Reddy-Care PT & OT: Neck Pain and Stress

Practice News

Reddy Care Gets Featured On News 12 Long Island Naturally Here is some behind the scenes footage that aired March 20th! Dr. Vinod Somareddy, DPT explains how the feedback from the gait analysis of the Tecnobody Virtual Treadmill can provide a much deeper look into what’s going on in the body. When there is a weakness in the body the entire system must adjust to compensate causing a disruption in balance. This can lead to overuse of some muscles, weakness in others, and stress on joints that can’t be sufficiently assessed without accurate measurement. So while in theory you could just wait a while, strengthen that knee or hip, and get back out there, you may still have weaknesses and extra stress in certain parts of your body. This may go unnoticed and could potentially put you at risk for further injury. The real time analysis helps pinpoint where these weaknesses are present and correct what might present a problem down the road. Make sure you check out the whole story!

The Affects Of Text Neck

In-Home Physical & Occupational Therapy

In our era of constantly being on smart phones, tablets, and computers, we often put our necks and backs in positions of prolonged stress. Over time, this contributes to increased stress to our vertebrae, disc and muscles supporting the spine. “Text neck” is the

term used to describe the neck pain and damage sustained from looking down at your cell phone, tablet, or other wireless devices too frequently and for too long. We often see patients who have suffered from back and neck pain for years who could have been treated very easily when the pain started with simple postural corrections and stretches. If you have been suffering from back or neck pain, come see one of our therapists for an assessment of what is contributing to your pain.
