Did you know that physical therapy with a Biokineticist can work just as well as surgery for healing tears in the meniscus? 🦿

Depending on the extent of the injury, specialised exercises can help in speeding up the recovery process ✨

The same goes with many other orthopedic injuries - conservative therapy through exercise can help you to avoid surgery, provided that the injury is not severe

Shoulder subluxation / dislocation is a common occurrence, be it from a sports injury, a sudden unusual movement of the joint, or just through normal activities of daily living.

Non-operative treatment of a dislocation would involve 8-12 weeks of strengthening the surrounding muscles of the shoulder complex and forcing range of motion through active and passive stretching - a modality in which we are specialists 🪄

Blood Pressure & Exercise - What is the correlation?

Regular exercise is an effective tool used to lower blood pressure.
In short, exercise strengthens the heart 🫀
A stronger heart can pump more blood with less effort ➡️ decreased force on the arteries ➡️ lower blood pressure

Many people with high blood pressure are apprehensive to exercise in fear of the immediate increase in blood pressure. This is why it is important to exercise under the guidance of a professional to avoid exercises that significantly raise blood pressure, and to monitor your blood pressure during the session.
