When you need a haircut, you see a barber / hair stylist. When you need your eyes checked, you see your optometrist. When you have a cough, you see your family doctor. Our specific needs are linked to a person who is an expert in that field. Now, when do you see an Athletic Therapist? Athletic Therapist are experts in musculo-skeletal injury assessments (in clinic care and on the playing field), treatments and injury rehabilitation. Musculo-skeletal injuries include the following:
 Athletic Therapists conduct thorough assessment of their clients to figure out what and why they sustained the injury. Once the injury has been figured out, the therapist will educate you on what he/she observed based on the assessment and patient history, along with subjective findings you provided. Another aspect of Athletic Therapy that we take pride in is our hands-on approach to musculo-skeletal injuries along with tools/modalities that can help with tissue healing. Hands-on consists of soft tissue massage, ultrasound, IFC, tense machine, hydrotherapy, cryotherapy, acupuncture, soft tissue release technique, cupping massage, PNF stretching etc.
An Athletic Therapist not only an expert in injury assessment but also an expert in rehabilitation exercises. This is important because the goal is to help you prevent further injury or to help you from re-injury. At the end of your session, you will receive an exercise program that you can do at home. We’d like to thank you for your on-going support and for reading our articles. Please follow along with stretch Friday on our YouTube channel.

Learning human anatomy stresses the movements and functions of each individual muscle in the body. The most important aspect of human anatomy is that the body is design to move, to bend left and right, to rotate and to bend forward and back. Every single joint from the neck to the ankle joint bend side to side, left and right and rotate. Most people that come into our clinic expressed that they do not know how to stretch and for how long and when to do the stretches. With stretching parameters, it will depend on the nature of what you do throughout the day. Workplace:
Activities:
Understanding your daily activities at your workplace or home will determine which body part or stretches you need to do for balance so you can continue doing what you need and love to do. The goal of stretching is not to be flexible but to loosen muscle tension so your muscles and joints continue to function properly. Benefits of stretching:There are different types of stretching style that you can adapt to your regular regimen. It could be full body flow like in yoga, or full body and specific joint/muscle stretches. If you’re a beginner in stretching, 5-10 minutes to start will be a good enough first step to take. In addition, here is a list of what to expect when you stretch.  What to expect:
