As the summer ended, we all, as parents, went through our yearly ritual of getting our kids reading for the upcoming school year.  As I picked them up after the first day of school, I found myself staring at all these kids, many of which already had loads of books, with bad back pack form.  I just shook my head, as I just knew that back pain was just around the corner.  Despite their potential problems, backpacks are great when used properly.  Before you buy one, though, consider a backpack’s construction. 

Get Rid Of Dizziness With Physical Therapy

by

Dealing with dizziness and vertigo symptoms can definitely be challenging.  When undergoing Physical Therapy for these symptoms, the path to better living can be filled with ups and downs.  And, as I tell all my dizziness and vertigo patients, you have to keep up the work even after you’re discharged, as they can come back when you least expect it!  But even if the symptoms return, you can always get right back into Physical Therapy to quickly rid your life of pesky dizziness and vertigo problems.

Your Chair Is Killing You!

by

You’re injuring yourself at work — daily. But I have an office job, you think; my workplace is altogether too safe. Actually, that’s the problem. Sitting at a desk all day, and the repetitive motions that accompany that sitting, cause microtrauma in our bodies. New studies are beginning to reveal that extended periods of sitting and sedentary behavior have a significant
negative effect on our well-being — and an even greater impact on our overall health than our diets.

Independent Again With Physical Therapy

by

When Physical Therapy patients come into our clinic, one of our main goals is to help patients get back that feeling of independence.  With each Physical Therapy visit, every patient starts to take little steps toward feeling like they’re getting back to normal, getting back to their every day routine.  And who doesn’t like a little bit of normal?

The Top Home Exercises For Sciatica (Part 2)

by

In my previous post, we began the series on my favorite exercises for back pain coming from sciatica that I give all my Physical Therapy patients in the Elizabeth and Jersey City clinics.  We started out with a simple prone prop up on the elbows.  Now that we’ve got the basic prone prop up on the elbows down pat, and once that exercise can be performed with absolutely no discomfort or pain, we can now follow the progression into the next motion:

Feeling “Totally Different” With Physical Therapy

by

It’s easy for me as a Physical Therapist to tell my patients that they’re lives are about to be completely changed for the better because they’ve made the decision to come in for Physical Therapy.  But it’s even easier for me to prove my point when they actually begin their Physical Therapy, because it’s one thing to say it, but another thing completely to see it working on yourself day after day.

The Top Home Exercises For Sciatica (Part 1)

by

When undergoing a course of Physical Therapy for sciatica, an efficient recovery includes home exercises that patients must complete in order to have the best chance and reducing pain symptoms and getting better faster.  Studies have shown that skilled Physical Therapy in the clinic in conjunction with a good home exercise program produce the best and most efficient recoveries from back pain due to sciatica. 

So what we’ll do is go through my top home exercises for sciatica that I regularly recommend for all my back pain and sciatica Physical Therapy patients

by

Have I really made sure that my patient has all of their questions answered?  Do they feel secure about this visit?  These are questions that I’m always asking myself when my patients are progressing through their Physical Therapy visits. 

And this is exactly why we, as a group of Physical Therapists, have made it our company culture over the past 13 years to make sure that we take our time with our patients, and that all their needs are met during each and every visit.
