In 1999 my husband passed away unexpectedly and I was in need of a way to provide for myself and my children. I knew I was interested in a career in the medical field. At the end of my degree study at Gillette College, my advisor gave me an application for the PTA program at Central Wyoming Community College. The idea of being a PTA was exciting. I enjoy working with people and making a difference in a person's quality of life.

Winter is coming - make sure your body is ready!
If you’re one of those stiff, sore individuals who find yourself getting stiffer and stiffer towards winter, as well as the standard adjustments for weather and chill, physical therapy can relieve the pains of stiff muscles and joints, to keep you out of bed and out of pain.
Pain can be minimized with the help of some treatments like exercising often, drinking plenty of water, wearing thermal clothes and attending physical therapy. Such a move keeps your body warm and does not tighten up your muscles.
Non-specific problems like swollen joints and cramps can worsen in winter because cold cuts off blood supply to muscle and nerve systems in the joints. This is an easy exercise for physical therapists to recommend individualised stretching and muscle heating or massages for such pains, as movement – stretching the limbs and pressing tissues – can relieve the tension.
Stretching should be part of any behaviour change programme aimed at alleviating and avoiding some of the soreness that we suffer in winter. So, for instance, stretch hamstring or shoulder, which will make you flexible and not be stiff when it’s cold outside. You can learn from your physical therapist which stretches to do, and how often.
The more personalized it is, based on your goals and situation, the more successful your program will be. Your physical therapist will create your programme specifically for you, based on your unique body, including the areas where you’re at most risk of aches and pains in the colder, dryer months of winter. Let North Platte Physical Therapy help you take care of your body this winter!
There’s also physical therapy for aching muscles during the winter months, and tailored exercises designed to increase flexibility, strength and blood flow, and prevent injury by improving joint stability.
An individualised workout plan of strength, balance and cardiovascular conditioning takes the place of an injury to prevent muscle damage in its tracks. Every other day, at the end of a dark winter, there’s an appointment for physical-therapy, a sign of spring.
After it snows, just imagine having to live with this pain until spring or maybe until next winter. Suppose you had a plan that would make you less sore and have more of a life (being able to hike, swim, play with the kids, etc) during the cold months. That plan you’d embrace, right?

Physical Therapy Services: Modalities Beyond Massage
Depending on pain symptoms or injury type, there are often multiple treatment patterns which can be implemented to address the issue. Physical therapy allows for an abundance of measures to attack each problem area specifically with individualized applications, making it one of the most efficient and effective ways to rehabilitate the human body. Being able to address an injury through multiple treatment patterns also often allows patients to enjoy a quicker recovery and sustainability as they return to everyday activities.
More than one in five Americans experiences chronic pain, making treatment for these issues a priority. While most individuals are familiar with massage, its usage and multiple benefits, there are also a variety of other options pain sufferers can implement to garner some relief. Seeking the help of a physical therapist is essential as they can develop a plan specifically to address the needs of each individual patient, helping those in need to regain control of their lives.
Hypervolt Percussion Therapy
The use of a Hypervolt device typically relates to muscle injuries and allows physical therapists to target a particular area and vibrate the muscles. This not only increases blood flow to the injured area, but it also allows for the muscles to expand naturally, helping alleviate pain or any other discomfort.
Infrared Light Therapy
These devices utilize light to effectively treat areas with bad circulation, commonly occurring muscle spasms, or unusual inflammation. For those suffering discomfort who may be prone to pain through percussion therapy, the utilization of infrared light is certainly a useful alternative.
Kinesiotaping
It seems athletes have always used tape to help with support, prevent injuries, or assist when there is a sprain or strain potentially present. These taping methods have allowed for many athletes to continue playing and kinesiotaping is an evolution of this practice. This specialized adhesive not only offers support and protection for athletes, but it can also reduce swelling after repetitive use of a particular muscle or joint.
Electrical Nerve Stimulation
A tens unit is also useful for physical therapists as they utilize low voltage currents to aid in treating a variety of different ailments. Typically used for pain relief, the implementation of a tens unit allows the area of discomfort to be targeted for specific relief. Most commonly applied to back or knee pain, the tens unit is another useful tool for those who may be suffering from chronic or even short-term pain.
If you have suffered an injury or know someone who has chronic pain, could use assistance with mobility issues, or is seeking services for another reason, then consider reaching out to the physical therapy experts at North Platte Physical Therapy, Monument Physical Therapy, Big Country Rehabilitation, and Bear Lodge Rehabilitation today. Offering 18 different locations across Wyoming and Nebraska, our professional staff are ready and willing to help administer and create a personalized plan of action specific to your needs. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us today. Available for all of your physical therapy and related offerings, we look forward to meeting you and providing the type of service you can rely on to help improve your overall wellness very soon!
