◾️◾️◾️Meniscus Tear◾️◾️◾️ The #meniscus is a piece of cartilage that provides a cushion between your femur and tibia. There are two menisci in the one knee joint. Damage or tearing of the menisci can be caused by: 🔺activities that put pressure on or rotates the knee joint, 🔺trauma from falls or accidents, 🔺and wear and tear over time. Dutch researchers following more than 300 patients with a torn meniscus that was not severe enough to lock the knee found that joint function improved both with surgery and with physical therapy, according to the report published in JAMA.🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶. The conservative Physical Therapy approach should be considered first before surgery. 👉🏾👉🏾 #PT1st #physicaltherapy #physio #pt #titanpt #betterfasterpt #kneepain #meniscustear #prevetion #strength #exercise #venom #flexibility #ortho #pmdsystem #wednesday #wednesdaywisdom (at Marina del Rey Main Channel) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boe93aSBvi9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rdk2tj18r2j9

Posture, Pain, and the Pectoralis Minor (Pec Minor) The pectoralis minor is a small thick muscle found underneath the pectoralis major near the shoulder attaches from the mid front rib cage to the front of the shoulder blade. The pec minors function is to provide stabilization to the shoulder blade and assist with pulling the shoulder blade forward. This function impacts both good and bad posture. Prolonged poor postural positions ie shoulders hunched, head forward typically leads to the pec minor shortening/tightening sustaining the position and making it increasingly more difficult to correct. Continuation of this muscle imbalance can lead to pain/symptoms in the neck/shoulders/arms/head. A home program including stretches such as the doorway/wall stretch, manual therapy, and postural strategies can help retrain the pec minor and other postural muscles to treat current symptoms and prevent future symptoms. See your local Physical Therapist for a postural assessment and a personalized treatment plan. @Dr. Jemal Khan #neckpain #backpain #posture #ergonomics #techneck #physio #physicaltherapy #titanpt #betterfasterpt #thirstythursday #hunchback #Giuliani #pmdsystem #injuryatlas #theraflex #dodgers #goblue #7thinningstretch #october (at Chavez Revine Dodger Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LA0OEh2rN/?igshid=2v9q6wfx2bgb

The National Institutes of Health has recommended that overweight or obese patients with knee osteoarthritis can reduce their discomfort by about 50 percent and improve their function and mobility by losing 10 percent of their bodyweight over an 18-month period. #TitanPT #PT411 #betterfasterPT #pdPT #APfitt #physicaltherapy #kneepain #osteoarthritis #prevention #pt1st #pmdsystem #nutrition #moderation #fridayfitness #friday #summer (at Culver City, California)
