Just for You

What is Manual Therapy?

Manual therapy is a term for a clinical approach utilizing skilled, specific, hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries by the physical therapists at Lakeshore Physical Therapy. The term includes a variety of techniques such as joint mobilization (passive physiological movement of joints), soft tissue mobilization, muscle energy techniques, traction, and passive range of motion. Joint mobilization stretches the surrounding muscles, ligaments and the joint capsule, which helps restore normal joint mobility. During injury, a joint may become stiff and require mobilization to allow remodeling of the capsular tissue. Manual therapy can also be a useful tool to decrease pain. Muscle energy techniques decrease muscle guarding, tightness, and spasm, thereby reducing pain. Traction is an effective, specific technique to take pressure off vertebral discs and eliminate pressure on the nerves. Lastly, passive range of motion is a technique performed by a therapist to move a joint through the range without effort from the patient, which improves joint function. Exercises are extremely beneficial after these manual therapy techniques are performed to maintain the improvements made.

Why Manual Therapy? The answer is simple – it’s proven to get you better, faster.

Manual therapy is one of the corner stones of physical therapy care at Lakeshore Physical Therapy and each of our therapists is highly qualified to perform these skilled techniques as part of our treatment. For more info, please call 773-770-2419-LP or 312-801-8440-IC.

Lakeshore Physical Therapy – Tendon vs. Ligament?

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a tendon and ligament?

A tendon is fibrous connective tissue, which attaches muscle to bone. Tendons allow for movement between the muscle and bone. The healing process for a torn tendon is a long process that requires adequate medical attention. People with a torn tendon will feel severe pain, swelling, and burning local to the injury site. The strongest tendon in the body is the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the heel bone, otherwise known as the calcaneus. A tendon tear usually occurs during a quick dynamic movement; however tendonitis is frequently seen with repetitive activity.

A ligament is fibrous connective tissue, which attaches bone to bone. Ligaments help to keep a structure stable. Injuries to ligaments most frequently occur during athletic activity. One of the most common ligament injuries is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). If you tear a ligament, medical attention is necessary to determine if the ligament is fully or partially torn and to help guide your further plan of care. For other questions on tendons or ligaments, please contact us at Lakeshore Physical Therapy or stop by one of our clinics located within Lakeshore Sport & Fitness.

Learn to Box

A boxing workout must ensure that boxers and fitness enthusiast are capable of 100% physical and mental effort – round after round – in combat and in daily life. That is no small feat. Physically that means that boxing workouts must develop strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, endurance, stamina, and balance. This in turns torches fat, burns calories and accelerates results. Mentally that means that boxing workouts must develop resiliency and durability, nerve, superior hand-eye coordination, and the analytic aptitude that facilitates instant decision making in high stress situations.

If you are looking to change up your current fitness routine by adding boxing as part of your repertoire contact ICPT360@LakeshoreSF.com

Speedball Special Event Master Class at Illinois Center

We are excited to bring Celebrity Instructor and Creator of Speedball, Steve Feinberg, to teach a one-time special event Master Class on Saturday December 5th at 11am. Speedball is a cardiovascular and muscular endurance class – incorporating a medicine ball as a resistance tool – with a focus on multidirectional/multi-planar movement and functional core stabilization. Choreography is based on principles drawn from martial arts & boxing, traditional medicine ball movements, functional conditioning drills, and dance. The Speedball format progresses in a defined sequence with multiple levels of difficulty, so that students with a range of abilities can enjoy the class simultaneously.

Starting in January 2016, we will offer this class on our regular schedule at both Lincoln Park and Illinois Center locations. We invite members from both location to attend and to bring a guest to experience this amazing class.
