Whether you have pelvic pain or have been suffering for a long time, seeing a physical therapist at Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers can help you return to a more active and pain-free life. Give us a call today at: Bradenton-Central Clinic: (941) 749-1734 Ellenton Clinic: (941) 721-1854 help ease friction from tissues running together; however, they can also become inflamed due to overuse and repeated activity, resulting in pain. Even activities such as standing too long to watch a holiday parade may result in achiness from irritated bursae in the side of hip or inside of the knee. The benefits of physical therapy are vast, and it has been proven that those who participate in physical therapy treatments typically heal much quicker than those who do not. At FYZICAL, we will create a personalized treatment plan for you, based on the specific needs of your condition. Keep the following in mind to avoid repetitive strain injuries • Break up your repetitive movement tasks. • Practicing correct lifting techniques (with your legs, not your back!) • Maintain proper posture throughout the day. • Listening to your body - take a break if you are painful and seek the help of your physical therapist if it persists. Our goal is to help our patients regain their peak levels of physical function, while simultaneously reducing their risk of future problems. If you have sustained a repetitive strain injury this holiday season, contact our office to schedule an appointment with one of our highly trained physical therapists. We will help you recover and get back to holiday festivities as quickly as possible!
Injuries to the muscle and skeletal system can typically be placed into two categories: acute injuries and repetitive strain injuries. Acute injuries are caused byasinglespecificstressful incident,whereas repetitivestrain injuriesarecaused by excessive repetitive movements over time. Repetitive strain injuries are very common. They are common especially this time of year, when your body is experiencing more physical activity with all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. For example, running around shopping for holiday gifts, standing in the kitchen for prolonged periods of time while cooking extravagant meals, and reaching up repetitively to hang up those decorations are all activities that can cause a repetitive strain injury. Some common examples of these injuries include: • Strains. Musclesor tendonscanbecomestraineddue tooveruseand repeated activity. This causes inflammation, which can result in pain. So, if you feel achy after walking miles around the mall buying holiday presents for your family, it may be your body’s way of telling you you’ve done too much! Posture strains are a major part of this injury type. If the pain lasts longer than a week or so consider a referral to physical therapy to guide the injury towards full recovery. • Tendinitis. Your tendons are thick bands of tissue that connect your muscles to your bones. Tendinitis occurs when your tendons become inflamed, which, again, is a result of overuse and repeated activity. There is so much movement going on throughout the holidays that it is possible for tendinitis to develop from excessive repeated physical activity. Examples of tendinitis are tennis elbow and achilles tendonitis (heel pain). • Bursitis. “Bursae” are liquid sacs that can be found between tissues. They

5 HEALTH TIPS FOR THE NEW YEAR
1. Shop Well For Yourself. It is more important then ever to stock your kitchen with healthy foods. Have healthy snacks handy. The more convenient they are, the more likely you are to eat them. Instead of thinking about what you shouldn’t eat, promise to eat your 3 to 5 servings of vegetables each day. 2. Schedule Your Exercise. Schedule your workouts just as you would any other appointment. It’s okay if you can’t make it to class, but make sure that you get some activity in at least three days per week. 3. Just Say No. You probably aren’t aware how much extra food you consume just from people offering it to you. A sample at the market here, an extra cookie at an office party there and it all adds up. Just think twice before you take that food and decide if you really want it. 4. Skip the Baking. Make non-food gifts, or prepare ingredients for baked goods and put them in pretty jars—this year, let your gift recipient bake it up. That way, they can eat it when they want it and you don’t have to be tempted in the kitchen. 5. Hydrate. Keep your water bottle with you at all times. You should be drinking eight, 8-ounce glasses of water each day. One handy trick is to buy a 64 ounce water jug. Fill it up in the morning and know that you need to finish it by the end of the day.

I’m back on the tennis court again! “The therapists at FYZICAL were able to restore the flexibility in my hips and knee after Total Knee Replacement surgery. They combined cutting edge techniques with time proven methods to reduce pain, promote healing, and restore function. I’m back on the tennis court again, cycle and do everything they way I used to before my knee became a limitation to my lifestyle. I’m forever thankful to Frank and Chris for helping me get back to living the way I expect to life.”

DIRECTIONS In a pot with a tight fitting lid, combine the collards with the chicken stock, garlic, hot sauce, and half of the salt and pepper. Cook on low heat for about one hour, or until collards are tender. Once tender, stir in the allspice, powdered peanut butter, and lemon juice. Keep warm. Season the pork tenderloin with the remaining salt and pepper, and broil in a toaster oven for about 10 minutes to an internal temperature of 145°F. Turn the tenderloin every two minutes to achieve even browning. When finished, remove the pork from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the pork and serve on top of the braised greens.
