Greetings

 

Welcome to the Gemini Physical Therapy Spine & Sports Rehabilitation newsletter.

 

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH

National Physical Therapy Month (NPTM) is celebrated every October to promote the physical therapy profession and raise awareness about the numerous benefits of physical therapy. It’s a time to learn about and appreciate the work of physical therapists (PTs), physical therapist assistants (PTAs), and physical therapy students. NPTM provides an opportunity to highlight the value of physical therapy in improving the lives of patients.

 

PREVENTING AND TREATING RUNNING INJURIES

Running injuries can be a frustrating setback for any athlete. Whether you’re a casual runner or a marathon runner, learning how to prevent and treat common running injuries, such as runner’s knee and shin splints, is key to keeping you active. 

MOVE WELL

Cumulative Trauma Disorder

Are you feeling the effects of repetitive movements like muscle tightness, fatigue, numbness, tingling, and vague pain that often worsens with activity and eases with rest? You might be suffering from cumulative trauma disorder. Physical Therapy offers relief from cumulative trauma disorders such as tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, and low back pain.

 

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PHYSICAL THERAPY AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?

The terms Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy are often used interchangeably, but they are two distinct therapies. Physical Therapy focuses on improving mobility and function; it helps to relieve pain, increase range of motion, and develop gross motor skills.

On the other hand, occupational therapy focuses on improving your ability to perform daily tasks, such as dressing and eating, among others. Occupational Therapy helps to improve fine and gross motor skills, allowing you to perform your daily activities independently.

While Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy focus on different things, they both enhance overall functioning and improve quality of life.
