Will Travel for Work
by
Lisa Mueller
I'm traveling for work this week, my second "business" trip as a physical therapist. My employer is opening a new clinic in northern Wisconsin that also has a rehab staff member onsite, so I'm here finalizing the set-up and training the new staff member.

Biomechanics of Being a Mom
by
Lisa Mueller
I'm writing this blog after nearly six days of spending time with my family over the holiday. Thanksgiving with my mom's family, hosted my in-laws over the weekend and a last-minute dinner with some cousins last night made for a busy, yet much-needed

Annual Thankful Blog
by
Lisa Mueller
It's hard to believe that I've written this blog for more than four years, and each year I like to take the time around Thanksgiving to reflect on the wonderful things that have happened this year. Next month, my husband and I will read all of the slips

Dream PT Clinic
by
Lisa Mueller
I often find myself dreaming about the future. I plan, too. I think about the best scenarios for accomplishing certain tasks but also allowing time for other things. My brain is wired to look at situations and try to uncover the best possible "solution."

Posture and Exercise
by
Lisa Mueller
Many times, regardless of the patient's diagnosis, I'll discuss posture during one of our treatment sessions and the impact correct posture can have in reducing pain. The problem is that once my patients hear the word "posture" roll off my tongue, they

Is Lack of Exercise a Medical Condition?
by
Lisa Mueller
Mayo Clinic physiologist Michael Joyner, MD, writes in The Journal of Physiology that physical inactivity is the root cause of many common medical problems. He continues to explain that if physical inactivity was treated as its own medical condition,

Is It Stress?
by
Lisa Mueller
This summer has been very, very busy in my neck of the woods. Many weekends away have resulted in more things needing to get done in less time at home. We lost two major trees in two thunderstorms (so far), and with refinancing the house, re-roofing part

It's Olympic Time
by
Lisa Mueller
It's finally Olympic time -- that one extraordinary time when the best of the best compete and years of training finally pays off. I remember watching the Olympics as a child in awe. The irony of this inspiring Olympic season is that I'm usually exercising

Starting Up
by
Lisa Mueller
The medical company I work for is expanding into two new facilities next week. While this is a wonderful expansion opportunity for our company, I'm very surprised by the amount of planning and preparation that has gone into the start-up. I've been involved

Company Picnic
by
Lisa Mueller
This weekend I attended my very first company picnic. The new company I work for sent out an email a few weeks ago with an invitation to the picnic and I RSVP'd for both my husband and I to attend. The weather was perfect -- upper 80s was the coolest

Common Therapist Sayings
by
Lisa Mueller
There are a lot of phrases I say to my patients to emphasize certain parts of their recovery. I repeat many of them a lot, to the point where I feel a bit like a broken record. I have noticed this with my coworkers as well -- I can hear them saying similar

Screening for Depression
by
Lisa Mueller
Many times when I work with my patients, they are not the happiest people. Some patients are in a lot of pain, some frustrated with their physical deficits. Although I explain to patients the course of treatment and estimated timeline for recovery, there

Household Items
by
Lisa Mueller
A friend of mine recently developed some low-back pain, so I sent him a page full of exercises and gave some suggestions for sitting and sleeping posture. We talked a few weeks later and my friend mentioned that the most comfortable position he found

It's Finally Summer
by
Lisa Mueller
Here in Wisconsin, we have been experiencing a week of picture-perfect weather. Sunny and 70s during the day with cool breezes at night. This is my second summer as a homeowner and the to-do list of outdoor landscaping is pretty long. An arborist is coming

Exercise Defined
by
Lisa Mueller
I don't really follow a lot of political news. I found myself reading a few more political news pieces and articles recently, partly because this is an election year. I came across this article about the John Edwards trial and his defensive strategy relying
