KELLI JEANSONNE,PTA, COVINGTON CLINIC Getting To Know The Star PT Staff
I love to make everything into a workout. At the ballpark, I pull weight bars out of my trunk and convince the soccer moms to do Body Pump with me. When my friends visit, I teach them line dances. When blow drying my hair, I do squats until my hair is dry. That’s just a few of my many exercises that I do. My absolute favorite exercise is kayaking! Besides exercising, I enjoy boating in the Tchefuncte River with my husband and children. I am a born teacher, who loves to treat patients. I enjoy meeting new people, educating them on what they will be doing and helping them to reach their goals. In the process, we have a lot of fun, and I gain another friend. Kelli’s words of wisdom: “My advice is to be less serious; stay active; and laugh often. That’s the key to both mental and physical health.”
Kelli , WE ARE SO HONORED TO HAVE YOU AT STAR!!

work much harder than they need to. This leads to possible pain in the back, hips and knees. It also causes fatigue after walking, even for a little while. If you are experiencing pain again after therapy, it might be because muscles or joints have tightened or become weak again. The Remedy The simple solution is to put the spring back in your step.This is accomplished by first analyzing how you walk. There are slight changes in the way that you walk and move, that our trained medical experts can pick up on. This analysis tells us just what joints or muscles are stiff, stuck or weak. By pinpointing the exact areas of your body that are not moving as they should, we can make a plan to increase motion, strength and improve coordination.
Hip & Knee Pain with Matt Slimming, PT, DPT
Dear Valued Client,
Do you find it harder to walk, run or exercise? Is hip, knee or leg pain keeping you from being active? If so,
Matt Slimming Physical Therapist
understanding how your body walks and moves can be the key to putting the spring back in your step. Put the Spring Back in Your Step Think of your body as a big spring that stores and releases energy with every step. The efficiency of your walk comes from the effectiveness of your flexibility, strength and balance. When any one of these is off, it affects your ability to walk efficiently and takes a lot of energy. This results in strain to different joints and makes muscles

FIND OUT IF YOU ARE MOVING LIKE YOU SHOULD
Can you do these simple tests to see if your hips and legs are as flexable and strong as they should be? Try them for yourself and let us know how you did.
• From standing, can you touch your toes? This indicates hip and low back flexibility.
• In sitting can you comfortably cross your legs so that your ankle is resting on the other knee? Does one knee go further down than the other? This indicates hip flexibility. If one hip is tighter than the other, it can wreak havoc with your walking and even cause knee pain. • Keeping your feet flat on the floor and holding onto something solid, how far can you squat down? You should be able to squat all the way down so your buttocks almost touch your heels. Don’t let your heels pop up! If you favor movement to one side, you probably have hip weakness on that side or limited motion in the hip joint. • Standing near a counter top, put one foot in front of the other so that you are touching heel to toe. Without putting your hands down, see if you can balance for 10 seconds, keeping yourself steady. If you cannot, then you have trouble with the coordination of your balance from the nerve endings in your hip, knees, ankles, and feet. Restoring Normal Pain-Free Motion Restoring normal motion is key to alleviating pain and allowing you to do the activities you love to do safely. Physical therapy is the key to restoring normal joint and muscle motion. Our medical experts pinpoint the key problem areas that you may not even be aware of and focus on a custom treatment plan that will restore your normal pain-free motion. Performing at Your Best Whether you are just out for a walk or are an avid athlete, we can help you walk, run, and play better. With our motion analysis, strength testing, coordination testing, and more, we can spot your muscles and joints that need flexibility, strength, or coordination. A specific training and treatment plan is then put together to help you reach your peak movement with the least effort.

“The atmosphere is professional, caring and dedicated.” Success Story: Gabrielle S. “My experience with the staff and therapists at STAR has been wonderful. With patience and care, especially Maria, my knee is greatly improved. The atmosphere is professional, caring and dedicated. I’m happy to report that since my PT I am able to resume most of my regular exercises. I have continued doing exercises that I learned at Star. Especially stretching ones. Can I retake that picture wearing heels, because that’s the thing I am most happy to be able to do again, wear heels!?”
Combine 3 tablespoons oil, rind, juice, and garlic in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle fish with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium- high heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add 3 fillets, skin side down; reduce heat to medium, and cook 5 minutes or until skin is golden and crisp. Turn fillets; cook 3 minutes or until done. Remove fish from pan; keep warm.

How I Got My Hands on the Top 10 Burning Questions for Sciatica I have a good friend in Physical Therapy who specializes in treating sciatica, just like we do here at STAR PT Clinics. He shared with me how he surveyed 3,100 back pain and sciatica sufferers from all over the world: each of the 50 States in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Europe and the UK. We then went through and answered each of those questions and created a report to help back pain and sciatica sufferers right here in Louisiana. Here are the Questions: 1. “How long is this going to take to go away?” in the report we share the 10 factors you can control that speed natural healing. And he compiled a list of the top 10 burning questions for sciatica.
5. “Should I use heat or ice on my leg?”
6. “Which exercises should I do?”
7. “How often should I do exercises? And do I need to do them forever?” 8. “What do I need to do to completely heal? Is it going to come back again?” Here we reveal the 3 Phases of Healing.
