Check out this testimonial on the immediate effects of laser therapy on knee pain from one of our patients at OrthoWell Physical Therapy in Newburyport

Most of us have heard of RICE or PRICE for an acute injury like an ankle sprain. However, recent updates suggest that we should think about the POLICE.

PRICE stands for Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. However, research and current evidence suggest that we should not be promoting Rest, but instead, be promoting Optimal Loading.

POLICE is just that, all elements are the same except Optimal Loading is substituted for Rest.

For example, if you sprain your ankle, instead of staying off of it in a walking boot, the current best management is gradual return to normal activity.

Optimal Loading is not clear cut, so feel free to call us today to gain access to a therapist who can help you through all parts of your injury! ... See more

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR ROWS

Standing cable rows are a great row variations that can not only help build upper back and scapular(shoulder blade) strength but also improve core strength.

- Chin should be tucked and neck in a “neutral” position and should remain in that position when initiating the pull and also when squeezing the shoulder blades at the end of the movement.

- Movement from the arm should be initiated by retracting the shoulder blade and bending back the elbow until it is just about even with the body. Shoulder blades should then be squeezed back making sure not to shrug the shoulder up.

- Low back should be in a “neutral” position and should not over extended when initiating the pull or when you squeeze the shoulder blades at the end of the movement.

- Preforming this cable row variation with a single arm will add an anti-rotational component to the movement. Make sure to resist movement at the pelvis by not letting it rotate. ... See more
