Whether you consider yourself to be an ultra-athlete or a weekend warrior, physical therapy can help you look, feel, and move your best. If you live or work in Galloway, NJ, look no further than our Twin Boro Physical Therapy Egg Harbor Township location to see how physical therapy can change your life.
Since 1980, Twin Boro Physical Therapy has proudly served New Jersey residents with dedication, commitment, and compassion. We employ highly experienced physical therapists, hand therapists, and occupational therapists—many of whom have over 25 years of experience—to ensure we can provide our patients with comprehensive care. We continually keep up with the latest research in rehabilitation science in order to incorporate this into our treatment plans and develop evidence-based individualized programs for every patient.
What is the One2FourTM Approach?
Our One2FourTM approach is one way in which we further personalize our patients’ training programs. Every patient will be categorized into groups 1, 2, 3, or 4. These groups range from needing complete assistance at home to having ultra-athletic goals. This grouping allows our patients to clearly see their starting point, their progress, and their end goal. We also use these groups to connect our patients with additional resources that are tailored to their current needs. As our patients move into new groups, the resources we connect them with change.
What Makes Us Different?
We believe in treating our patients holistically. Physical therapy does not start and end with a specific physical concern. It involves striving towards improved wellbeing all around, both mentally and physically. By connecting our patients to outside resources, we are able to help our patients make the most of their experience with us. In addition to this, we use one-on-one pairings with our One2FourTM approach to create a training program tailored to our patients’ unique anatomies, needs, schedules, preferences, and goals.
Ways to Correct Bad Posture at Home
As the work-from-home era continues, many of us are spending more time than ever in from of a screen. What’s worse—many of us are working slumped on a couch or with our computers on our lap and craning our neck downwards. But never fear, we’ve compiled a few of our favorite, simple at-home exercises to relieve tension in the neck and help correct bad posture.
- Neck straightening: Sit upright and look straight ahead. Gently tuck the chin into the neck and try to imagine you are pressing your neck to the wall behind you. Lower the shoulder and focus on elongating the spine. Hold 10 seconds and then relax. Repeat 5 times.
- Thumbs-Up: Sit upright and extend your arms in a T-position. Bend both elbows to a 90-degree angle, keeping your entire arm parallel to the floor. With your arms in this position, pull the elbows backward, trying to press your shoulder blades together. Make a thumbs up with your hands and rotate your arms while keeping the 90-degree elbow angle and shoulder blades squeezed together. The thumbs should move up and down, creating a vertical line as your arms rotate. Make 15 rotations.
- Lying stretch: Grab a large water bottle or yoga block. Lie on your back on the ground and place the item under your upper back where the shoulder blades are. Relax the head and neck downwards. Take 10 deep breaths, letting the back, head, and neck relax while stretching over the water bottle or yoga block.
