so happy to have participated in the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon and honestly can’t believe that I completed a half marathon as my first race ever.
No one really gives you advice for POST race recovery. And as I was sitting there, I realized that I wasn’t necessarily engaging in activity that would help my recovery go smoothly, and neither were some of the other runners around me. So I decided to focus on what would be best to help me get back on my feet faster.
So here are the Top 3 Tips for post race recovery:
Overall, I’m more than pleased with how my training has progressed and I’m chomping at the bit to get at the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, now only less than 3 weeks away!
After a great start to my training, I expected a little pushback to my running training in week 2 last week, but it didn’t come from where I expected it to. I actually started out with a great 2.5 mile walk/run to start out the week, but then it hit me…
It cannot be said enough that our greatest reward comes from seeing our Elizabeth & Jersey City Physical Therapy patients reach their goals to improve their quality of life using Physical Therapy.
The icing on the cake has been coming from our patients that have been spreading the word lately on the internet by sharing their amazing recovery stories.
Surgery in general can be a very emotional experience. And to have major surgery, that’s just as emotional as it comes. So I and my partners know that it’s important to make sure that the patient is not only physically getting better, but that they are doing well emotionally as well.
We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for someone who became a part of our family. Congratulations to Jackie!! (Tip: When you watch the video below, you might want to have a tissue handy.)
It all boils down to the same thing: as a patient, you need to do your due diligence when picking your Physical Therapy provider. But how do you do that? Especially when you have a number of parties trying to tell you what to do?
After an extremely mild early winter/Christmas season, it appears that winter is fully set to arrive on Saturday, as the NYC/NJ area will have our first snowstorm of the season.
If you keep these tips in mind, hopefully you’ll be able to prevent extensive back problems from snow removal.
