Struggling to regain pain-free range of motion aft

Struggling to regain pain-free range of motion after your hip scope or hip labral injury? Yep, I see that all the time. 🦴⁠
⁠
We have a post just for you (not so short) but will help you focus on how to improve hip extension (aka getting your full stride length back when you are walking) and measuring trunk rotation (because you have to have it to walk normally). ⁠
⁠
A lot of hip patients can have pain with attempted loaded hip extension (knee or foot to ground) and attempted loaded hip flexion (think child’s pose).⁠
⁠
In this post you will see:⁠
✔️Pose of the week⁠
✔️2 videos⁠
✔️Graphics for range of motion⁠
✔️Explanations of range of motion⁠
⁠
Of course, this isn't a substitute for PT, so if you need help - I offer a free consultation call to get you pointed in the right direction (in case you didn't know). Just visit www.garnerpelvichealth.com⁠

Mississippi is stunning y’all. University of MS

Mississippi is stunning y’all. University of MS @ummcnews and Methodist Rehabilitation Center are hands down, top-notch. This weekend I taught two dozen top PTs and OTs how to use yoga in patient care. ⁠
⁠
I’ve been certifying healthcare providers in yoga for over TWENTY years, and I still feel - after mentoring hundreds of therapists and doctors - that there’s still SO much to learn. I taught introductory techniques in Medical Therapeutic Yoga, which includes Lifestyle & Functional Medicine considerations. ⁠
⁠
Mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, philosophy, and postures (often the least important part of yoga) - it’s all part of changing TWO KEY THINGS:⁠
⁠
Vagal tone⁠
Stress response ⁠
⁠
WHY? Better patient outcomes, faster with longer-lasting results. Sending out a HUGE THANK YOU to Methodist Rehab Center and UMiss for inviting me to train their staff this weekend in this unique hybrid (online/in-person) course. I can train your staff too! ⁠
⁠
Ask me how @ info@gingergarner.com or DM me! ⁠

New Video Drop! Recover Faster from Respiratory Il

New Video Drop! Recover Faster from Respiratory Illness using MTY, Part 2⁠
⁠
Happy Friday, everyone! Here is part 2 of my series regarding spring allergies and sickness. If you have not watched video 1, please go check it out as these videos build on each other. https://youtu.be/5Re4JvUdSmA⁠
⁠
Congestion, shortness of breath, and sore throat are signs of spring allergies and colds. For me recently, it was bronchitis, sinusitis, and laryngitis (my vocal folds are SO sensitive to inflammation!). ⁠
⁠
I find the best relief when I combine scientifically sound integrative and lifestyle medicine techniques with biomedical remedies when they are needed (whether it can be over-the-counter allergy meds or in my case, I had to do the rare thing and take antibiotics!). We can be thankful for both science AND time- tested lifestyle remedies! ⁠
⁠
In this video, we will explore:⁠
✅Osteopathic tapping⁠
✅Hydration⁠
✅Testing your voice⁠
✅A bath salt remedy⁠
✅And more⁠
⁠
Practice these techniques daily for as long as needed and I promise you will recover faster and more fully.❤️‍⁠

Welcome to Mississippi. My first time here and I h

Welcome to Mississippi. My first time here and I have mixed emotions - deeply bittersweet ones. It’s stunningly beautiful here and then I just walked by a very mature magnolia on the grounds here and, Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit comes immediately to mind.

I go from awe and appreciation of natural beauty to mourning all the lives lost to senseless violence against people of color. 🖤

I perpetually live in a state of #bittersweet existence - and I don’t think it’s a bad thing.

Susan Cain would say this sadness I feel at sitting on the front porch of this antebellum home - this sadness is where compassion is born. I’m so sorry for the long history of racially driven hate crimes and atrocities committed in the south, and I’m also committed to a hopeful future where there will be no racism or sexism. I keep dreaming for that day to come.

For now - I’m here to teach therapists and docs how to improve access to integrative medicine via a yogic model - a more humane, holistic, accessible version of healthcare. Because #healthcareforall is achievable.

It's testimonial Tuesday and we’re sharing another student win! We love to hear how our graduates are applying the education they receive through Living Well Institue. ⁠
⁠
“The MTY methodology showed me that the story of the Tortoise and Hare is true—by slowing down I am able to perceive things differently. I love the principle of healing the provider first, then the patient. After completing the training I am healthier, sleep better, prioritize avoiding negativity, and spend more time in yoga practice. Additionally, because I am more focused and at peace, my patients are too! This training was a wonderful gift to me personally, physically, and professionally.”⁠
Veronica Valenzuela - MSPT, OCS Orlando VA Medical Center⁠

We are now Garner Pelvic Health! In moving from th

We are now Garner Pelvic Health! In moving from the “me” to the “we” - our name needed to grow along with us! ⁠
⁠
Why the name change? ⁠
⁠
Many of you know my clinic’s name EudeMOMia® is derived from the Greek word eudemonia which means happiness and well-being. Modern translations often point to human-flourishing as a more accurate definition. ⁠
⁠
Many years ago, I adapted that word for my private practice because it best described my vision for mothers. You see, mothers are often not well taken care of before and after giving birth. Ongoing research consistently ranks the US with the highest rate of maternal deaths among high-income countries. As a clinician and mother of three sons, this is unacceptable. In my own experience, I had to fire two practices before finding one that actually used evidence-based medicine. Seriously. ⁠
⁠
After moving to Greensboro and relocating my practice (after 21 years at the coast!), I began to realize the needs of this community really needed to be inclusive of ALL PELVISES. Men’s and trans health was virtually nowhere to be found, so I decided to answer the call. At Garner Pelivc Health, we provide comprehensive, evidence-based care. We are one of only a handful of US clinics offering such a broad range of pelvic health and wellness services. ⁠
⁠
We remain true to our original mission as well by serving mamas – prenatal, postpartum, and across the lifespan. We welcome you and your babies (when you can’t find childcare). We are baby-friendly!⁠
EudeMOMia® is now the name of our Women’s Health & Wellness classes available virtually as a division of Garner Pelvic Health! ⁠
⁠
And we’re just so proud to do it all using evidence-based Functional, Integrative, and Lifestyle Medicine. Come see what we’re all about! ⁠

Happy Friday! We have a new hip hack video for you

Happy Friday! We have a new hip hack video for you focusing on high-level, post-hip scope work. In just X minutes, I’ll share the functional work needed to banish lingering groin pain and pinching (which happens all too often!) which leads to excessive work by the “Snarky Psoas.”⁠
⁠
As you may know, my approach to Physical Therapy is grounded in medical therapeutic yoga - which means I’ll guide you biopsychosocially to greater stability! You’ll learn how to:⁠
⁠
✅Downtrain (calming down) the Snarky Psoas (and related hip flexors and inner thigh muscles) ⁠
✅Nurture fluid movement, strength, and stability in the hip ⁠
✅Address core timing and strength in the core⁠
✅Press the "reset button" on your nervous system and motor patterning. ⁠
⁠
This guided practice will lead you a healing trunk rotation with your theraband and get you on the road to feeling better. ⁠
⁠
P.S… AND NOW WE HAVE 3! Check out 2 other hip hack videos on our YouTube channel! 🦵⁠

“You’re only given a little spark of madness.

“You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.” —Robin Williams. For me, my madness was going against the grain early in my PT career. I wanted to treat the root cause of pain and illness - not just throw a bandage on it. The sheer weight of my patients' multi-morbidities in the opioid-ridden nineties lit a fire in my heart to treat the whole person. I knew there had to be a better way! Let me show you how FILM: Functional, Integrative (Yoga) Lifestyle Medicine is transforming healthcare @integrativelifestylemed.com⁠

Do you ever question your resilience? I do. Part o

Do you ever question your resilience? I do. Part of it can be a healthy, “hey, am I responding to this situation okay?” and then sometimes you cross the line into ruminating, which isn’t healthy. ⁠
⁠
Well, have you heard of a resilience circle? It’s finding a space to recharge - mind and body. It’s said that these circles work best when you have a small group (that could be as little as 5 or as many as 20) of like-minded folks - and you focus on the three key areas:⁠
⁠
✅Learning, (because the day you stop learning is the day you start dying) ⁠
✅Mutual aid (having each other’s back!), and ⁠
✅Social action (getting out there and doing something that means something to you) ⁠
⁠
Last year we created two new resilience circles for clinicians. We’re looking for a FEW more folks to join us! ⁠
⁠
💡If you want to improve your self-care and deepen your knowledge about FILM (Functional, Integrative, and Lifestyle Medicine practice) - then our Catalyst Coaching program is a perfect fit. ⁠
🔥If you are looking for that PLUS (You + Business Coaching), then Synergy may be your jam. ⁠
⁠
Participants are telling us that “it feels great and is very healing and motivating to connect with other like-minded folks”! So, come recharge, build relationships, and gain perspective with us!⁠
⁠
If you’re already a part of a resilience circle, please share your experiences in the comments below! ⁠
