January 29, 2019|Exercise, Health & Wellness, Motivation, Pain Relief, Physical Therapy, Pilates, Runners, Trigger Dry Point Needle, Winter Exercise

By Ross Bodine, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT You’re running along just fine and your right knee starts to hurt – just a little – and it keeps on hurting – just a little bit more. You’ve been hitting it pretty hard lately and start to wonder if you’re  over training. But think about it: Why does the right …

My road bike has been “tucked in” for the winter. Even with the unusually warm weather in Boulder, I have switched to gym workouts and weekend hikes. And I’m not the only one. Have you tried to find an open treadmill on Monday morning? But, compelling information about the benefits of cold weather exercise is …

Unexpected Consequences – Youth Sports

December 4, 2018|Concussion, Exercise, Health & Wellness, Heel Pain, Hip Weakness, Pain Relief, Physical Therapy, Runners, Sports Injury Rehabilitation, Swimming, Triathlete, Youth sports

We all know kids who specialize in a single sport. The advantages seem obvious. Putting in more time early and working harder than the competition leads to a better chance of success later, right? Even though that seems to make sense, early specialization may not be giving kids the advantages parents imagine. And it comes …

SEND YOUR STRESS DOWN THE ROAD

SEND YOUR STRESS DOWN THE ROAD

September 28, 2018|Back Pain, Exercise, Health & Wellness, Motivation, Pain Relief, Physical Therapy, Pilates, Runners, Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Like clockwork, every time I bent over or sat too long, my hamstring muscle talked to me. What started as tightness that ran down the center of my right thigh soon became a nervy pain I could not ignore. I would fidget and squirm my way through car rides, desperately changing positions to ease the …

Train Your Brain Away From Pain

June 27, 2018|Exercise, Health & Wellness, Motivation, Pain Relief, Physical Therapy

For as long as he could remember, Steve had a tight IT band. Mostly he ignored it, but when it interfered with skiing, he’d had enough. That started a cascade of events – three surgeries, and still a knee that was not right. The doc confirmed it. “Someday, you’ll be looking at a total knee …

Learning New Techniques: We Are Problem Solvers – You’re Our Puzzles

June 27, 2018|Exercise, Health & Wellness, Motivation, Pain Relief, Physical Therapy, Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Physical therapists pride themselves on staying fit, and our PT staff is no exception. That’s why I was shocked when, at a recent in-service, we looked more closely at our own limitations. Our colleague, Lori, asked for a subject to demonstrate a technique for opening up the front of the chest, and Russ volunteered by raising …

Hip Weakness – Getting Your Glutes Firing

May 30, 2018|Abdomen, Back Pain, Exercise, Health & Wellness, Hip Weakness, Motivation, Pain Relief, Physical Therapy, Runners, Sports Injury Rehabilitation, Trigger Dry Point Needle

We talk about the gluteal muscles a lot. Why? Because if you are walking or running and your glutes are not working, it isn’t pretty. And it doesn’t feel good either. Getting those muscles firing is sometimes a matter of paying attention and sometimes a matter of strengthening. Either way, without gluteal muscles working, your hip …

It’s depressing… how could a little fender bender wreak such havoc? Though it’s been months since her accident, Julia still feels dizzy. And she’s exhausted. The focus required in her nursing job wears her out, especially when she’s on the computer. She usually leaves work with a headache, and dragging herself to the gym is hard …

  Dee In her 70 years, Dee’s back had never bothered her, until one morning as she got out of bed she noticed a pull in her right lower spine. She tried stretching, but the pain just worsened. When it did not stop for several days, she made an appointment with an orthopedist. He took X-rays, but …
