N E W S L E T T E R REDDY CARE OPENS A CLINIC IN THE NORTH SHORE TOWERS
Jessica relocated to New York and has been working for Reddy Care as a Home Therapy Clinical Director, overseeing more than 65 physical and occupational therapists. At Reddy Care, Jessica provided outpatient physical therapy services to the geriatric population in the comfort of their own home. Jessica has experience treating a variety of conditions and with patients who have multiple comorbidities. She enjoys treating post-operative patients including total knee, hip, and shoulder replacements, rotator cuff repairs, lumbar spine, and cervical spine operations, and patients with balance deficits and neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease. Jessica is seeking continued education courses in LSVT BIG, a program focused to help patients with Parkinson’s disease, and increase her manual therapy skills as well to further help patients with mobility and pain issues at any joint or area of their body. Her favorite part of physical therapy is creating a relationship with her patients and working to help them achieve their goals to get back to doing the things they love the most, providing them the ability to do those things safely and independently!
We are very excited to announce that Reddy Care now has a clinic in the North Shore Towers! Dr. Z, who has been the trusted PT in the towers for 20 years, is retiring and he is trusting us to take his place. We are so excited to meet everyone there and continue on his legacy. Dr. Jessica Armillay, PT, DPT graduated from Misericordia University in 2016 with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. She practiced for over 2 years in a high volume outpatient physical therapy clinic providing physical therapy services on land and in an aquatic therapy setting in Pennsylvania. Jessica worked with patients of all ages to help them achieve their goals.

INSIDE : • Physical Therapy And Your Neck Pain • Reddy Care Makes The 2020 Inc 5000 List! At Reddy Care Physical and Occupational Therapy, we believe that patients and individuals should be able to function at their utmost potential. This means that along with being pain-free we want our patients to be active and maintain a healthy lifestyle so they’re able to do all the activities they enjoy. Our in-home physical & occupational therapists have the unique ability to evaluate, treat, and improve our patient’s condition in the comfort of their homes through a one on one personalized and scientific approach. Falls are a major loss of function and result in a decline of health among seniors. It is a well-documented fact that 1 out of 3 adults over the age of 65 sustains a fall every year and those who fall are 2 out of 3 times more likely to fall again within the next 6 months. Apart from the obvious adverse effects of sustaining a fall such as an injury, hospitalization, and decrease in physical status, a fall can also have debilitating effects on the individual’s lifestyle causing fear of falling and an overall decrease in their ability to go out and socialize in the environment which they are living.

Our In-Home Therapy program provides an excellent opportunity for individuals who are prone to falls or have sustained a fall to work on improving their balance and have a personalized approach to help improve their overall physical activity to promote wellness. To prevent falls we must look at the body systems that help us maintain our balance. Our physical therapists also specialize in providing an individualized home exercise and self-management program which will ensure that you are able to maintain your functional status even after you have stopped therapy.

Physical Therapy And Your Neck Pain
The good news is that there is actually a lot that you can do to support the healthy operation of your neck, thereby reducing the severity or frequency of your neck pain. Working with a physical therapist is the best way to address neck pain. During physical therapy, your neck pain will be addressed holistically, taking into consideration the initial injury that may have caused the pain to develop, but also any other habits, movements or compensations that may be contributing to the discomfort. Physical therapy takes advantage of strategies like manual therapy, stretching and muscle training to reduce neck pain, and many of these strategies can be adopted in part at home or on-the-go to help you address your neck pain when it is bothering you the most. Adopting healthier habits can have a big impact on your management of neck pain. These include: • Practicing improved posture • Wearing recommended footwear • Using lumbar support in your desk chair or car • Exercising regularly • Engaging in regular stretching, like yoga
One of the primary goals of physical therapy is to address whole-body well-being by encouraging improved overall health. In many situations, this includes improved flexibility and range-of-motion training, muscle building and strength training, and even in some cases, encouragement with cardiovascular activities and weight loss. At the end of the day, the best way to be free of neck pain is to prevent neck pain from developing, and working with a physical therapist can help you in this regard, as well. The tasks that you do every day can build up over time and cause a lot of stress on your body, and the neck and shoulders are some of the most common places to carry that stress. You may not even realize the impact that simple tasks that you do every day have on your body and your experience of pain. Things like driving, lifting heavy objects — like packages at the front door or even your groceries — and repetitive movements like hunching over a keyboard at work can all seriously impact your neck pain. The longer you let neck pain linger and disrupt your life, the more difficult it becomes to treat. If you experience an injury, the smart thing to do is to consult a physical therapist soon after the pain develops.
