We hope everyone had great holidays and a Happy New Year! As we start to plan for the upcoming year, we make it a point to look back to see what type of information users are seeking as they continue their wellness journey in 2025.
As we provide educational blog posts that cover a large array of topics, we took a look back on 2024 to see which ones were the most read. Also, we also don’t want anyone to have missed our most popular ones! Therefore, here are the top 5 of the year:
1. What is the Alter G and how does it work?
We have a lot of avid runners, athletes and running club members that we treat throughout the year at Fitzgerald PT. The Alter G is a great PT tool that is used to help rehab injuries in the lower extremities – such as knees, ankles and feet. At Fitzgerald PT, we offer this cutting-edge solution to help: the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill, a breakthrough in rehabilitation and training technology. Check out our most popular blog of the year to learn more!
2. The Art of Shoveling: Helpful Tips and Tricks
Now that winter is here – snow is on it’s way! Many of us will be outside (sometimes in our PJs) shoveling snow or scraping ice. I think we can all agree that shoveling is a daunting task. However, with the right tricks and techniques, this seemingly strenuous chore can become more manageable, efficient and less painful. Check out our blog on this to learn more.
3. Breast Cancer Recovery and Physical Therapy
This past October for Breast Cancer Awareness month, we wanted to raise awareness on how essential Physical Therapy is in the recovery process for breast cancer patients. Many survivors face ongoing challenges post-surgery or treatment, and PT plays a vital role in helping them regain strength, mobility, and confidence in their bodies. Check out our blog that explains how PT helps Breast Cancer patients heal both physically and emotionally.
4. Why Did My Doctor Tell Me That PT Won’t Help?
When you’re dealing with pain or a movement dysfunction, hearing from your doctor that “physical therapy won’t help” can be confusing and frustrating. As a patient, it’s essential to understand the role of physical therapy and how it fits into your overall healthcare plan. We believe that physical therapy is a vital part of the healthcare continuum. Check out our blog to learn more about our empowering approach to this.
5. ACL Injury Prevention and Treatment: Insights from Fitzgerald PT
We understand the profound impact an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can have on athletes and active individuals. Unfortunately, ACL injuries are common, particularly in sports that involve sudden changes in direction or intense physical contact. Working with many athletes, unfortunately this is one of the most common injuries that we treat. Check out our blog on this and what can be done to prevent this injury and/or treat it.
As we head into 2025, we’d like to once again thank all our staff, PTs and patients who have been amazing this past year! We couldn’t do what we do without all of you, so THANK YOU! We can’t wait to see what the new year brings – definitely exciting things ahead!
From our Fitz Fam to yours, we wish you a healthy and safe 2025!
