OUR TEAM

As healthcare providers we have taken an oath to do no harm first and we intend to follow through on that promise. You should know that each of us are remaining at home outside of work. We are all limiting our contact, wearing masks and continue to practice social distancing outside of the office. We ask that you do the same. In the office we will have the appropriate PPE and precautions in place to serve you as safely as possible.

New Precautions:

We will taking your O2 levels when you enter the office. The research is showing this to be superior to temperature taking.
We have staggered the schedule so that only one patient will be coming in at a time.
We have created 15 minute blocks after each appointment so that we have ample time to clean the room, equipment, door handles etc. between appointments.
We ask that our patients wear a mask, come in at their appointment time, no earlier and go straight to the bathroom to wash their hands. You will not be permitted to stay in the waiting room.
The doors to each room with remain open to allow proper ventilation and we will make sure to appropriately drape and cover each patient for modesty.
The therapists and front office manager will be wearing masks, scrubs and gloves.

Should you choose to stay home we are still scheduling Telehealth appointments and our DIY PT programs are available for purchase on our website. Please feel free to call 770-842-1418 or email us at admin@precisionpt.org if you would like to schedule an appointment.

We know this is a big change in the way we are all used to doing things. This is a difficult time and we need to get used to this transition together. My only hope is that someday in the near future we will be able to return to a somewhat "normal" routine. Let's all work together to protect our community.

With Love and gratitude,

Your Precision Team

Improving Running Efficiency: Hip Extension (Part 1)

Are you looking to be a more efficient runner and decrease risk for injury? Addressing hip extension may help! Of course, there are many nuances of running form that can affect running efficiency and risk for injury, however, one of the most common running form deviations that I see in the clinic is a lack of hip extension. This can lead to a plethora of injuries at the low back, hip, knee, and even into the foot and ankle!

What is hip extension?

Hip extension is when the femur (thigh bone) is behind our body or when our leg passes behind our center of gravity when we are running or walking. This motion is performed primarily by our gluteus maximus and hamstring muscle, but we also get some help from the adductor magnus muscle to achieve this motion.
