Look at that shoulder range of motion! 👀

Let me tell you a little bit about Terry…

He had to make quite the commute to PT but always showed up early to his appointments and ready to work. 🚘

Halfway through his shoulder rehab, Terry went on vacation. Instead of coming back to PT with lost gains, he returned with more motion because he stayed consistent to his home program. 🫵

When Terry had the mobility and strength to do simple tasks, he wasn’t satisfied. He had the goal of being able to get on the golf course with no restrictions. And guess what…he did. ⛳️

So excited of all the progress Terry made after shoulder surgery! Proud to be his PT.

💫 Piriformis Syndrome Rehab Options

🔹 Piriformis Syndrome can manifest as localized pain in the glute region as well as nerve symptoms down the leg. Since low back pain can present in a similar pattern, the lumbar spine should be cleared before attention to the piriformis muscle itself.

🔸 Why can piriformis syndrome cause nerve like symptoms? The reason is that the sciatic nerve travels underneath the piriformis in most individuals and actually through the muscle in some (7-21% of the population). A constant or frequent compression of the sciatic nerve can result in irritation and inflammation that manifests as burning, tingling, or numbness like sensations, aka sciatica.

🔹 So, lets say that you have been assessed by a skilled professional and the piriformis has been identified as the cause of the symptoms. How do we treat it? Sure, stretching can help mobilize the muscle but that doesn’t usually fix the underlying problem. It has been found that these individuals present with greater internal rotation and adduction forces with single leg activities. Therefore, a reasonable approach is to strengthen the abductors and external rotators of the hip along with re-education of hip/pelvic kinematics.

🔸 As symptoms subside and strength improves, a gradual return to functional activities can take place with the ultimate goal of returning the patient to previous level of function.

Hope this helps!

$We are so excited to be sharing this patient’s comeback story! After a skiing accident resulted in a humerus (arm) fracture, Jessica came to us ready to put in the work. She was consistent, dedicated and focused on her physical therapy which ended up in her making incredible progress. We’re so proud of the work Jessica put in throughout her PT. Excellent outcomes come from an excellent relationship between the patient and the therapist and Jessica absolutely crushed it! #shoulderrehab #humerusfracture #choosept #successstory #madisonalabama taken in Madison, Alabama by @dr.jack.dockery$
