Physical Therapy for Runners Whether a runner's goal is to improve their time, increase speed or stay fit, it's essential to maintain correct form to prevent injury. Physical therapists can advise runners on proper form, training methods, strategies for preventing injuries, and proper shoe selection and work with them to develop a plan, tailored to their specific needs, for successful running. Physical therapists can also evaluate, diagnose and treat runners who have sustained a running-related injury. https://lnkd.in/g9E4GtwN #spectrumtherapy #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapyelpaso #elpasotexas #qualitymatters #7locations

Here’s what you need to know 👇 Here’s one simple exercise I often recommend for patients! I call it the ER Press. We’re typically pretty good at strengthening rotator cuff muscles, but establishing dynamic stability is also really important during shoulder rehabilitation. You can use a resistance band for strength, but I also use it to provide an isometric resistance in one plane of motion, while moving in another plane. In this example, we are performing an overhead shoulder movement while needing to resist the band from pulling the arm forward. Remember, we need to be mobile in one plane but be able to stabilize in the others during movement. Are you a physical therapist aiming to enhance your skills in sports rehab? Follow for more practical advice! #physicaltherapy

Physical Therapy practitioners address the most basic tasks and movements first, such as safely moving from a bed to a chair while protecting your impaired arms from injury. They will gradually progress to exercises and tasks that improve balance, help you relearn basic coordination skills, and retrain your brain to perform functional tasks such as grasping objects and walking. As opposed to an OT, the PT addresses issues in the lower portion of the body. #physicaltherapy #strokerecovery #strokesurvivors
