SOS Physiotherapy: Herniated Discs

The Lumberjacks Twins at SOS

Mentoring Corner

The physiotherapists at SOS Physiotherapy are dedicated to learning and helping each other hone their skills to enable their patients to get the best outcomes possible. They get together weekly to practice their hands on skills and share ideas, all in an effort to improve the overall care for our patients. Here’s what we’ve been working on to get you better faster. Here Steve is helping Christine improve her Dry Needling acupuncture skills... and Jon

is the pin cushion! They’re squeezing and grabbing to find the tight bands in the Upper Fibers of Trapezius (that’s a mouthful) and then using one needle to go in and out of the muscle bands to release them. This is a very effective technique for muscles that are guarding or are in chronic spasm from an old injury. If you’ve got lingering pain that nothing else has worked for, this will often do the trick. Come in for a consult or ask your physiotherapist. Make a point of doing it...

Is there a Lumberjack in the house? No, Dave and Adam did Not plan this..
