In the Fall of 2006 my life changed for good. I was held back by a stroke and it made me see things very differently ...

During my recovery, I put the unexpected "down time" and uncertainty during my stroke season to good use.  While the stroke forced me to take time from my private physical therapy practice to give my brain and body necessary time to heal , it also provided me with valuable therapeutic time to harness some brain gain.   My recovery was aided by building my websites, guidebooks and soon to be released DVD's filled with methods that will enable you to manage or eliminate your pain, recover from injury,  and achieve your goals in a safe, effective way. 

Good News:

I've recovered from my stroke and want to share these resources now available on my websites.  For anyone who currently needs rehabilitation help to achieve their goals or have hit a plateau getting there, I am offering my resources to help you.

Here's How:

Help for the Physical Therapy Patient

Note to the Patient:

My physical therapy coach site provides a brief description of a beginning list of some of the most common musculoskeletal injuries which physical therapists and sports medicine specialists treat often as well as an outline of initial treatment guidelines. Please review some of the sample reports on the Nav bar to the left.  With full access to my site you'll get quality physical therapy coaching advice delivered free each month direct from my Coach's Clipboard simply by subscribing to Health-E-News. 

Attention Physical Therapists: see my note how this site may help you too!

Educate yourself about your Physical Therapy needs:

I've built this resource with the goal to strive to empower you through education.  An understanding of the root cause of injuries allows for treatment of the entire problem, not just the symptoms.

Here's a quick example of cause vs. symptoms:

The common thread in most of the adult-sports-injuries I treat in my private physical therapy practice  relates directly to extra body weight on the scale.  As you review these top adult-sports- injuries and link to the articles that describe the common signs / symptoms and causes you'll see that top on most of the lists for added risk of injury are  carrying extra body weight.

Achilles-Tendinitis

ACL / knee injury

Ankle-Sprain

Back Strain

Hamstring Strain

Herniated-Disk

Piriformis-Syndrome

Plantar-Fascitis

Sciatica

Shoulder /Neck Pain
