MS Awareness Week 2020

MS Awareness week this year is March 8th -14th!

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable immune-mediated disease that disrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and the body. Helping others better understand this complex disease is critical to fueling the progress that changes lives for people affected by MS and that ultimately ends the disease forever.

Multiple sclerosis and the MS movement become better known each year, but more must be done to spread the word. If you want to help generate more awareness, you can help ensure that more people understand what life with MS can be like and engage more people to do something about it. Follow the National MS Society media channels and share the stories of those living with MS, who move life forward every day and don’t let MS define them. MS Awareness week in 2020 is March 8th -14th!

At Sheltering Arms, our healthcare professionals offers a broad range of treatments dedicated to helping those with MS fight the symptoms and a live full, productive life. To talk with someone about how Sheltering Arms can help you, call us at (877) 56-REHAB.

Identifying & Treating Rotator Cuff Injuries

An injury to the rotator cuff, or the group of four muscles that help to stabilize your shoulder and allow you to move your arm different directions such as overhead and behind your back, is a common cause of pain among adults. In fact, an estimated 30 percent of adults over age 60 have a rotator cuff tear. Rotator injuries can occur from a traumatic event like a fall; however, it is also common for rotator cuff injuries to develop over time from repetitive use.

How Physical Therapy Can Help Scoliosis

Imagine seeing a tree defiantly growing sideways in your yard, prompting thoughts of how to redirect its growth. In a parallel scenario, teenagers with scoliosis exhibit a noticeable trunk shift in their posture. However, the journey to rectifying their upright stance delves into a realm of complexity and intricacy. Proprioception, the body’s innate sense of movement and position, is the key to unlocking proper posture.
