Here at PTI we are dedicated to providing the best care to our patients. Have you had difficulty with your posture lately? These scapular stabilization exercises are perfect for you! Perform these exercises 3x/wk to see results!

Shoulder pain can be due to multiple reasons including poor scapular stabilization. These three exercises are utilized to help promote scapular stabilization while maintaining proper posture to target essential muscles. You can perform these exercises without resistance bands as a beginner and progress to using the bands to build strength. Interested in learning more?

Do you have Chronic Low Back Pain? Low back pain may be caused by weak core muscles. In today’s video by James Quinn, PTA, we will share a gentle strengthening core exercise you can do at home! By laying down in this position, pressure it taken off your low back. By simply resting your legs on an unstable ball, your body will involuntarily use your stabilizing core muscles. You can further strengthen your core muscles by gently rotating your legs to the left and right. Call to schedule your appointment with us today (510)-524-2177!

Are you experiencing hip pain? This Figure 4 stretching technique can help open up the hips and stretch out your Piriformis muscle that lies underneath your Gluteal muscles! This video shows two different ways to perform this stretch depending on your needs. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information on how we can help relieve your hip pain here at PTI!

Do you have back pain? This plank is an exercise you can try to improve the stability and strength of your core and back muscles. It will help you have more stability during daily activities. Alex Lin, PTA is showing proper form in this video by keeping his head neutral, shoulders aligned with elbows, neutral back and legs hip width apart.
