__ Is your physical therapist working one-on-one with you to help you reach your goals? Are they using their hands to work out the soft tissue tightness and tension that is causing your pain? If you are going into your PT session only to do exercises mostly by yourself and maybe guided by an aide, THAT IS NOT PHYSICAL THERAPY!! __ Your PT should have the skill-set and knowledge to work hands-on with you every single time you go in for your PT session.

Core stability utilizing RECIPROCAL INHIBITION: Contracting a muscle group on one side of a joint can relax or inhibit the muscle group on the opposite side. Here we’re contracting the hamstrings to try and inhibit the quads. There are some core exercises that require a lot of hip flexor/quad activation and it’s very easy to overcompensate causing your core activation to be less than adequate. Try utilizing this reciprocal inhibition technique and let us know what you think! ...Instead of a body blade you can pump your hands up and down like Pilates 100s or try crunches or even sit ups. 1 Hook heels/ankles at edge of bed. Lean back 2 We’re using a body blade to contract the abdominals. Try Pilates 100s-like arm movement or crunch up and down. 3 Don’t forget to smile . #bodyblade #coreworkout #core #abs #hamstrings #quads #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #pt #exercise #therehabgroup #temecula #murrieta #reciprocalinhibition #inhibition #thursday #almosttheweekend #temeculaca #temeculaparkway See more

Hippocrates, the father of medicine, helped normalize the perception of disease and dysfunction. He developed and organized the use of intervention through not only medicinal when necessary, but conservative measures as well. Hippocrates continues to influence us to do no harm and his quote reminds us not to lose sight of our main objective in this profession. #inspire #hippocrates #influencer #legend #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #dpt #temecula #murrieta #menifee #frenchvalley #bearcreek #anza #aguanga #physicaltherapyassistant #occupationaltherapy #pta #patientfirst

For those of us who struggle with low back tension and limited lumbar mobility, try this subtle yet intensely effective stretch. 1 Use a soft foam roller and note that too hard of a foam roll can be too much too soon. 2 Place the foam roll at the curve of your low back. If you don’t have a curve, you probably need this more than you thought. 3 Don’t go crazy, slowly lower your hips and try and tap your glutes to the ground and back up. ... 4 You can also sustain the stretch position for 30seconds to a minute with breaks in between #therehabgroup #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #dpt #physicaltherapyassistant #temecula #murrieta #stretch #stretching #exercise #foamroller #foamrolling #foamroll #lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief #pain #rehab #recovery
