Looking for a way to release some of that tension? 😖
Our Lacrosse balls could do the trick! 🙌
.
.
Lacrosse balls can be used to help release those nasty trigger points. 👉Place the ball between either you and the floor or the wall, press your weight on the ball to create pressure. Slowly move side to side hitting all those tight spots. This is a great way to alleviate that stress tension often experienced in the shoulders. Its also great for trigger points in the glutes, hamstrings and calves.🦵

Ask a Patient Care Coordinator how you can get one at your next visit!

Needing to improve that hip mobility? 🙋
The hip airplane is for you!

Check out this patient's story😍
.
.
I am 19 years old and I have had constant pain in my dominant arm for three years. I could not do any simple actions, such as writing for school or even holding a water bottle. I tried various treatments, including surgery, but nothing I tried ever reduced my pain.
.
However, ever since I started physical therapy at the F.I.T Muscle and Joint Clinic, I have noticed a vast decrease in the amount of pain I experience. McKayla’s constant support, treatment, and encouragement have helped me immensely. I can now write all my notes without pain and haven't dropped anything in months!
.
I would strongly recommend anyone that’s in pain to seek physical therapy from McKayla at F.I.T.🙌

As many of us continue to work from home, and desk jobs continue to increase, the importance of mid back mobility can not be understated.
.
.
Why is this soo important?🤷
.
Thoracic spine mobility is an extremely important, and often times overlooked, component to a variety of dysfunctions. Poor thoracic mobility can affect the shoulder, neck, low back, and hips very easily. Unfortunately, our daily habits and posture make us all very prone to poor thoracic spine mobility.
.
These 2 videos are great ways to increase thoracic mobility after sitting at a desk for long periods or even prior to exercise.
.
👉 The first video is a reach through exercise to increase posterior hip mobilization and thoracic rotation. Start in the quadruped position on all fours and sit the hips back toward your feet while keeping a neutral spine, this will prevent low back rotation and promote mid back mobility. Perform 8 times on each side.
.
👉 The second exercise can be done anywhere to increase thoracic extension. Hold the second position for 10 seconds while keeping the low back neutral and dropping your chest to the ground, this will increase thoracic extension. Repeat multiple times throughout the day.
