Physical Therapy
Emily Grosse, PT, DPT shares how physical therapy can help treat urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain and abdominal weakness following childbirth or surgery.
In your everyday life, you may not even think about your balance and quite often we take our balance for granted, but it is an important and vital part of our health and well being. Many elders fall each year due to balance and stability issues. It has been shown that falls can reduce the quality of life and increase the mortality rate for seniors.
That is why, in this segment, Jennifer Ballweg, Physical Therapist at Stoughton Hospital joins the show to share with you how to do balance and stability training to reduce the risk of falls, at any age.
If you are living with chronic pain, you might want to consider dry needling therapy. Dry needling is a physical therapy intervention used to target muscle banding or knots.
In this segment, Stoughton Hospital physical therapist, Liz Touchett, discusses Dry Needling, and the benefits it can offer those that suffer from chronic pain.
Astym® treatment is a therapy that regenerates healthy soft tissues and eliminates or reduces unwanted scar tissue that may be causing pain or movement restrictions. Astym® treatment is highly effective and even works when other approaches routinely fail. When your health and ability to stay active is at stake, only the best will do.
In this segment, Carin Johns, Physical Therapist at Stoughton Hospital and certified provider of ASTYM, joins the show to discuss the benefits of ASTYM and how it can help you return sooner to the activities that you enjoy
America is in the midst of an opioid epidemic.
To address this national health crisis, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued guidelines in March 2016 urging providers to reduce opioid prescribing in favor of safe, non-drug alternatives such as physical therapy for chronic pain conditions. The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) launched a national public awareness campaign to educate consumers about the risks of opioids and the safe alternative of physical therapy for pain management.
Listen in as Emily Devine, Physical Therapist at Stoughton Hospital, explains that physical therapy can reduce the need for opioid medications.
Lymphedema is the accumulation of a particular kind of fluid, typically in one part of the body. Lymph is the protein-rich body fluid that accumulates when the lymphatic system for fluid transport is damaged.
Fluid transport is one very important component, but many do not realize that the lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It fulfills the function of ‘immune trafficking,’ the process whereby infection-fighting cells can be mobilized to the tissues that require assistance.
Melissa Monte, a Stoughton Hospital Occupational Therapist, is here to discuss how Stoughton Hospital can help if you’ve been diagnosed with Lymphedema.
When the vestibular organs are damaged with disease or injury, the brain can no longer rely on them for accurate information about equilibrium and motion, often resulting in dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, and other symptoms.
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an exercise-based program designed to promote central nervous system compensation for inner ear deficits.
Most VRT exercises involve head movement, and head movements are essential in stimulating and retraining the vestibular system.
Jennifer Ballweg is here to talk about how vestibular rehabilitation can help with vertigo.
Parkinson’s Disease
In this panel interview Emily Devine, DPT, and Rachel Peerenboom, DPT discuss Parkinson’s Disease and how LSVT Big can help ease some of the symptoms.
LSVT-Loud is an amazing speech treatment for individuals with Parkinson’s disease or other neurological conditions. It can greatly improve vocal volume and articulation through voice muscle stimulation exercises.
LeaAnn Worachek, MS/CC-SLP, shares how LSVT-Loud works and the incredible benefits patients may experience through this treatment.
According to the The National Parkinson Foundation, an estimated one million people in the United States, and four to six million worldwide, have parkinson’s disease. It affects more people than multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease), muscular dystrophy, and myasthenia gravis combined.
In this segment, Emily Devine, DPT, joins the show to discuss management of Parkinson’s Disease, Parkinson Wellness Recovery & LSVT-BIG Certifications for Parkinson’s Disease.
