POST-SURGICAL REHAB BECOME HEALTHIER, STRONGER, MORE ACTIVE
It is a common aspiration to become healthier, stronger, or more active. However, this can sometimes be a difficult feat, with lack of time, pain, injuries, or difficulty sticking to a nutritious diet. Travis Carruth can attest tomuch of this. Travis tore his right ACL causing knee pain, swelling, and hampered the leg movement while playing his favorite sport of baseball for Bemidji State University. In his case, the treatment included surgery and then post surgical rehab with Brady Miller, DPT, Cody Schepp, DPT and TJ Knowles, PTA and for a short time with Hibbing Clinic therapists while he was home on holiday break. Our physical therapy team and his determinationwas just what he needed to help himget back to his optimum level of function and his daily routines after the surgery. When you are in pain, undesirable chemicals within your body are heightened, which can increase stress. As a result, your endocrine system becomes affected, which works to regulate the hormones in your body. Fortunately, the vast majority of aches and pains can be successfully treated by a licensed physical therapist.

Your physical therapist can provide you with exercises, stretches, and nutritional tips that can help increase your health and help you feel physically better overall.

Did you know that there are approximately 642 skeletal muscles in the human body? Your muscles work hard, not only to help you move, but also to support your circulatory and breathing systems. When you become stronger and more flexible, you become healthier overall. Our physical therapists can guide you through proper exercises and specialized treatments in order to relieve your joint andmuscle pain, increase your strength and flexibility, and improve your overall health.
