    by Michael J. Velsmid, DPT, MS I should know better, but after spending $1,500 on a new mattress eight years ago, I was reluctant to throw it in the trash.  After a seventeen year professional career helping and advising people about treatment for back pain, even I did not recognize the importance of a good…

  • Why Do I Get ‘Stimulated’ During Physical Therapy?

    Physical Therapists often use electrical stimulation during treatments, which may initially be a bit scary or unknown for patients.

  • Anterolateral Ligament of the Knee

    by Rebecca Fitzgerald, DPT Have you heard the big news? The new discovery in human anatomy?

It was originally discussed in a publication in 1879 by a French surgeon,…

  • Back Brace or Core Erase?

  • Mummy Tummy Continued – Diastasis Recti

A lot of the questions have been repeats so I…
