These include: ... - Sabzeh: Some kind of sprout or grass that will continue to grow in the weeks leading up to the holiday, for rebirth and renewal - Senjed: Dried fruit, ideally a sweet fruit from a lotus tree, for love - Sib: Apples, for beauty and health - Seer: Garlic, for medicine and taking care of oneself - Samanu: A sweet pudding, for wealth and fertility - Serkeh: Vinegar, for the patience and wisdom that comes with aging - Sumac: A Persian spice made from crushed sour red berries, for the sunrise of a new day We hope you have a wonderful Nowruz!

Happy Friday to you all! Today we will wrap up our transitional positions series with a demonstration of how to stand up from a kneeling position safely. This one is for any folks with lower extremity pain or general weakness. Assisted Kneel-to-Stand: In a kneeling position (use a pillow for cushion) place both hands on a stable surface such as a chair. Sweep one leg around so your foot flat on the ground, then press against your stable surface to raise your body. Sw...eep your other leg around into a standing position! Use the chair as much or as little as needed. #BelmontShore #PhysicalTherapy #BSPT #RehabTime #Rehabilitation #Rehab #PT #LongBeach #Medical #BelmontShorePT #BelmontShorePhysicalTherapy #Exercise #Movement #Muscles #Progress #Progression #DPT #PTA #PTAide #Health #transitions #jointpain

Resisted strikes Sports-specific exercises! This functional movement targets the abdominals & glutes to perform stronger, more powerful soccer kicks. Activating the obliques to rotate the torso during this exercise gives more power behind each kick due to torso-hip separation To perform this exercise: ... - Start with one leg back and load your weight onto your front leg - Squeeze your front glute and core and kick with the back leg - Don’t let the band pull your leg toward midline - Make sure to focus your attention on rotating the hips and shoulders - Use the strength from your core to power your strike!

PATIENT SUCCESS STORY After successfully completing physical therapy for back pain, our patient shared about his overall experience. ... When I came in, my back pain was so bad I couldn’t pick up my 5 and 3 year old daughters. I had to take stairs one at a time, and I would feel radiating pain with every step. Now, I’m throwing my girls over my shoulder, training for a marathon, and lifting weights again! Thank you Dr. K and colleagues! #BelmontShore #PhysicalTherapy #BSPT #RehabTime #Rehabilitation #Rehab #PT #LongBeach #Medical #BelmontShorePT #BelmontShorePhysicalTherapy #Exercise #Movement #Muscles #Progress #Progression #DPT #PTA #PTAide #Health #Healing #Sports #PatientSuccess #recovery

Let's discuss Shoulder Dislocation! Did you know the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body? It is also the joint that is most likely to dislocate. A dislocation occurs when there is a separation of the ball and socket in the shoulder. Dislocation can happen during contact sports, falls, or any direct trauma to the shoulder. A dislocation will more than often require the assistance of a health care profession to place the joint back into place. After the joint is rea...ligned a medical doctor will normally direct you to a physical therapist for shoulder rehabilitation. Shoulder dislocations can damage other parts of the shoulder including: the bones, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, and tendons. It is important to seek medical advice if you feel like you have dislocated your shoulder. Symptoms typically include: Pain Inability to move the arm Awkward appearance of the shoulder Physical therapy will help with regaining your range of motion and strength that may have been affected from the injury. Physical therapist will design an individualized exercise program that will help with muscle retraining, range of motion, and strengthening the joint. They will also focus on joint awareness and teaching you how to prevent future dislocations from occurring. See more
