#Repost @iss_seminars with @get_repost I'll just put this right over here..... Additive effect of ultrasound for plantar fasciosis ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this new prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial study by Katzap et al in JOSPT, 54 patients with plantar fasciitis were randomized into an active intervention and a control group. Individuals in the active intervention group were t...reated with self-performed stretching of the plantar fascia and calf muscles and with therapeutic ultrasound. Individuals in the control group were treated with the same stretching exercises and sham ultrasound. Both groups received 8 treatments, twice weekly. Outcome measures included a numeric pain-rating scale, the computerized adaptive test for the foot and ankle, and an algometric test. Both groups showed statistically significant improvement in all outcome measures (P<.001, both groups). At the completion of the study, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups in any of the outcomes. The authors concluded that the addition of therapeutic ultrasound did not improve the efficacy of conservative treatment for plantar fasciitis. Not surprising, as a fantastic review by Cornwall et al, also in JOSPT, notes that reducing tissue stress to a tolerable level, and restoring muscle strength and flexibility of involved tissues, have both been shown to be effective treatments for plantar fasciosis. We typically find issues with rotational motor control in the hips, and we use a combination of short foot exercises along with building competency and capacity in these patterns to effectively manage plantar fasciosis with Integrated Patterning. This can all be accomplished with very little manual work to the tissues of the foot. #integratedseminarseries #integratedpatterning #identifyisolateintegrate #integratedtherapeutics #integratedmobility #mobility #movement #fascia #connectivetissue #mechanotherapy #sfma #rehab #sportsrehab #softtissue #injurymanagement #sportsperformance #manualtherapy @enter_the_lab_ @drgomes.rehab @worthylakedc @fequalma @kookan

#PEclinicalday with Workers Cmpnstn BRD of Prnce Edwrd

Hey @cityofsummersidepeicanada! We have some amazing places here in our small but mighty city to keep us eating healthy with our busy lives, without sacrificing #flavor and #comfortfoods! Today I had a little extra time on lunch, so I hit up @farmedmarket for a keto friendly meal, along with some healthy candy (one bag has 28g of #fiber and only 3G sugar) and @glowjuicerypei for a massive, fresh and delicious salad! People often inquire to how and what I eat; basically ...I eat what I want, when I want. I eat intuitively. I dont count, weigh or fuss. I fuel my bod. I do tend to eat a bit lower carb (I have #hypothyroidism) but that doesnt mean I dont indulge (more than I would care to admit). I recently had my food intolerances tested by my naturopath, and it turns out that a lot of food I was consuming was actually causing an immune response in my body #eyeopening. Long story short, we have lots of awesome choices to keep us on track here in Summerside! These are only two of the rocking small business supporting healthy choices and good eats! It doesnt need to be hard See more

#happyhalloween friends! Come in for some #catupuncture and we will get things #cracking if youre not too scared

Disclaimer: please excuse the dirty mobile clinic floor (I promise our flood renos will be done soon! ) Here is your scary #halloween video of the day! #neurofunctionalacupuncture for post surgical rehab; right talus fracture and fractures of metatarsals 2,3,4 and severe dislocation of the 5th along with tear of the fat pad from the calcaneus post motorcycle crash. (Yes, #chiropractors do #postsurgical #rehab and #treatment ) After one treatment #ROM improved drastically (ie- couldnt even move toes before, to being able to bend and move them apart), pain decreased and scar tenderness decreased. Homework of #CARS #controlledarticularrotations and we are rocking and rolling

Lots of availability in our Summerside location on Thursday, November 1st! Call or message to book your appointment!

What is the REAL REASON your #glutes arent firing? Most likely due to the position of your #pelvis! Most of us stand with our ribs up and butt out... not only can this position cause #backpain (jamming errrrrrything up) but it will also make it more difficult to even squeeze your peach the muscles in the second picture (#psoas #iliacus #recfem) are the usual suspects. TIGHT #QUADS and the inability to even get your hip in a position to use your glutes is also very likely. I love butts. Let me help you get yours working and prevent (or alleviate) existing #backpain #hippain #kneepain (why did I include knee pain in the bunch? Ask me!)

Why not start your week off right?! Lots of availability in our Charlottetown Location on Monday!! (October 29th) Feel free to call (902) 303-8508 or message our Facebook page to book an appointment!

The phone lines at our Charlottetown location are down. If you need to reach our Charlottetown office please call 1 of these two phone numbers. (902) 303-8508 (902) 786-1067

Anyone who has come into my office with #footpain knows this to be true #Repost @thefootcollective with @get_repost Powerful words from the wise @chweingroff... If you sit in a chair 6 or more hours a day and dont work to offset those effects you have dysfunctional hips. The muscle imbalances created from prolonged sitting can manifest in many ways and one of them is poor control over your feet Flat feet, frequent ankle sprains, ankle problems - the hips are a big factor. This quote from Charlie says it all - address the issues at your hips and good things happen downstream at the feet .

Ok, so most days on my lunch break I take a quick nap #teamsleep but sometimes, (when my kittens are being little hellions and keep me awake) I work on my mobility. Here is shown one version of the #hipsleeper (still #teamsleep ) which works on #internalrotation. Since I began #pailsandrails @functionalrangeconditioning I have brought dormant muscles to life, in ranges of motion I never knew existed. Want to know more? #icanhelp and check out @functionalrangeconditioning to see what its all about! #controlyourself
