Technology Tuesday!!! If it doesn’t twitch stim it!! This patient had their bilateral L2-L5 multifidi needled and stimmed today for treatment of chronic low back pain. We use the E-Stim II unit at Physio Pro for intramuscular electrical stimulation. It is a dual channel, portable, continuous frequency unit that features Milli-amp (normal current) and Micro-amp (micro current) settings.

With dry needling, a twitch response is desirable but not necessary for an effective treatment session. A dry needle induced local twitch response (LTR) provides greater pain relief than a needle penetration without the local twitch response. However, it may also be the source of post-treatment soreness. The twitch elicited from electrical intramuscular stimulation causes the same electrophysiological response as what occurs with a LTR. It presents a way of obtaining this desired treatment effect without the post-treatment soreness.

Needling itself is a great tool for symptom management but it must be followed with a sound corrective exercise session or reductive/manual treatment for maximum effectiveness or else the results will be transient. #dryneedling #dryneedlingtherapy #physiotherapy #physioprofamily #lowerbackpain #backrehab

This years Physio Fit classes moved outdoors and it couldn’t have gone any better. We had some cold mornings, some dark mornings, and some gorgeous sunrises. All the while our team worked their butts off and made the best out of this new and uncertain situation we are all experiencing. Thank you for making every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning special! We’ll take our circuit training class outside again in the Spring! #physiofit #circuittraining #coloradosunrise @n2_health_fitness @atinfinitypark

End stage knee rehab with focus on resisted deceleration with change of direction today. The ability to slow the body down or stop altogether, in order to make another movement or change direction are essential in all field sports. Training this way also builds resiliency to injuries such as ACL and extensor mechanism pathologies. It is paramount to include drills like this in programs in the later stages of rehab. This knee is ready for the rigors of gameplay! Good luck @ian_van_duursen You have put in that work! Go have fun. #kneerehab #physiotherapy #decelerationtraining #eccentrictraining #soccerrehab #soccer #soccertraining

Arch Position: Has anyone ever told you you have flat feet? There are several factors that contribute to “flat feet” and not all of them are structural issues. 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 🔹
This patient has had several ankle sprains that weren’t really rehabbed appropriately and as a result, the muscles around their foot and ankle have become weaker. Not being able to stabilize their foot/ankle, or control their arch can lead to a number of painful conditions like plantar fasciitis, knee pain, or in their case shin splints. 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 🔻🔻🔻 🔻🔻 As you can see in the last picture, even in standing, the starting position of their foot is going to make it pretty challenging to control their foot while walking, hiking or running. 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 Keep an eye out for the next post where we’ll go through some solid foundational exercises for helping maintain your arch and strengthen from the ground up.

This is a daily question we get on a regular basis!

🔬📚
Exercise and Pain
-
Awesome post from @dr.caleb.burgess !
👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

💥 If you're suffering from pain, monitoring the following 3 activity responses can help guide you regarding when to back off or modify an exercise or activity (or the total volume of activities) and when it's likely acceptable to continue or progress:
-
1️⃣ Pain DURING activity
2️⃣ Symptom response for 24 hours AFTER activity
3️⃣ The TREND in symptoms over time
-
🤕 Ideally, we'd like to keep pain levels minimal to none (0-3/10), although in some cases moderate amounts are acceptable (4-5/10)
-
📉 We'd also like to see it settle back down to baseline levels within 24 hours and that the trend over time is an improvement in symptoms and activity tolerance
-
🚨 If we’re not achieving this, we may need to review activity levels and modify them to create the desired response
-
🤔 If you're having trouble figuring out how to keep your pain levels in these tolerable ranges, try to modify one or more of the following as it relates to your activity or exercise of choice:
-
✅ Range of Motion
📌 If deep squats hurt, try decreasing the depth a bit
-
✅ Exercise
📌 If an exercise hurts, choose a different one that is more tolerable and provides a similar stimulus
-
✅ Contraction Type
📌 If concentric (shortening) contraction of the muscle hurts, try eccentrics (lengthening). If that still hurts, try isometrics (contraction without movement)
-
✅ Body Position
📌 Seated shoulder presses hurt? Lean the seat back 5 or 10 degrees and try that instead
-
✅ Rest Time
📌 Increasing the rest between sets can allow you to perform a bit more volume without being limited by endurance
-
✅ Frequency
📌 If training 5x/week is too much, try dropping to 3 or 4x/week
-
✅ Duration
📌 If a 20 minute run bothers your knee, try a 15 minute one. Or perform walk-jog intervals for 20 minutes
-
✅ Weight/Load
📌 If deadlifting 315 lbs hurts, try decreasing the weight. If running on concrete hurts, run on a track
-
✅ Speed
📌 Faster speeds usually require a greater capacity from the body. Try slowing down your reps or runs.
