Stretch of the Month |
| |
|
| |
Upper Trapezius Stretch
Lower your arm
to hold the bottom of your seat, anchoring your
shoulder down during the stretch. Gently bend
your neck to the side away from your lowered
arm until you feel a light stretch along the
head, neck and shoulder. Avoid stretching too
strong. Hold 20 to 30 seconds while relaxing
with deep breathing. Repeat 3 times each side.
Stretching Tip: A
lighter, more comfortable stretch maintained
for 30 to 60 seconds is more favorable than
a shorter more intense stretch. You should be
able to relax the area under stretch during
the exercise.
These
stretches are meant as general guidelines, if
you have any concerns or questions regarding
your medical conditions, please consult your
physician.

"I believe
that continuing education is an important
aspect of being a healthcare provider
and that a practitioner should keep
abreast with current information to
pass along to benefit his patients."
A lecturer and instructor,
Greg Sonntag, PT is the director of
Arizona Advanced Physical Therapy
in Mesa, Arizona. Proficient in manual
and TMJ therapies, as well as as sports
medicine, he took his training at
the University of Health Sciences
at Chicago Medical School with a B.S.
in Physical Therapy and the Emergency
Medical Services Academy at the University

Spending many years in the medical
field, Sonntag has worked closely
with members of the nursing profession
and other rehabilitative practitioners.
One of his special talents lies in
manual therapy. In fact, he has become
known by patients and peers alike
for the positive results of his skills.
According to his patients, Sonntag
seems to have an inner knowledge of
just what to do to reduce their pain,

Sonntag enhances what they are able
to gain from physical therapy.
