Patriotic Christmas Show on PCB
We are proud to be a sponsor for Todd Allen Herendeen’s Patriotic Christmas Show to be held at the Panama City Beach Senior Center on December 19, 2014. Todd performed for us at the Grand Opening of the First Choice Physical Therapy clinic at the Village of Grand Panama. It was a great show. Todd is best known for his incredible Elvis tributes, but the show featured songs from many different artists.
Todd has written several patriotic songs about America, including “My Name is America” which was a huge hit across the nation. You can read more about Todd and the events he has at http://tentrevivalofamerica.org/. We highly recommend the show and hope you will be able to attend!
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Votes Are In 2014
Did you vote? “We the people have the power. Vote today.”, was the message we ran on our sign all day Tuesday. The process requires the public to exercise their Power. Time for a break from the process for a little while, but please be ready to Vote in 2016. It is not what the majority of Americans want that matters come election day. It is the majority of those that Vote that choose the direction for us all. VOTE!

Say it loud!
Laura M. wrote this short but awesome note.
If I had known I was going to see/feel results this soon I would not have avoided Physical Therapy when first ordered by my primary physician last year. I recommend it highly to others now.
Please be sure that you research all your options before making a decision regarding your health. In many cases you will find that physical therapy offers great relief from body aches and pains. Enough to possibly avoid surgery or to reduce dependency on pain medication.
Call us today to see if we can help you!

Benefits of Physical Therapy
Doctors of Physical Therapy are experts in improving mobility and motion, and pain-free movement is crucial to your quality of daily life, your ability to earn a living, your ability to pursue your favorite leisure activities, and so much more.
Improve Mobility & Motion
Movement can help you prevent obesity, which may be responsible for at least 18% of US adult deaths. Meanwhile, recent studies suggest that prolonged sitting can be unhealthy, and that walking just a little bit more each day can help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Consistent movement is also vital to maintaining a healthy balance system, and that’s important because falls often lead to significant, costly injuries.
Doctors of Physical Therapy work with their patients and clients of all ages and abilities to expand, restore, and maintain motion.
Avoid Surgery and Prescription Drugs
Many people are referred to a Doctor of Physical Therapy in order to rehabilitate from a major medical trauma or surgery, but increasing research suggests that treatment by a physical therapist is often an equally effective – and cheaper – alternative to surgery and prescription drugs for numerous conditions ranging from back pain and degenerative disk disease to meniscal tears and knee osteoarthritis.
Although direct access laws vary by state and insurance plans differ, anyone in the United States can arrange a screening by a physical therapist without a physician’s referral. Florida is a direct access state which means you can walk right into a Physical Therapist office to get the treatment you deserve fast. Through individualized treatment plans designed by physical therapists, patients can sometimes achieve the same results without the expense and side effects of surgery and prescription medication.
Participate In Your Recovery
Doctors of Physical Therapy routinely work collaboratively with their patients. Treatment plans can be designed for the patient’s individual goals, challenges, and needs. Receiving treatment by a physical therapist is rarely a passive activity, and participating in your own recovery can be empowering. In many cases, patients develop an ongoing relationship with their physical therapist to maintain optimum health and movement abilities across the lifespan.

Backpack Safety
School is back in session and backpacks are full. Kids are scrambling to get to class and parents are scrambling to make sure that they have all the right tools for a successful school year. Here are a few tips taken from the American Physical Therapy Associations website to help your student have less backpack induced back pain.
Wear both straps
Use of one strap causes one side of the body to bear the weight of the backpack. By wearing two shoulder straps, the weight of the backpack is better distributed.
Wear the backpack over the strongest mid-back muscles
Pay close attention to the way the backpack is positioned on the back. It should rest evenly in the middle of the back. Shoulder straps should be adjusted to allow the child to put on and take off the backpack without difficulty and allow free movement of the arms. Straps should not be too loose, and the backpack should not extend below the low back.
Lighten the load
Keep the load at 10-15% or less of the child’s bodyweight. Carry only those items that are required for the day. Organize the contents of the backpack by placing the heaviest items closest to the back. Some students have two sets of books so as not to have to carry the heavy books to and from school.
How Can our Doctors at First Choice Physical Therapy Help
A physical therapist can help you choose a proper backpack and fit it specifically to your child. Children come in all shapes and sizes, and some have physical limitations that require special adaptations.
Our Doctors of Physical Therapy can help improve posture problems, correct muscle imbalances, and treat pain that can result from improper backpack use. We can also design individualized fitness programs to help children get strong and stay strong—and carry their own loads!
For any injuries call 850-248-1600. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy can get you backpacking pain free.

And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Gabby and her dad (Scott) spent some time helping out at the PC Rescue Missions Klothes for Kids last Saturday. Around 1000 kids from this county received 2 school uniforms, 2 play outfits and a pair of shoes.
Haiti Update
Emily Schmitt and I just returned from Haiti with encouraging news from the clinic and orphanage. The children that were rescued from a bad situation in February look healthy and happy. The facilities at the All My Heart Haiti orphanage are better than I imagined and the staff has done a wonderful job of providing structure and a loving environment for the children. We will continue to support this work and give these children every opportunity possible to succeed physically, spiritually and academically.
The clinic in Jacmel is thriving and the staff continues to grow in confidence and effectiveness. Many patients have been affected by the Chikungunya virus which presents with flu like symptoms with the addition of significant joint pain that moves around from joint to joint. We are also in the process of setting up infrastructure to develop tele-therapy in the Jacmel clinic. This would give us the opportunity to continue teaching and instructing clinicians in an interactive environment as well as being available for clinical advise/opinions.
Thanks to all of our patients who have donated items for the orphanage and offered financial support!
