Bodyworks to Host Another Seminar for Pre-op Patients

Popular Session Will Focus on Preps for Total Hip and Knee Replacements

PALM SPRINGS – June 1, 2011: Based on the success of its first event, Bodyworks Physiotherapy Clinic is hosting another free seminar for patients who are scheduled to undergo (or who are considering) total knee and hip replacement surgeries on Tuesday, June 21 from 6:00 to 6:45 PM at its Palm Springs clinic. Space is limited, so reservations are required.

Wilson and his professional staff will demonstrate proper pre- and post-op exercises, showcase some of the rehabilitative equipment that patients might need or use after surgery, and discuss simple steps that will help in handling the brief impairment that accompanies recovery.

“The last seminar we hosted in May was fully booked within a matter of days, so we wanted to reach out yet again to those patients who will be undergoing or are considering these major surgeries,” says David Wilson, Founder and Clinical Director of Bodyworks. “People really relate to the things we discuss; day-to-day issues that most people don’t consider,” explains Wilson. “We offer tips on how to best strategize for movement around the home, on planning post-op meals, and even selecting a reliable contact person in case of emergency.”

Bodyworks to Host Free Seminar for Pre-op Patients

Bodyworks Physiotherapy Clinic will host a free seminar for patients who are scheduled to undergo (or who are considering) total knee and hip replacement surgeries on Tuesday, May 24 from 6:00 to 6:45 PM at its clinic in Palm Springs. Space is limited, so reservations are required.

“The first seminar we hosted on this topic was very successful, so we wanted to make our knowledge available a second time for those patients who will be undergoing or are considering these major surgeries,” says David Wilson, Founder and Clinical Director of Bodyworks. “Due to hip or knee discomfort, people are sometimes living a less active life than they would like. By strengthening these muscles prior to surgery, they increase their chances of a shorter and easier recovery and are able to ‘hit the ground running.’”

Bodyworks Physiotherapy Clinic Adds New Team Member

David Wilson, P.T., of Bodyworks Physiotherapy Clinic is proud to announce the addition of Rick Raburn to his staff.

Rick has been a Physical Therapist for more than seventeen years.  He enjoys the challenge of working with different diagnoses and deciding the plan of care that will best help each patient and their individual needs.

Rick says of his career “I have found that orthopedics is where I feel I can make the greatest impact in people's lives.  In this setting I also find that those who work on their exercises at home get the best results, and usually continue to exercise on their own even after having been discharged from physical therapy.”
