Two injuries Later…
Joseph Bates has been coming to Teton Therapy in Cheyenne, Wyoming for over six months, for two different physical therapy treatments. His doctor diagnosed him with compartment syndrome for his leg. Compartment syndrome is a painful condition that happens when pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous levels. This disrupts blood flow to muscles and nerve cells. His physical therapy program helped relieve his compartment syndrome greatly. As a result, Joseph returned to Teton for a new injury. on his right shoulder and torn tendon in his bicep.
After his leg problem, Joseph tore a tendon in his bicep and had pain in his right shoulder. When you tear a tendon on your bicep, you lose strength in the entire arm. This makes it very painful to do daily tasks such as opening your car door, carrying grocery bags, or picking up your children.
So, if you have this injury, a physical therapist can help you recover. They develop a program of stretching and strengthening exercises that help restore strength in the shoulder and repair the torn tendon.
Joseph has been to different physical therapy clinics. However, he says Teton Therapy has been the most effective for him:
“The staff is amazing and really know what they’re doing. They are some of the most well-trained group of specialists I’ve ever known. Other places made me feel the same leaving as when I came in, and now everything feels less tense and more functional.”
