knee pain

Go see Lauren! I was very close to having knee surgery when a friend recommended I go see Lauren first. Thankfully I did and a month or so later, I was pain free! And still am two years later. I’ve been back for some other minor issues (shoulder/heel) which she has also remedied. She clearly communicates what you need to do after every appointment – including videos to show proper movement. She is truly amazing! Thank you Lauren!

one on one scheduling

Here is our @totalptnj ‘front desk staff’ answering an email remotely from a client trying to schedule an appointment ASAP.

Hint: we have NO front desk staff. We have NO answering service. We have YOUR physical therapist answering YOUR email and or phone call & working with YOU to coordinate services. That’s how we roll folks!

 

ACL, surgery, soccer

Here’s a picture of one of our athletes 7 weeks post ACL reconstruction surgery. Who says you can’t deadlift significant weight <2mo. Post-op!?

Always follow protocol ☝️, but remember folks … it’s a guide & NOT a bible! ⚽️💪🏼

If you have proper form and know how to stabilize the pelvis and spine, those knees become quite 😃 & stable!!

Foot position, breathing & other factors come into play here. This one’s going to be killin’ it in 2019.

Have you gone through ACL #rehab ? When did you start doing #deadlifts ?

Do you know the #why behind the most relevant movement the lower body has during PT? 😮

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! 💥
