National AT Month 2014!

March is National Athletic Training Month, sponsored by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA).

At HD Physical Therapy, one of our therapists, Svet Wilson, PTA, ATC/L, is a licensed physical therapist assistant, as well as a licensed and certified athletic trainer. Combining his years of education and experience in both disciplines has allowed Svet to become an expert sports medicine clinician; he is highly skilled in preventing, recognizing, managing and rehabilitating injuries that result from athletics and other physical activity.

“For me, each field supports the other, and combining them creates the best possible scenario for the patient or athlete that I am working with,” said Wilson. “By merging the best of both, people are given the highest quality of care, and achieve the best outcomes possible.”

The Quick Board at HDPT!

HD Physical Therapy is excited to help more patients with a new treatment system - The Quick Board.

The Quick Board is a state-of-the-art diagnostic and training system used by professional, college and amateur athletes to aid in athletic training, testing and rehabilitation – both physical and neurological. It provides physical therapists a way to quickly capture valid, accurate data to help them track training progress, test for overtraining and make objective decisions. Its high impact sensors track each time someone makes contact with a specific part of the board, and real-time results are transferred to a visible control panel, like an iPad, for easy and objective evaluation.

“The Quick Board is a very unique, interactive tool. I can use it for anything - ankles, knees, shoulders core strengthening, lumbar stability, etc. It challenges patients in a way they never have been challenged before, testing their agility, reaction time, balance and quickness,” said HDPT therapist, Melrose resident Svet Wilson, PTA, ATC. “We can even out deficiencies; unlike with a typical ladder drill, I can actually see the discrepancy between two sides and immediately adjust our program. Plus, using the iPad, patients can also visualize their own progression and can compare their scores. They can check themselves, and I can continuously check myself as a therapist,” said Wilson.

The Quick Board can:

·   Enhance and shorten the rehabilitation process and assist with critical sports medicine evaluations and decisions such as "return to play" with objective, real-time data.

·      Deliver baseline scores on speed, agility and reaction drills to compare pre- and post-injury data, track daily progress, and evaluate the effectiveness of your rehabilitation program.

·      Restore pre-injury communication between the brain and the injured body part - neurological rehabilitation. This is a critical advancement in therapy, as sports medicine professionals have found that even after athletes have returned to pre-injury strength and range of motion, they may suffer from a neurological deficit, which increases the risk of another injury.

·      Enable our therapists to better determine whether a patient is favoring a non-injured body part during recovery. The Quick Board’s sensors track when an athlete doesn’t fully use an injured side of the body. This type of overcompensation can cause athletes to favor their healthy, non-injured legs, which can lead to additional injuries.

HD PHYSICAL THERAPY TO TAKE THE POLAR PLUNGE

HD PHYSICAL THERAPY TO TAKE THE POLAR PLUNGE

Wakefield/Rotary District 7930 is holding its 4th Annual Polar Plunge on Saturday, February 1, at 11:00am, on Long Beach in Gloucester, right in front of the Cape Ann Motor Inn.

This year's HD Physical Therapy Team plungers include Wakefield Rotary Club member Ed Harding, along with rookie jumpers, HDPT co-founder Glenn D'Addario, MSPT, DPT, and staff members, Svet Wilson, PTA, ATC, Robbie Barletta, PTA, Marilena Lobrutto, Katie Crowley & Becca Marrama!

TEAM HDPT’s fundraising goal is $3000, with the Wakefield Rotary’s cash donation goal being $10,000, to aid in the district’s goal of raising $100,000.

Team captain, plunger Ed explains, “for as little as 60 cents worth of an oral vaccine, a child can be protected from the disease for life. The plunge event is fun for everyone, but the real money we raise directly translates to thousands of vaccines. It is an amazing feeling to know that we have a hand in preventing a crippling disease from affecting children.”

In 2012, 429 million children were vaccinated against polio, with less then 300 cases reported. That figure represents a decline of more then 60% from 2011.

Since 1985, Polio has become the signature cause for Rotary International, with the mission to eradicate it from the world entirely. More than a billion dollars has been raised between Rotary clubs world wide, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. When Rotary took on the battle against this disease more then 350,000 people spanning 125 countries were impacted. Today there are three countries left where it has not been eradicated, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria.

Support TEAM HDPT and the Wakefield/District 7930 Rotary Club’s plan to eradicate polio in our lifetime. Pledge today and come watch them all take the plunge!

#Movember 2013 - FINAL

#MOVEMBER - FINAL PICS!!!

The end of Movember has finally come. Check out our final pics!!

Why is Movember so important? One of the biggest obstacles men tackle in regards to general well-being, is a reluctance to discuss health issues they face either with their partner, family or doctor. Movember was born from recognition that a fun and engaging initiative could help encourage men to become more actively involved in their own health. Movember aims to increase awareness and support for men's health by getting conversations started at a grassroots level, educating men about the health risks they face and raising vital funds for support programs.

There is still time to donate:
