Dry Needling

Posted by: PinnaclePerformance on September 4, 2014
Now included in the scope of practice for licensed physical therapists in Utah
 
Last week, Utah finalized a law that allows physical therapists to perform trigger point dry needling.
Trigger points are essentially painful “knots” that affect the muscle’s ability to efficiently perform, and often create referral patterns of pain elsewhere in the body. Dry needling is the practice of using an acupuncture needle to release those tight bands of muscle. It is different than acupuncture in where and why the needles are placed. Acupuncturists use energetic meridian lines in order to move qi through the body, while physical therapists place the needles directly into
the “knot” of muscle in order to release and reset the muscle. The needle often causes a muscle cramping sensation, but the needle is typically only in the muscle for less than a few minutes. The immediate change in joint range of motion, decreased pain, and muscle performance is often dramatic.
Dry needling can boost the effects of the excellent muscular stability training that you are already doing at Pinnacle. Our physical therapist neighbors in Colorado have been doing dry needling for the last 8 years, and their patients have been raving about the profound effects that they have experienced. Jenn Pine, DPT just finished an intensive dry needling training and is performing dry needling at the clinic. Amy Broekemeier, DPT plans to take a course in November.
Please contact the front desk if you are interested in a dry needling session with Jenn Pine DPT.

Feldenkrais

Posted by: PinnaclePerformance on February 21, 2014

A Feldenkrais Method class
Breathe Again
Mondays 7-8 PM for 8 weeks

After the inversions and red air days, our lungs are hurting. Shallower breath leads to anxiety and lower energy. Get your full energy back, and feel more energized. Start off your Spring with more focus, more resilience, better health, and more mental clarity. Feel smarter, more athletic, calmer, and sleep better.

This is a Feldenkrais Method class. It will be very gentle, fun and effective. If you can make it into the building to class, you are strong enough to benefit. Bring a large towel or small blanket. Dress in soft, warm clothes- we will not be working outso you can be comfortable resting quietly or moving.

Dan Schmidt is a Feldenkrais practitioner. He has been teaching and doing hands on work with people for over 20 years.  Healthy breathing is a passion for him.Screen Shot 2014-02-19 at 9.31.47 AM

You can see video of him teaching by clicking on the link below  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s35au-pURHk

You can learn more about his approach by visiting  http://somadan.com/

Class is $150 prepaid for 8 weeks or $25 drop in (if space permits)

If you have concerns or would like to reserve a spot
please call Dan at 801-694-4086.

Red Cross Stories featuring our Bre!

Posted by: PinnaclePerformance on December 10, 2013

Screen Shot 2013-12-10 at 11.38.46 AM

A little over three years ago Bre Dumke’s life was saved by her best friend Julie. Bre fell some 70 feet while hiking in Colorado’s Sangre de Cristos range. The road to recovery led Bre to her Pilates certification and a perspective of hope that she shares with her clients at Pinnacle. When asked, Bre will say that she runs everyday because she can. A glimpse at an event that changed her life forever.

Physical Therapy For Knee Pain Shown to be as Effective as Surgery

Posted by: PinnaclePerformance on March 19, 2013

Manual Physical Therapy with Shawnee HawsA study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented this week by its author to a conference of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons found that physical therapy can be as effective in treating a torn meniscus (a cartilage disc in the knee) as arthroscopic surgery when comparing results after a 6-month period. It should go without saying that PT is considerably less expensive than surgery, as well. If the medical journal is a little dense for you, here’s a summary from the AP by way of the Salt Lake Tribune.

The AP article quotes Rachelle Buchbinder, an expert on preventative medicine at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, as saying she  feels that the study should prompt a change in practice for physicians. She is further quoted as saying that PT should be the first approach for an injury to the meniscus, with invasive surgery reserved for the minority of patients who do not respond to therapy.

This study backs up the experience of the clinicians at Pinnacle, but it’s always nice to have the data on your side.
