Physical Therapy Dumbbell Bar - DIY

It's my third time to undergo shoulder rehabilitation and this time, it's my left, post arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The first time was for left frozen shoulder and the second time was for anterior bicipetal tendinitis on the right shoulder.

In all these 3 physical therapy sessions for the shoulder, I've used various physical therapy equipment like therabands, physical therapy dumbbells and the finger/shoulder ladder. After being discharged by the rehab doctor, it is usually recommended that I continue the therapy exercises at home.

Sleep Better After Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery

Getting back home after the shoulder arthroscopic surgery wasn't too easy. Fortunately, my brother-in-law was there to drive us home. There was no way that we could have commuted by bus in the state I was in. Though relieved, I was still a bit nauseous and a bit groggy from the surgery.

An arthroscopic shoulder surgery is performed for many reasons. These can include SLAP (Superior Labral Tear from Anterior to Posterior) tear or lesion, partial or full thickness tear of the rotator cuff and others. Rotator cuff tears are among the most common conditions affecting the shoulder.

Best Anti-Tick Solution for Dogs

When you have a garden lawn, one of the disadvantages of having a pet dog is the risk of having ticks and fleas getting on the dog. This is especially if the dog isn't tied or caged and is allowed to roam the yard.

I'm an avid gardener and we have front and back yards with gardens and lawns planted to grass. Our dog isn't tied or caged. She's very much active and loves to rest, lie and romp around the garden. I think ticks will always be a problem if the dog is in constant contact with ground soil.

San Lazaro Leisure Park Map Directions

In our quest for organic fertilizers for our garden, horse manure as fertilizer came up in several discussions with DH. I've heard folks rave about the effectivity of aged horse manure to produce robust and vigorous garden plants that help boost flowering and fruiting.

Along with horse manure, molasses as a fertilizer amendment often came up in internet forum discussions.

So where else to find horse manure and molasses? In places where there are horses, of course! And the horse racetrack or hippodrome is definitely one place.

Plain MRI of the Left Shoulder

After 18 physical therapy sessions at the rehab center and more done at home, I felt my left shoulder was becoming stronger. However, the dull nagging pain just wouldn't go away.

Every few days, I'd occasionally perform some of the shoulder mobility and strength tests I know like the Hawkins test, Neer test, Yergason test, Drop Arm test, Crossover test, Yocum test, Empty Can test and a few others.

Recognition and Achievement Awards Display

This is a continuation of the article on mounting medals and trophies for display.

Not all of the items in the display cabinet shelves are medals, ribbons and trophies. There are many other items in your kids' stuff that are bound to add interest and variety to the display.

A portrait for instance, easily identifies the shelf to its owner. Adding these pieces of items will even out and balance the number of items that are showcased among the shelves so none would appear lackluster.
