Active Motion Physical Therapy

Black lives matter. A black square was posted here on Tuesday, but I then took it down because for *me* it felt unauthentic to post until I knew what actions we could take as business. AMPT stands for Active Motion Physical Therapy, and action is very important to us. As a start to our learning and involvement, we have decided to take the following steps:
1. Donating to American Civil Liberties Union of MA @ aclu_m in support of their work for equitable healthcare.
2. Supporting small black owned businesses by sourcing 25% of our promotional and cleaning products from these businesses.
AMPT has always been and will continue to be an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome. We will continue to take action. This is a start, please let us know of other suggestions! 🖤

Teamwork makes the dream work. So thankful ❤️

Research Application - Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAI)
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is one or more structural abnormalities of the hip, a ball and socket joint. The ball and/or the socket of the hip joint can present with the structural abnormality limiting motion and at times causing pain. This abnormal contact at the joint results in stress that disrupts the acetabular labrum and articular cartilage. It is thought that this repetitive stress over time will lead to early hip joint degenerative changes.
Often both surgical and physical therapy management are options provided to a patient with this diagnosis. This study indicated that surgery is not always indicated and that a comprehensive physical therapy plan of care can result in optimal outcomes. Comprehensive treatment included joint mobilization, motor control and strength.
Pilates rehabilitation is one of the many offerings for treatment at AMPT. The equipment including spring tension and support provide the body with feedback improving both joint motion and motor control. Pilates mat based exercises serve as a compliment to the work done in the clinic. Once motion and control have improved, increasing strength to improve function results in great outcomes.
