Patient Spotlight- Javi

One of the most rewarding parts of our job as physical therapists is getting to watch our patients get back to doing what they love after an injury.

You may remember seeing Javi on our Facebook page working on his upper body strength last January. Javi put in some serious effort with Ila and Kirsten at Family Physical Therapy, and then transitioned to our sister clinic, Next Level  Performance and Sports Therapy for some sport-specific training to help get him back to his love for MMA. 

We love getting to see our patients getting back to their sports and recreational activities after an injury, so when Javi invited us to watch his return to MMA, we couldn't pass it up!

Over the weekend, Ila and Kirsten headed over to The Panda Cup to watch some awesome Brazilian Jiu jitsu, Pankration, and mixed martial arts competition.

Nothing could make us happier than seeing his smile when he won his first fight after putting in some serious hard work to come back from his injury.

Myofascial Decompression Certified!

You may remember from our previous blog posts, our staff has been busy taking courses to learn a manual therapy technique known as "myofascial decompression". This technique utilizes the application of a cup to apply negative pressure to a muscle, while simultaenously retraining the muscle with neuromuscular and movement-science based techniques. 

​
 ​Myofascial decompression allows us to not just address the symptom, but address the movement inefficiencies that affect the overall biomechanics of the joint. ​
​

At Family Physical Therapy, we have been implementing this technique with our manual therapy and movement interventions at our Roseville, Auburn, and our Next Level Sports Performance clinics in order to help patients and athletes gain mobility, retrain their muscles, and and enhance their movement and function!​

After completing the Advanced Myofascial Decompression courses, practitioners have the option to sit for the Myofascial Decompression Certification exam.

At Family Physical Therapy, we are committed to furthering our staff education to continue to stay on top of the latest research and techniques. We would like to congratulate Kirsten Carmichael, PT, DPT, CSCS, MFDc and Ila Suplizio PT, DPT, MFDc on attaining the new accolade of the myofascial decompression certified credentials.
