When I first came to OBTS I was in quite a bit of pain and had significant stiffness. My Therapy has consisted of muscle massage around my knee, stretching and strengthening exercises ice and e-stim. The routine became more intense as time went on, but it's made a real difference. My knee is much stronger and I am very close to being pain free. The entire staff is very kind and professional. I feel great about my experience at OBTS." -K. A.

I have noticed I have been able to stand for longer periods of time to converse with friends. I am back to bowling and can be on my feet for longer periods of time. Able to get around with friends to do things with them." -M. C.

"After suffering a back injury that left me in a lot of pain and numbness in my left leg, OBTS did a great job of fixing my problem. I am now playing racquetball and golf better than I have in years. They did such a good job fixing my back, I returned to have them work on my neck instead of getting another steroid injection. It was not long before my neck was also feeling better and I could have full range of motion. Thank you OBTS for making me feel 10 years younger." -L. J.

Become supermarket savvy by creating checklists for making healthier food choices in every department of your supermarket: P roduce. Spend the most time in the produce section, the first area you encounter in most grocery stores. Choose a rainbow of colorful fruits and vegetables. The colors reflect the different vitamin, mineral, and phytonutrient content of each fruit or vegetable. Meat, Fish, and Poultry. The American Heart Association recommends two servings of fish a week. Be sure to choose lean cuts of meat (like round, top sirloin, and tenderloin), opt for skinless poultry, and watch your portion sizes. Dairy. Dairy foods are an excellent source of bone-building calcium and vitamin D. There are plenty of low-fat and nonfat options to help you get three servings a day, including drinkable and single-serve tube yogerts, and pre-portioned cheeses. If you enjoy higher-fat cheeses, no problem -- just keep your portions small. HEALTHY OPTIONS Tips On Grocery Shopping For

3 Simple Shopping Rules Spend less hours in the grocery store by following these rules:

1. Shop the perimeter of the grocery store, where fresh foods like fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, and fish are usually located. Avoid the center aisles where junk foods lurk. 2. Choose “real” foods, such as 100% fruit juice or 100% whole-grain items with as little processing and as few additives as possible. If you want more salt or sugar, add it yourself. 3. Plan ahead for success. Before you set out for the market, plan your meals for the week, and create a list to shop from. It takes a few minutes, but saves time in running back to the store for missing ingredients.

Stiff Knee Syndrome (in medical lingo, Arthrofibrosis) This condition can occur after surgery on the knee, such as a knee replacement. Over time, scar tissue builds up inside the knee, causing the knee joint to shrink and tighten. Scar tissue from stiff knee syndrome can severely impact your knee’s range of motion. In the most severe instances, it can result in a permanent inability to bend and straighten the knee. Which then results in weakness of that knee and hip, and eventually cause issues in your lower back. We’ve even seen patients develop sciatica from it. So how do you know if you have stiff knee syndrome? • You walk with a bent knee • There is an increased amount of pain in your knee which could be the result of stiff knee syndrome, especially when it occurs along with reduced flexibility. • There is swelling in the soft tissue around your knee. This is different than swelling due to fluid buildup.
