Physical Therapists mesh sociability with rehab
Laura Cooper, the clinic’s director of physical therapy, wants it to be warm and inviting — a world removed from a traditional clinic setting, which she says can be “a little bit more cold, sterile and impersonal.” Building community among physical therapy patients and creating a more inviting atmosphere for patients is a growing emphasis among some of Central Oregon’s clinics. Local therapists believe going through rehabilitation with fellow patients leads to a faster, more effective recovery. 
Padgett back on D-1 path after life-threatening blood clot
The Padgett family said her recovery wouldn't have been possible without Dr. Bents and the tremendous work of Dybdahl to get her back into playing shape in less than nine months even through her blood clot scare. Having seen her future flash before her eyes and get another chance at it, like an inside fastball, Skylar isn't letting another opportunity pass by.
Eliminate Pain With a Bike Fitting
Bike fitting focuses on the cyclist’s contact points on the bike—foot and pedal interface, saddle, and stem and handlebars—and includes a thorough assessment of the cyclist’s body and cycling biomechanics, including videos from the front, side and back. Functional tests should include walking, jogging, single leg squat, balance, etc. A clinical fitter (i.e physical therapist, chiropractor, etc.) may include other tests appropriate for the clinical setting to assess current and prior injuries, neural involvement, joint integrity, range of motion, soft tissue restrictions and the cyclist’s boney architecture.
If You’re New to Maximalist Shoes, Start With Minimal Mileage
When the barefoot running and minimalist shoe trend was at its peak, curious runners were advised to transition gradually to more stripped-down footwear. Now it seems that same caution is warranted if you’re moving in the other direction, from traditional trainers to the mega-cushioned models known as maximalist shoes, according to new research.
‘Maximal’ Running Shoes May Increase Injury Risk to Some Runners
Lower leg pain and injuries have long been a problem for runners, but research at Oregon State University-Cascades has shown that one type of running shoe may increase such risks for some runners.
