When you’re a PT and your son sustains a small growth plate fracture . I applied @rocktape to my son’s right knee for swelling. The first day of his injury the circumference of his knee measured at 27.5 cm . After just 24 hours with the tape on, I re-measured his knee and it was at 27 cm . Rocktape, when applied correctly, can do wonders to relieve swelling, especially acute swelling. If you look at the last couple of pictures, you can see how the tape literally pu...lled the swelling away from the knee, as well as improved the bruising . My poor buddy now has 3 weeks in a knee immobilizer. Keeping a very active 6 year old sedentary shouldn’t be hard at all . #kneeinjury #kneepain #swelling #growthplatefracture #rocktape #physicaltherapy #bruising #physicaltherapist #orthopedic #sandiego #pointloma #onpointtherapy See more

This is one of my go-to treatments for soft tissue injuries! Here’s a great explanation of it . #Repost @astym_therapy with @get_repost Want to know what it’s like to receive Astym treatment? Here's an overview of an average Astym visit and what to expect:... . #EVALUATION: Your therapist will conduct a thorough evaluation to make sure Astym therapy is right for you. . #TREATMENT: Your therapist will begin the treatment by gliding an Astym instrument along your skin to activate a regenerative response in dysfunctional soft tissue. This process goes over the entire kinetic chain of the affected area. . #STRETCH & #STRENGTHEN: After treatment, you are given a customized routine to maximize the strength and function of affected tissues. . #training #rehabilitation #astymtherapy #workout #healthy #tips #physicaltherapy See more
