Our Patients Get Great Results

“My experience with Soliel Physical Therapy has been excellent. The staff is skilled, caring, and very dedicated to their patients. Due to an extended period of sling use and immobility after a shoulder fracture, I did not have much hope of regaining proper use of my arm, but after being a patient of Soleil, I now see steady improvement in the use of my arm, and much less pain. I have the utmost confidence and respect for the staff. The facility is clean and very well run. They care and are outstanding in their field. I highly recommend them for your needs.”

How Physical Therapy Can Help You Be Ready This Spring

Sports

Being able to practice the sport you love, whether competitively or just for fun, is essential. Sports provide a way for you to get physical activity while having fun. Your heart rate rises, your blood gets flowing, your muscles get the workout that they need.

Many sports injuries are caused by not training in the off-season or trying to do too much too soon. Improper training and conditioning can resurface old injuries and contribute to new injuries starting. Our physical therapists can help you implement effective strategies to prevent sports injuries this season.

A few common sports injuries that physical therapy can treat include:

Ligament sprains
Muscle strains
Overuse injuries (i.e., tendonitis, joint pain)
Cartilage tears

It doesn’t matter if you play golf, softball, lacrosse, swim, baseball, or another sport. Our physical therapists at Soleil Physical Therapy & Wellness Inc can help you get in shape and be prepared for the season. We can also guide you to recover from past injuries that may not have adequately healed.

Here are some excellent activities that can get you in shape and help you get back to playing the sports you love this season!

Biking

Biking is a fun activity people enjoy as it warms up outside. Whether you are riding on the road or the trails, biking can prove to be difficult if you’re suffering from injuries that have not healed or chronic pain conditions that restrict your mobility.

If you haven’t been on a bicycle for several years, you can start out riding just a few times each week. The great thing about biking is that you can go as slow or as fast as you’re able. Riding a bicycle will not only keep you active, even 15 or 20 minutes twice a week is a good start.

A physical therapist can show you the best way to ride the type of bike you own. Our physical therapists can help to mobilize your joints, build up strength and improve your endurance so you can continue taking those long bike rides through the park, mountains, or city streets! Having the proper fit can ensure you spend time enjoying the ride instead of recovering from an injury.

Running

One of the best activities to get in shape or decompress from stress is running. Unfortunately, new and old runners alike will experience injuries that prevent them from putting in the miles. Too often, runners ignore their injuries or don’t resolve them entirely, only to worsen or develop a new problem.

While running may be your chosen spring activity, it certainly can be hard on the body, and without proper guidance, you may find yourself unable to run at all. That’s why participating in a regular physical therapy routine at Soleil Physical Therapy & Wellness Inc is such a good idea.

If you’re having difficulty running at the same levels of speed or distances that you’re used to, it’s a sign you should see a physical therapist ASAP for care. We’ll make sure your muscles are strong, and your plan for training is sound. We can help make sure your joint health is up to par before you hit the trails this season.
