ARE YOUR MIND AND BODY FULLY CONNECTED? OUR REDCORD SUSPENSION SYSTEM MIGHT BE THE RECIPE FOR A PAIN-FREE LIFE!
When your body and mind are properly connected, the resulting effect can feel nothing short of amazing. But, if you’ve suffered an injury, your brain’s ability to utilize the correct muscles at the correct time, using just the right amount of force, can easily become impaired. When this happens, the connection between your brain and specific joints in your body falters, which causes the muscles in the surrounding area to overcompensate for the loss in function. Unfortunately, this leads to abnormal movement, muscle strains, and pain. Because our philosophy at Regenerative Physical Therapy & Wellness involves a holistic approach, we use neuromuscular activation to improve your mind-body connection in order to help return you to a pain-free state. WHAT IS NEUROMUSCULAR ACTIVATION? With its many syllables, neuromuscular activation might sound like an intense process, but we’ve actually had patients refer to it as “a ton of fun” — and that’s because it is! We start by looking at how your body moves as a whole, searching for muscular deficits and abnormal movement that may be contributing to the root cause of your pain. Next comes our amazing Redcord Suspension System . While you are weightlessly suspended, your therapist accelerates your motor learning,
enabling neurons in your brain to be more energized and efficient at doing their job. Similar to floating in a swimming pool, this pain-free environment is safe for any age, condition, and strength level, and it allows you to focus on each precise movement pattern.
This treatment method has proven effective for many of our patients. Check out Sherry’s story below:
“I was diagnosed a year ago with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Getting up and down was so painful that I didn’t want to move, but Redcord therapy was and is the answer for me. Strong functioning muscles are necessary for people like me who suffer from a debilitating disease or condition that makes life so miserable. It is pain-free physical therapy with amazing results. Plus, Regenerative Physical Therapy & Wellness is a first-class facility. Daniel and his team are friendly, professional, and specialized!” If Redcord therapy worked for miracles for Sherry, it can work for you, too! Call our office today to see how you can get started on your journey to a happy, pain-free life.

GREEN BEANS
WITH GINGER
AND GARLIC
Turkey is, for the most part, a healthy and lean protein. Thanksgiving sides, on the other hand, tend to be a little more indulgent. This year, eschew the classic, creamy green bean casserole in favor of this lighter, healthier, and altogether tastier option.
