In episode 10 of
the Princeton Spine & Joint Center podcast, Dr. Scott Curtis,
Director of Sports Medicine here at the practice, had a great
conversation with Nicole Groszew Mattonelli from Professional
Physical Therapy here in Princeton. Nicole is an orthopedic
physical therapist and a sport specific physical therapist who has
a wealth of knowledge on different types of sport specific physical
therapy protocols. They talked about a lot of different things
including generalized physical therapy, what it is and what are
some of the expectations behind physical therapy. Scott and Nicole
also talked about sports specific physical therapy and a functional
progression to getting an athlete back to doing what they want to
do. They used the example of runners' sport specific injuries and
different ways that we get them back to running. So if you've ever
done physical therapy or are an athlete who has had chronic or
acute injuries that required physical therapy, we think you will
enjoy this episode.
