Welcome our Newest Tennis Professional, Cassidy Spearman! 

“I grew up playing tennis in Southern California and continued onto the University of Missouri, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Strategic Communication. I love to travel and spent the year after I graduated traveling around different areas of the world. I have ventured to over 20 countries in 4 different continents. 

Throughout my tennis journey I was able to accomplish many different accolades. With a sound high school and junior career, it allowed for me to continue on to play at Mizzou achieving a successful collegiate career. Playing tennis in the SEC was an incredible experience and spurred me into my coaching career. I was previously coaching for the University of Iowa women’s tennis, and now I am the assistant coach for DePaul’s women’s tennis. Go Blue Demons!” – Coach Cassidy 

Tennis Courtesy Policy Reminder! 

Please keep the following courtesy policies in mind when using the tennis courts at LSF! 

  1. Avoid walking through other member’s courts when they are playing.
  2. Use the catwalk to access tennis courts #1-4.
  3. Only enter your court for your lesson or rental at the time that it begins. Lessons and classes will start picking up 3 minutes prior to the end of the program to ensure a smooth transition.
  4. Please make sure to tidy up the bench area of towels and cups after play to leave the courts looking great for our other members!

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Group Fitness and Yoga Studio Etiquette Reminders 

To contribute to a safe, healthy and positive experience for all please …

  • Be on time and stay until the end of class
  • Keep cell phones on silent or out of the room
  • Keep personal belongings stored in lockers
  • Store shoes outside of yoga studio 
  • Refrain from personal conversation during class
  • Put away equipment and towels, wipe away sweat and leave your area clean

What is Your Core?

We always hear about “core strength” but what does this really mean? People often have the perception that the core is only made up of your abdominal muscles.   It is actually the sturdy link in a chain connecting your upper and lower body.  By working on pure rectus abdominis strength (sit ups, for example) you are not really working on core strength and could potentially even add stress to your spine.  The core has three-dimensional depth and functional movement in all three planes.  In addition to the superficial rectus abdominis and gluteals, the core also includes deeper muscles (transversus abdominis, multifidis, obliques, diaphragm and pelvic floor).  These muscles all work together as a stabilizer unit and force transfer center, rather than a prime mover.   We can start to achieve core stability in static movements (plank) then progress to more dynamic patterns (single leg dead lift).  Bridging is a common core stabilization exercise that can be modified from very basic to advanced.  Keeping the body’s stabilizer muscles strong will not only improve your athletic performance, but it will help in life’s everyday tasks. Bending, reaching and twisting are movements we do every day and without adequate stability of the core, issues such low back, hip or knee pain can occur.  If you have any questions about your strength or core stability, please contact Lakeshore Physical Therapy or visit our website to learn more about our services at www.lakeshore-pt.com.    Illinois Center: 312- 801-8440, Lincoln Park: 773-770-2419

At the end of the session prizes are given out to the top 3 players in each level. Our Fall Session of Flex League starts on Monday, September 3rd and will run for 10 weeks.  

The Flex League is $239 which includes court time, new tennis balls for every match and league administration.  We are currently looking for tennis players ranging from 2.6-5.0! Contact Evan at EvanL@LakeshoreSF.com for more information! 

Interested in learning Tennis? Join Intro to Tennis for Adults! 

Our Intro to Tennis for Adults class is perfect for beginners! For the Fall session we will be offering Intro to Tennis classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7-8pm as well as Saturdays from 1-2pm.

Coming up alongside Tennis and Golf – Here Come’s Pickleball

A new favorite pastime among Baby Boomers, Pickleball, combines elements of badminton, tennis and ping-pong.  Its strong appeal started with older adults because of the smaller court, lower net, and slower ball speed.  The rules are fairly straight forward and easy to learn (see the Lakeshore Physical Therapy blog for the rule overview at:

http://lakeshore-pt.blogspot.com/ ).  Over the past decade, the Pickleball craze is taking hold at all age levels and even being introduced to teenagers in physical education classes and as an intramural sport on college campuses.  According to the USA Pickle Ball Association (USAPA), the sport has seen a 650% increase in numbers over the past six years.  It is a great family sport that can involve multi generations.  It can be played as singles or doubles, indoors or out.  The wooden paddle and ball are fairly affordable.  All of these factors make the sport’s future strong.

Lakeshore Sport & Fitness is planning an Intro to Pickleball class on Sundays in the fall of 2019.  Please contact LPRacquet@LakeshoreSF.com for more information.  As always Lakeshore Physical Therapy is conveniently located on the catwalk for you with injury questions or concerns.  www.lakeshore-pt.com

Pre and Postpartum Care at Lakeshore Physical Therapy

Many physical changes happen to a woman’s body during pregnancy and quite often the expertise of a physical therapist is a solid resource.   More than two-thirds of women experience low back pain during pregnancy.  It is common, but treatable, with a PT program of proper body mechanics, posture education, manual therapy, stretching and stabilization exercises.  Other pre and postpartum issues that are successfully treated in physical therapy are pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, diastasis recti, wrist/ hand pain, abdominal weakness, and neck pain. Pregnancy is a time of change for the body and the changes occur rapidly.  Lakeshore Physical Therapy has experienced physical therapists to evaluate and treat the musculoskeletal conditions that commonly occur during all phases of pregnancy.  Feel free to call us at 773-770-2419 (LP) or 312-801-8440 (IC) to schedule an evaluation and stay pain free during and after pregnancy.

6 Benefits of CBD Oil Massage with the Spa@IC
CBD Oil is most commonly known to help with pain inflammation, and anxiety, leading to it becoming one of the most popular ingredients in therapeutic oils and alternative medicines. So, what’s the difference between a CBD Oil Massage and a regular massage? The massage itself is just like any other massage but your therapist will focus on a target area that you specify and where the skin is the thinnest. This allows the oil to be absorbed into your blood stream as the massage therapist activates the area. Worried about getting that “high”? Don’t worry, our CBD Oil does not contain THC – the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Specifically, there are 6 additional benefits of CBD oil massage:

  • Helps your body relax
  • Helps with recovery
  • Releases tension
  • Stress relief
  • Pain management
  • Ease sore muscles

Try it and find out for yourself, and book your CBD Oil Massage with the Spa@IC by contacting ICSpa@LakeshoreSF.com

Make the Most of Side Stepping with Lakeshore Physical Therapy!

Weakness of the hip abductors is quite common and often present with hip impingement, iliotibial band syndrome, patellofemoral syndrome and chronic ankle sprains.  One popular hip abductor strengthening exercise is side stepping with a resistive band. It is important to note that muscle activity of the gluteus medius (gathered via electromyograph) is higher in the squat posture compared to the upright posture.  The muscle activity is also higher in the stance leg than the moving leg. 

When performing the exercise, try to squat and maintain the squat position while side stepping for the best glute workout.  View the full research article here:  https://www.jospt.org/doi/pdf/10.2519/jospt.2015.5888

Children Must be Supervised

LSF is the best place around for kids and families!   We love to be the place for children to not only take part in our great programs, but also be a place for them to exercise their independence.  However, it is important to note that children under high school aged must be in a supervised program with LSF.  Club 48 (4th-8th Graders with the Club 48 Membership) are only allowed to be in the club alone during Club 48 hours.  All other children must be with a parent and supervised.  Please talk with your children about behavior and etiquette as to not disturb other members trying to enjoy their experience.

SKIP THE SCRIPT! Simply Call Lakeshore Physical Therapy for an Evaluation

Did you know that you no longer need a referral from a doctor for physical therapy?

As of August 2018, our Illinois state law allows patients to directly schedule a physical therapy appointment without having to see their doctor first.  This will save you valuable time and money on your road to recovery.  If you are experiencing limitations in mobility, pain with your regular activities, or an injury preventing you from continuing your daily routine, call to schedule an evaluation with one of our experienced orthopedic specialists today!

Our Very First Basketball Camp was a Hit!

This summer we launched our first basketball camp for kids 6-13 years old, led by Coach Velvet and Coach Julius. The week long camp focused on development and strengthening each camper’s basketball skills through fun games and drills, NBA skills challenge and of course, scrimmages. As a result, each camper left the week better than when they arrived. Campers also had an opportunity to design their own basketball shoe, swim daily and build lasting friendships. Our next basketball camp will be held July 29th – August 2nd. For more information or to enroll, email LPCamp@LakeshoreSF.com
