Greetings

Welcome to the August newsletter from Physical Therapy Advantage.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT - SUSAN

Susan has been working as our Patient Care Coordinator for 1 year this month! We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Susan. She is an amazing person to work with as she helps EVERYONE! Because of her, our clinic runs smoothly!

When asked what her favorite food is she answered Kjøttkaker (Norwegian Meatballs) and Raspeball – Potato Dumplings (do you think she is Norwegian?)

Her dream vacation would be to go to Norway to see the Northern Lights. (do you see the theme here - she must be Norwegian)

Her favorite music to listen to is, of course, Traditional North Germanic Norwegian vocal music. JUST JOKING! She actually loves "easy listening" music.

SAYING GOODBYE -

Last week, we said goodbye to Alex. He has a busy senior year at Aurora University and other opportunities that he cannot pass up. He has plans to move to Texas and go to Physical Therapy school in the future. We wish him the best of luck, but he will be missed by our staff and many of our patients. Good luck Alex!

In this newsletter we’re discussing running injuries.

NEW AUGUST ARTICLE

Preventing and Treating Running Injuries

Running is a healthy, full-body activity that supports mobility and longevity. However, running injuries are quite common and if they are not properly treated, it may be hard to quickly return to this beneficial exercise.

Learn more about strategies that prevent or treat running injuries.

LIVE WELL

The importance of ergonomics

Ergonomics refers to making physical, cognitive, and organizational adjustments that promote muscle and joint comfort while reducing the risk of injury.

Common adjustments include: making postural changes, correcting chair or desk height, improving equipment spacing, or acquiring ergonomic equipment.

MOVE WELL

Understanding Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a common disorder in which bones begin to lose vital minerals that provide structural support.

This condition causes bones to become brittle and prone to fractures. More than 75 million people worldwide suffer from osteoporosis, but its progression can be delayed with timely management.
