Did you know , your ability to control what movement occurs at the knee when running or jumping🏃♂️ helps to determine your risk for a future ACL injury?
.
.
Most ACL injuries occur during non-contact movements involving changes of direction, and sorry ladies - we're 4-6x more likely to injure the ACL than males. 😭
.
.
Try this soft landing drill to work on control of your hips, knees, and ankles while applying load.
.
🌟 The key is to keep the knee in line with the toes and sink into the hips. This is a quite exercise, you should try your hardest not to make a sound as you softly land.
.
Add a band for a little extra resistance.

Looking for a way to release some of that tension? 😖
Our Lacrosse balls could do the trick! 🙌
.
.
Lacrosse balls can be used to help release those nasty trigger points. 👉Place the ball between either you and the floor or the wall, press your weight on the ball to create pressure. Slowly move side to side hitting all those tight spots. This is a great way to alleviate that stress tension often experienced in the shoulders. Its also great for trigger points in the glutes, hamstrings and calves.🦵

Ask a Patient Care Coordinator how you can get one at your next visit!

Check out this patient's story😍
.
.
I am 19 years old and I have had constant pain in my dominant arm for three years. I could not do any simple actions, such as writing for school or even holding a water bottle. I tried various treatments, including surgery, but nothing I tried ever reduced my pain.
.
However, ever since I started physical therapy at the F.I.T Muscle and Joint Clinic, I have noticed a vast decrease in the amount of pain I experience. McKayla’s constant support, treatment, and encouragement have helped me immensely. I can now write all my notes without pain and haven't dropped anything in months!
.
I would strongly recommend anyone that’s in pain to seek physical therapy from McKayla at F.I.T.🙌
