ACL Tear

My 14 year old daughter sustained a ACL tear playing soccer. She was able to work with Dimitry Polyakov after her ACL reconstruction surgery.

Dimitry was absolutely amazing with her during her rehabilitation! After 4 months of Physical Therapy she is ready to return to playing soccer and lacrosse!

Even her Orthopedic Surgeon (Hospital for Special Surgery) commented on the great progress she made with Dimitry while in Physical Therapy.

Thank you for everything Dimitry!!!

I highly recommend Dimitry and Total Physical Therapy to all.

Being aware of how you stand is a BIG deal☝️. Of course it’s important to figure out WHY you’re not standing in the most optimal way, but 1st you need to bring attention 👀to the fact that their way isn’t exactly sustainable.

Most clients have no idea that they’re leaning forward/backwards, to one side or the other or hanging on one hip more than the other. To them – they feel upright 🗼 …. but as you can see here – its not always the case.

We often discuss ‘stacking’ of the ribs over the pelvis as one way of looking at creating a better center. What muscular patterns compliment that position?

What tissues create optimal tension that generates the necessary torque to position the body more optimally? 🙌 Those are all questions that we discuss in order find a solution to our cases.

ACL physical therapy mendham NJ

I’m running 2 months after an ACL tear thanks to Dimitry! I believe he is the guy to see not only for physical therapy but for any physical imbalances causing pain.

I’ve learned a tremendous amount from him in a very short amount of time. He has helped me not only with my injury but with my workouts and daily movement. He is a great guy – highly knowledgable and a great communicator.

ribs and pelvis alignment

We talk a lot about rib-cage position☝️, but the relevance of this simple. Your abdominals attach to these ribs. Check out your ribs! What’s their position? Do you see a pattern in these pics? 👀
If the ribs/thorax are not moving well then your abdominals will be under uneven tension.
That means that your Ribs and pelvis will not move well or reciprocate during functional movements like walking or 🏃‍.
Let’s fix that! 💥

Here’s what happens if you take the time! LEFT-sided lower back pain, LEFT-sided neck pain & LEFT-sided hip pain. Stance looks good, slow-motion #gait analysis shows RIGHT-sided hip deviation – find the #WHY & there goes her left sided hip, neck and back pain. Here @ @totalptnj we always focus on treating the #problems & then 💥go the #symptoms!
