Did you know that every NFL team and MLB team has their very own physical therapist. They are all licensed and all perform care when necessary. @YHSMrsMero #WISE #PhysicalTherapy

I would like to announce that I have committed to Russell Sage College! I am so so excited to continue my academic career in their health science/physical therapy program! @YHSMrsMero #PhysicalTherapy #YHSWISE2023

To help with any lower back or hip pain, a great exercise is to stand holding on to something to support you and perform kick outs to the side and straight back. While doing that, keep your leg straight. @YHSMrsMero #PhysicalTherapy #YHSWISE2023

@DrDan_Dpt This is so true! The more challenging the activity is, the more work your muscles are doing. In the end it is only going to make your function better. @YHSMrsMero #physicaltherapy #YHSWISE2023 #WISE

[Isabel Gomes @IsabelGomespt]

When you have a back injury and you attend physical therapy, a great way to apply heat before massaging the area, is to lay on your stomach and let the heat rest on the back without any pressure. @YHSMrsMero #physicaltherapy #YHSWISE2023 #WISE

Here are the bikes we use to help patients with leg or knee injuries. They help to get their range of motion back and even their strength. Some patients will even start on the bikes to get their muscles going before proceeding in the session. @YHSMrsMero #WISE #PhysicalTherapy

[Isabel Gomes @IsabelGomespt]

Here is the arm bike that patients use to bike fowards and backwards. Patients with shoulder, neck and arm injuries will use this to get their muscles going and to build up strength. @YHSMrsMero #WISE #PhysicalTherapy

@CNegrelliWISE @YHSMrsMero This is great! I can’t wait to hear about everything you learn! @YHSMrsMero

[Isabel Gomes @IsabelGomespt]

@GiannaMWISE @YHSMrsMero Wow! I didn’t know that. So you can practice anywhere in the states as long as your licensed? I wonder if PT is like that too. I have to look into that. @YHSMrsMero

@dsalveggiwise @YHSMrsMero This is amazing information Dylan! My little cousin is actually in music therapy and she has autism. You can really see the impact that it has had on her for the better! Keep up the great work!

[Isabel Gomes @IsabelGomespt]

@GiannaMWISE @YHSMrsMero That’s so cool! It’s great to know that PT’s and OT’s work hand in hand! @YHSMrsMero

[Isabel Gomes @IsabelGomespt]

@CNegrelliWISE @YHSMrsMero I’m so proud of you! You are working towards your goals and I can’t wait to see what’s next! @YHSMrsMero

Did you know that when there is arthritis in the hip area, causing the joints to rub and be inflamed then, that will cause pain in the groin area. @YHSMrsMero #WISE #YHSWISE2023 #PhysicalTherapy

[Isabel Gomes @IsabelGomespt]

We all have arthritis in our bodies. Arthritis is when the joints are touching and rubbing together causing the muscles around it to become sore because they are working to help the joint. Therefore the body will hurt to the touch.@YHSMrsMero #WISE #PhysicalTherapy #YHSWISE2023
