PATIENT SPOTLIGHT

“OnetoOne Physical Therapy is a top-notch facility. After three back surgeries, physical therapy is nothing new to me. My experience at OnetoOne was completely different thanotherfacilities.Thestaff isalwayswarmandfriendly, makingyoufeelathomethemomentyouwalk inthedoor. MyfirstdayatOnetoOne Iwasstiff, inpainandhadtrouble limbering up. Mornings were the worst and I literally dreaded getting out of bed. Not long after working with the Physical Therapy Team at OnetoOne I am able to get out of bed with minimal pain. It no longer took hours to limber up. I can get out of bed and happily walk my dog without any issues. The staff patiently taught me the exercises so I can now maintain everything I worked on at home. I would recommend OnetoOne to anybody in need of Physical Therapy services.” - Dana Colman “I am able to get out of bed with minimal pain.”

It’s Time To Stand Up To Sciatica Sciatica pain can cause you to miss out on life. Don’t let it keep you on the sidelines. One to One is here to help!

Doyouexperiencepain inthebuttock, thigh or even your leg? You may be experiencing sciatica. Sciatica is a common form of back and leg pain that is often misunderstood by sufferers. If you are suffering from sciatica it is important to find the root cause of the low back pain and leg pain. Thiswillquicklyandcorrectly relieve the pain. Having a lot of tests doesn’t mean you will find the root cause. Recent studies show that nearly 1 million of MRIs done for sciatica fail to find a treatable cause. With a new imaging technique called magnetic resonance neurography, 69% of the patients were found to have a trapped sciatic nerve deep in the buttock by a muscle called the piriformis. It is known that in about 25% of the general population, the sciatic nerve pierces through

the piriformis muscle and can be susceptible to abnormal pressure and irritation. This can lead to piriformis syndrome, which is the most common cause of sciatica.

Attention Seniors and Baby Boomers Back By Request.. Balance and Fall Prevention Workshop

HealingHands.CaringHearts.

• Have you fallen in the past? • Are you afraid of falling? • Has your balance become more unsteady?

• Has your walking become more difficult? • Have you started using a cane or walker recently? (Or have been told to... but are resisting?)

Balance and Fall Prevention Workshop Reveals How To Prevent Falls And Improve Your Balance.

Hello,

As you get older your balance naturally begins to get worse. I see this every day and it can completely ruin your quality of life. • You start to hold on to furniture when you walk • You start to walk slower and constantly look at the floor • You avoid going out of the house whenever possible • You become more reliant on family members, often making you feel guilty about being a burden • You are no longer able to enjoy life (go out with family/friends, take vacation etc.)

And the more you avoid doing these things the more fearful you become that you will fall. This can become a self fulfilling prophecy!

Plus, the more you avoid moving...the more likely you are to experience depression, increased stress, muscle weakness, difficulty walking...and a host of other medical issues.

Here at One To One Physical Therapy & Aquatics, our Balance and Fall prevention specialists have helped 100’s of people from right here in the neighborhood improve their balance and get back to doing the things they love...it’s what we do. So by request, we’re hosting Balance and Fall Prevention Workshops at One To One Physical Therapy & Aquatics:

March 21st • 4pm Delray Clinic

March 23rd • 4pm Boca Clinic

If you’re confused about what to do and are looking for answers... here’s some of what you’ll learn:

• Who is most at risk of falling • The 5 most common reasons people fall • Quick do-it-yourself Balance tests to determine your risk of falling

• How medications can INCREASE your risk of falling • Where is the most common location for falls in the home • What you can do to make your home safer TODAY • What is the best assistive device (cane walker etc.) for YOU How Do I Register for the Balance and Fall Prevention Workshop? Call Delray: 561-496-5144 or Boca Raton: 561-939-2033

We only have 25 seats available for the event...and this will be going out in our monthly newsletter, as well as our postcards, so spots will fill up fast!
