PT360 has had great success helping patients achieve their goals using the RedCord.  We have had an increase in demand for the RedCord machine and have added a second RedCord in the office, which allows us to use it even more. This is a great way to teach your body better movement patterns that are pain-free!

Ankle mobilizations can improve dorsiflexion.

Ankle injuries are commonplace in athletics. An ankle sprain can be mild where ice, elevation, and rest results in full recovery in 7-10, or severe where immobilization in a boot is necessary and lasting 6 weeks. In either case the talus bone may sublux forward (anteriorly) and prevent full dorsiflexion of the ankle.

An elevated first rib is an underappreciated cause of neck and shoulder pain as well as numbness and tingling down the arm.  Common causes of an elevated first rib can be trauma such as whiplash where the head and neck get side bent, sleeping on the stomach and/or with the arm overhead, or repetitive usage of the arm overhead. 

On Thursday, June 6th at our Sandy Springs location, we held an open house for our current patients, partners and potential clients. Our own Sam Kridl, DPT, OCS did a demonstration on BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) therapy. BFR is a safe and effective training technique used to increase muscular size and strength using a FDA-approved tourniquet system.
