Dimitry is incredibly knowledgeable and helped me understand the whole picture of how the different problems with my body relate to & cause one another. This was the first time someone has been able to give me the ability to comprehend how it all works and the realistic belief that I can get better.
He doesn’t try to treat just one problem from one type of angle like many specialists and doctors do; he gives you a comprehensive explanation and strategy to resolve the interconnected issues at hand. He’s very approachable and reassuring, and I never felt like an anomaly or like there was no hope. 10/10 would be recommended!!!
Another sweet before & after from a lacrosse player who doesn’t remember ever being able to touch her toes.
➖ Low back pain to NO pain 💥
➖ stretching never got her anywhere, but several treatments that included NO STRETCHING 😲 worked wonders for her 👍
➖ now she just has to repeat what we did in the clinic and she should be golden! ✅ #movehealchange
I am so happy and thankful to share that we watched him have a brilliant game this past Saturday. The first since you have been working with him. Coach Sam was amazed at his performance as well. Dom feels different as a result of his ‘Dimitry workouts’ and he says he definitely feels a change in his body. Feeling truly grateful and blessed for your work with our guy.
This was a mind-altering weekend that was spent learning from one of the best in the business! 💥💥
Thank you so much to Mike Cantrell (@mikecantrellprc) & to the Postural Restoration Institute for continuing to advance, elevate & separate our practice from the rest of the pack! 🙌👍 … & to TJ Martino (@the.performance.therapist)for being my co-pilot for the weekend.
Looking forward to using & integrating this material ASAP with all Total-PT patients! 👊😎#movehealchange
Our bodies are amazing 🙌 at compensating for the smallest of deviations. When they do, they will not send you an email to let you know that the correction is taking place. —-😤
Those compensation patterns eventually add up to undue tension and torque . Eventually that leads to your body contacting you with a message … that message is pain. How you answer your body back matters💥 #movehealchange
Clients come to us all the time saying that they’ve been told that they’re ‘out of alignment.’ They’re constantly going back for adjustments & that they work really well – for a while! But they always ‘go out,’ & have to regularly go back to be readjusted!
Adjustments (or REPOSITIONS) are great. If they don’t stay in alignment then that’s not great! 👎What that treatment approach has is a POOR STICKINESS FACTOR! What’s their long term strategy❓ To keep going back❓ Over & over?❓Don’t you think that’s a bit silly⁉️
What YOU WANT . . . Dare we say what YOU NEED is a HIGH STICKINESS FACTOR‼️ What if we not only REPOSITION, but also RETRAIN⁉️Then you can RESTORE your ability to ‘_____.’💥
Now you DON’T need us. You need YOU! Oh . . . .you already own YOU & it’s FREE!🙌 Now that’s a great ROI!💰 #movehealchange
Best of luck to @jakefish33 of PDA Soccer Acadamy as he heads to Rome to compete in the Roma Trials coming up this week 🇮🇹!
Here’s to playing a small part in making your childhood dream come true!
Fingers are crossed! Shout out to @the.performance.therapist for bringing in a few pearls of wisdom along the way🙏 this past weekend. Excited to have Total-PT working together with the #pdasoccer community here at @topcornerbridgewater 💥
#Patterns. #Habits. 🍅. Tomahto. We look @ patterns & try to figure out WHY our clients come in ’stuck’ in certain patterns/habits. Sometimes they come in saying that they don’t know how to not do what you see here!🆘
⬇️
patterns of stance✅
⬇️
patterns of movement✅
⬇️
Some are optimal, but some need a bit of refinement. This ⬆️ pattern is the most common❗️Anterior pelvic tilt &/or forward shift of the hips. Compensatory anterior rib flare. Forward head posture. That’s just a super short list of the sagittal plane. What’s the ripple effect on the shoulders, neck, knee, ankle, foot, etc…?😲☢️
⬇️
You can tell someone to just ‘stand up straight’ or to ‘suck in their bellybutton,’ or to ‘put some weight through your heels.’ But that would not be very optimal now would it? I think that would be very 1999!#movehealchange
We are super excited to be working with the PDA Soccer Pro-Trac Boys Squad ⚽️ over the next 2 nights.
Total Physical Therapy will provide a 20 minute complimentary biomechanical evaluation of each athlete. The evaluation is set up to screen for potential markers of injury such as ACL or meniscus tear, hip or groin strains, stress fracture of the lumbar spine or any other soft tissue pathology. If the athlete has a past medical history of injury or is currently injured, this would be an ideal time to undergo the screening.
Parents are highly advised to attend, as the assessing physical therapist will relay the results to you directly and make recommendations as necessary. This screening will take place in our Bridgwater, New Jersey facility inside Top Corner Sports. #movehealchange
Have you had #physicaltherapy like it’s 1999? (sorry @prince)
⬇️
Do you start w/ hot packs followed by ultrasound?😕Then you go through a few exercises on your own while no one is watching your form?😟Do you finish up w/ a short massage, ice & e-stim?😩 Do you repeat that 3x/wk for 6-8weeks?Hmmmm . . . . .

⬇️
You know that you can do heat and ice @ home for free right? 😠You also know that you can now get an E-stim unit for under $40 on Amazon or CVS & do that at home for free too… right? OK, just sayin’!

With an average co-pay of $35 – the above course of treatment will run you close to $900 out-of-pocket💰(that’s with a conservative estimate of in-network co-pay pricing folks!) –

Hmmmm . . . Some of us may have done that too back in 1999, but I heard there are better options out there now!💥 #movehealchange #sundayrant
