Walking outdoors benefits the brain

Walking on a TrailThe Washington Post published an article on recent research that looked at the positive effects experiencing nature can have on the brain. “The new research provides a new kind of evidence that is not only consistent with — but also strengthens — the growing body of research on the benefits of nature exposure.”

To reap the benefits of nature on the brain, check out a local trail and get walking!

March is National Athletic Training Month

National Athletic Training Month: March 2013March is National Athletic Training Month. This is a great time show our appreciation for the athletic training profession, as well as to explain exactly what athletic trainers are trained to do.

What is athletic training?

As stated by the National Athletic Training Association, “athletic training encompasses the prevention, diagnosis and intervention of emergency, acute, and chronic medical conditions involving impairment, functional limitations, and disabilities.”

Athletic trainers are educated in:

  • Risk management and injury prevention
  • Pathology of injuries and illnesses
  • Orthopedic clinical examination and diagnosis
  • Medical conditions and disabilities
  • Acute care of injuries and illnesses
  • Therapeutic modalities
  • Conditioning, rehabilitative exercise and referral
  • Pharmacology
  • Psychosocial intervention and referral
  • Nutritional aspects of injuries and illnesses
  • Healthcare administration 

Since DOAR & Affiliates offers outpatient therapy, let’s talk about the role of athletic trainers in our clinics. Our athletic trainers support the physical therapy staff in the treatment of a wide range of injuries and conditions. You can also find them on the sidelines supporting local high school athletics and community sporting events.

Video: Benefits of aquatic therapy and exercise

Aquatic therapy uses the physical properties of water combined with proven therapy techniques to help patients in healing and exercise performance. We found this great video about the benefits of aquatic therapy and exercise, and wanted to share it with you!

For your convenience and quality of care, we offer one-on-one aquatic therapy using our on-site, heated therapy pools at 6 of our outpatient therapy locations! Here’s a picture of our newest therapy pool at TheraSport Physical Therapy’s Eden location:
