Balance
Balance is an essential component to our daily function and quality of life. There are many systems in our bodies that contribute to our balance. This presentation will review: the specific systems that enable us to keep our balance, how we can train these systems to improve our balance, and different conditions that can cause balance disturbances. We will also discuss the role of Physical Therapy and provide guidelines for home safety to mitigate fall risk. Participants will receive an individual balance screen conducted by two Doctors of Physical Therapy from Capital Area PT & Wellness
Frozen Shoulder
Adhesive Capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, impacts more than 200,000 people in the United States annually, especially those over the age of 40. Frozen shoulder is characterized by progressive loss of shoulder range of motion. Patients often present with increased pain while sleeping or when reaching behind their back. While frozen shoulder can improve with time, physical therapy is a key intervention in restoring range of motion. Unfortunately, frozen shoulder can often begin without an apparent cause, especially in certain demographics or those with a diagnosis of Diabetes. Please join us as we discuss time lines for healing, physical therapy interventions, medical interventions, and what to expect following a diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis.
