Physical Therapists at Bowling Competition

http://www.cardioflextherapy.com/blog/physical-therapists-at-bowling-competition/

CardioFlex Therapy physical and occupational therapists are thrilled to participate in the upcoming Bowling Competition to benefit the Special Olympics of Florida. Special Olympics Florida’s year-round programs in health, education, community building and sports address inactivity, injustice, intolerance and social isolation by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics programs allow athletes to overcome these challenges and give them an opportunity to participate in their community, strengthen their abilities, and become champions! By participating in this and other events, you are helping reach and support more people who want to be a part of life changing programs.

When:
October 20, 2018

Location:
Strikers Bowling Family Center
NW 44th Street
Lauderdale Lakes, FL

Time:
7am – 5pm

Join us at this fun event and support our local Special Olympics of Florida.

Special Olympics and over 5 million athletes are leading the charge for full inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. For 50 years, we have have been building a movement to break down barriers – both on and off the field in health and education – all through the power of sport. As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we launch a 5-year campaign to inspire action and ultimately end discrimination for people with intellectual disabilities. The Revolution Is Inclusion.

The movement is rooted in the spirit of our founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who took a rebellious stand against the injustices faced by people with intellectual disabilities in 1968. Today, the fight for inclusion is more relevant than ever. People of all ages, races, genders, cultures, backgrounds, and abilities continue to face discrimination, ignorance, and disparagement. Just as Eunice Kennedy Shriver did 50 years ago, Special Olympics is setting a stake in the ground to create change, and this time, our athletes are leading the way.

As we continue this movement, Special Olympics will build programming and actively engage people in our movement to create social change.

CardioFlex Therapy sees first hand the positive impact that physical therapy has on cancer survivors, post-surgical and post-radiation patients. Research has found that physical therapy services are more commonly sought out for individuals surviving breast and genitourinary cancers, although it is beneficial to a wide range of cancer survivors. The most common impairments were strength loss and soft tissue dysfunction, both which can be treated at physical therapy clinics. After surgery, patients may experience tightness around the surgical site caused by scar tissue formation. The result can be very dense tissue under the incision, which is painful and can restrict range of motion, and early treatment by a physical therapist can help reduce the pain and help regain functional range of motion and strength.

Join us at this great event and support the American Cancer Society.

Join CardioFlex Therapy for the fun Tough Mudder!

http://www.cardioflextherapy.com/blog/join-cardioflex-therapy-for-the-fun-tough-mudder/

Tough Mudder is a 5 or 10 mile course with obstacles designed to drag you out of your comfort zone. Tough Mudder isn’t about how fast you can cross the finish line, it’s about pushing yourself, about teamwork, camaraderie, and accomplishing something extraordinary. So challenge yourself, escape the ordinary and join our physical therapists in this fun event to benefit the American Liver Foundation. Here are the event details:

When:
October 13-14

Location:
Clear Springs Ranch5020 Cox Rd.
Bartow , FL , 33830

Time:
begins at 9:00 am
Specific time assigned to each participant

Why do we support this event? Because we want to promote education, advocacy, support services and research for the prevention, treatment and cure of liver disease. Liver disease patients are at a greater risk of Sarcopenia as it triggers it, and we develop exercise therapy plans for liver disease patients.  Physical therapists are well-positioned among the health care team to screen for sarcopenia (the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass – 0.5–1% loss per year after the age of 50- , quality, and strength associated with aging) in those with CKD and for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions that may affect functional performance. Given the consequences of both low muscle mass and low bone mineral density, appropriate and timely physical therapy is important for fall risk assessment and intervention to minimize the susceptibility to bone fracture. While strength training has been studied less frequently than aerobic training for the management of secondary CKD conditions, evidence suggests that this patient population benefits from participation in strength training programs, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

In a recent study published April 2015 in the Physical Therapy Journal, researchers found that physical therapy services are more commonly sought out for individuals surviving breast and genitourinary cancers. Researchers sought to find the characteristics of patients with cancer that were referred for outpatient physical therapy and common clinical findings. Over the course of two years, data from 418 patients were analyzed. Genitourinary and breast cancers were the most common types of cancer in their sample. The most common impairments were strength loss and soft tissue dysfunction. Lymphedema was the most common issue for people with breast cancer and incontinence was the most common complaint for people that had genitourinary cancers. They also noted that pain and high fatigue levels were prevalent in individuals that had undergone radiation therapy. This study shows that therapy services are being utilized for individuals that have survived cancer, particularly breast and genitourinary cancer. However, this study also suggests that a large portion of cancer survivors are not seeking out rehabilitation services, even though they would likely find it highly beneficial.

According to the European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, post-mastectomy physical therapy ‘widely improves’ a patient’s quality of life. After mastectomy surgery, patients may experience tightness around the surgical site caused by scar tissue formation. The result can be very dense tissue under the incision, which is painful and can restrict range of motion. The restricted range of motion puts women at risk for a painful condition known as Frozen Shoulder. Early treatment by a physical therapist can help reduce the pain and help regain functional range of motion and strength.

The good news is that it is never too late to utilize rehabilitation services for cancer recovery. If you find that you are having trouble accomplishing daily tasks or functioning at your prior level of independence, seek out a rehabilitation expert and regain your vitality.

Physical Therapists Walk to End Alzheimer’s

The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is the world’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. CardioFlex Therapy is proud to participate and support this great cause as we see the effects it has in our community and their loved ones.

Many studies have shown that exercise is beneficial for people with Alzheimer’s disease. Along with cardiovascular fitness, increased endurance, and improved strength, people with Alzheimer’s disease get added benefits from exercising.

Benefits of regular exercises in people with Alzheimer’s disease include maintenance of motor skills, decreased falls, and reduced rate of disease associated with mental decline. Improved behavior, improved memory, and better communication skills are a few other benefits associated with routine exercise programs in Alzheimer’s disease.

“Flexibility, balance, and strength exercises have been studied in patients with Alzheimer’s disease versus medical management alone. At the end of the study, the patients who were treated with both exercise and medical management were less depressed than those in the other group and showed marked improvements in their physical functioning.” according to VeryWellHealth.

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and the only cause of death among the top 10 in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed.  All funds raised through Walk to End Alzheimer’s further the mission of Alzheimer’s Association:  to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. For more information on the upcoming walk, contact Joel Robinson at 9547861533.
