    Air Force Active Duty | Solving Ligament Tears

    Air Force Active Duty | Solving Ligament Tears Elizabeth solved the problem only after finding X10 to recover from her MUA. Ligament Tears were just a part of the damage done to her knee years ago. It is exactly what we were able to do for Elizabeth that gets our whole company up in the morning. Listen and read below. A Ton of Knee Damage In this episode, we delve into the recovery journey of Elizabeth, an active-duty Air Force member who has bravely navigated the challenges of knee injuries and multiple surgeries. Elizabeth shares the significant impact her injuries had on both her physical health and her emotional well-being over the past two years. Her story begins with a devastating knee injury sustained during deployment, leading to the unfortunate “unhappy triad” of torn ligaments, which ultimately resulted in her first surgery. Solving Ligament Tears. Hi, this is Mary Elliott. I interviewed Elizabeth Amos for the Bee's Knees Podcast in the autumn of 2024. Elizabeth Amos Elizabeth details the frustrations of rehabilitation following her ACL repair, particularly the stability issues that persisted, compelling her to pursue a second surgery. The second surgery, which involved a more complex reconstruction and rerouting of her IT band, was significant. Elizabeth describes her dedicated commitment to physical therapy, attending two to three sessions a week while facing ongoing challenges with knee flexion and stability. Despite her efforts, improvement was slow, leading her to consider further interventions, including manipulation under anesthesia. Setbacks, Difficulties, A Real Struggle Throughout our conversation, Elizabeth candidly discusses the emotional toll that her recovery journey has taken on her. Amid the setbacks and difficulties, her determination to regain her pre-injury lifestyle shines through. She expresses how important it is for her to return to running and her daily activities, highlighting the internal struggle of maintaining motivation while dealing with physical pain. Elizabeth's resilience is remarkable, providing listeners with insight into her mental strength during this challenging time. Following her manipulation procedure, Elizabeth faced further frustration with her progress, which led her to seek out alternative options for recovery. It was during this search that she discovered the X10 rehabilitation system. Skeptical but hopeful, she decided to give it a try, curious about how it could facilitate recovery without intensive pain — a stark contrast to her previous experiences in physical therapy. Elizabeth shares her initial expectations around using the X10 and the resulting positive outcomes. In just a couple of weeks, she reported a tremendous increase in her knee flexion from 95 to an impressive 126 degrees. She discusses how the pain-free nature of the therapy was a game changer, allowing her to incorporate it seamlessly into her daily routine while continuing to engage in life and work without feeling constrained by her past injuries. Our conversation culminates in Elizabeth imparting valuable wisdom to others facing similar challenges. She emphasizes the importance of exploring all options for recovery,

She shares her experience of living with knee pain for several years and trying various treatments before deciding on surgery. Despite her apprehension about her age, Mindy chose knee replacement and discusses the challenges she faced during her recovery, including swelling and difficulty achieving flexion. Mindy also discovered the X10 machine, an alternative to manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) that provided a more gentle and accessible form of physical therapy. Mindy emphasizes the importance of finding a solution that works for each individual's unique circumstances and highlights the convenience and precision of the X10 machine. We discuss the importance of emotional well-being during recovery and how the X10 machine helped Mindy find a sense of relief and improvement within days. The ability to track progress and have support from both the X10 coach and her physician was greatly appreciated. Mindy continues to manage swelling through elevation and icing. As a nurse, she found the X10 to be a valuable tool and would consider doing physical therapy beforehand to strengthen her muscles in the future. Mindy Avoids Manipulation Under Anesthesia We express gratitude to Mindy for sharing her journey with us and assure her that we are honored to be a part of it.

    Dancing Two Months After Knee Replacement? (Maria’s Story)

    Dancing Two Months After Knee Replacement? An Interview with Maria Sidlosca A story full of heart, dedication and making the most out of a tough recovery. Maria explains in her knee replacement recovery journey. I was born in Cuba, and moved to Miami at the age of five, where I grew up. I have lived here all my life. I studied psychology and political science in college and became a paralegal. I was always active and athletic as a kid. Although it wasn’t my major, I was on the modern dance team in college.  Because I live near the water, I have always enjoyed all forms of water activities such as swimming, boating, snorkeling, and kayaking. During my marriage, my ex and I also used to go skiing quite frequently. In addition, I enjoy running, dancing, biking, crossfit and boot camp. A Meniscus Tear About 15 years ago I tore the meniscus in my right knee and had arthroscopic knee surgery to clean it out. No one ever explained to me that this surgery would ultimately have repercussions as I got older and continued an active life style. After my pregnancy I gained a significant amount of weight, and then lost it. I started running 5k’s during and after my weight loss, and continued dancing which was always my passion. The first few years my knee was fine, but after a while it started swelling up and started causing me tremendous trouble. I seemed to always be in pain. I became a regular at the orthopedic doctor’s office. I did endless therapies, took cortisone shots every 6 months, iced the knee, stretched it, did yoga, you name it. But the knee kept getting worse and worse, and the cortisone shots were no longer helping. About three years ago I practically blew out my knee during a 5K run. I had several medical opinions telling me that I would ultimately need TKR surgery, but for the time being it was just “elective” surgery. I finally met my surgeon, Dr. Carlos Alvarado, who gave me a third and final opinion. He ordered an MRI, and when he read the results, he was shocked to see that not only was I bone on bone, but I had also torn my ACL and MCL. He advised that surgery was no longer an option or elective for me; it was mandatory. Dr. Carlos Alvarado is my guardian angel. I found him through a mutual doctor friend who advised me to see him. It was the best medical advice I ever received. Dr. Alvarado is young, extremely knowledgeable, and well-schooled in the latest technology. He has great bedside manner, and in my opinion, is a brilliant surgeon. My surgery was state of the art and used a new technique. It went very well, and in fact, Dr. Alvarado kidded with me the next morning about how I broke the blade of his saw during the surgery. I was up and walking around just hours after my surgery. https://vimeo.com/125753363 What??... Manipulation Under Anesthesia?!! While I was physically in need of the surgery, I was not mentally prepared for what I was about to endure. I really don’t know how anyone can be prepared for this life changing event if they’ve never personally experienced total knee replacement surgery. That said, everyone and every BODY heals and recovers differently. I went to 90º flexion painfully, and sweated every minute of every therapy session. My extension wasn’t much better, as I was between -11º to -8º. I was going to therapy 3x’s a week, every week for an hour. I took five weeks off from work, so I had to take advantage of the time off to recover as quickly as possible. I made it to the 90º mark between the second and third week, and then progressed to about 113º,

    Deciding on Bilateral Knee Replacement (Donna’s Story)

    Quick Summary Donna reached out to X10 in the spring to talk about using the program for a single total knee replacement planned for later in the summer. She did some exploration on doing both knees at once and ultimately went in that direction. Donna discusses deciding on bilateral knee replacement and her recovery here. One Highlight This was one of the best decisions I've ever made ever. If I had known then everything that I was going to have to go through, everything that my family was going to have to go through, I would have thought harder about doing two knees at once from the beginning. Favorite Quote "When I go to physical therapy now the therapist is like, “Oh my goodness, you are our star patient,” because my flexion is at 120º and my extension is at 0º. I'm walking with a cane now instead of a walker. And they're like, "We wish everybody could be like you.” So I feel successful. Is this for you? Listen to the podcast or read the text below if you are considering knee replacement and want to make sure you know about the latest recovery technology. The audio interview provides a very detailed explanation, from a patient's perspective, about how the X10 can make quick work of a bilateral knee replacement recovery. Deciding on Bilateral Knee Replacement An interview with Donna Groce by PJ Ewing Donna had bilateral total knee replacement surgery. What follows is an interview with Donna conducted by PJ Ewing from X10 Therapy. My name is Donna. I live in Winston Salem, North Carolina. I am 65 years old. I have a son and a daughter and am a grandmother of four.  I have three granddaughters and one grandson ranging from ages nine down to three. They are the joys of my life. I am a born-again Christian. Praise the Lord for watching over me, taking care of me during this process. He's been so good to me. That's probably my number one praise, and I think that's why I've been able to do as well as I have. I'm exactly four weeks out from bilateral surgery, four weeks ago today. I was in the hospital for four days and came straight home. I am doing wonderfully, wonderfully well. I have been able to rest and relax, do some things that I've been wanting to do. I’ve done a lot of reading in the last four weeks, a lot of studying and things like that I don't usually have time for. This has kind of slowed me down somewhat and giving me a little bit of personal time to do some things that I wanted to do. I am very thankful for that. So even though it has been quite a journey so far, not being completely pain-free, but it's not been an unhappy or bad journey, that's for sure. And I'm super-glad that I'm four weeks on this side of the journey instead of four weeks on the other side. Four weeks before surgery, how would you describe yourself? Life was very painful. I had two really bad knees, bone-on-bone, both of them. One was a little worse than the other. I had meniscus tears in both knees, arthritis in both knees. Every step I took was a jolt of pain. I endured it for probably two years. It gradually got worse and worse. I have done everything possible that I could have done leading up to the surgery.

    Insurance Company Cancelled Knee Rehab Due to Poor Results

    Insurance Company Cancelled Knee Rehab Due to Poor Results X10 to the Rescue We share below excerpts from an interview with Kathie Delgado about her knee replacement and eventual recovery. It was when Kathie's insurance company cancelled knee rehab due to poor results that she knew she had to take matters into her own hands. My Knee Recovery Stalled After four and a half months of physical therapy, nine days on the X10 and I got to 130 degrees. My name is Kathy. I'm 64 years old and I had a total knee replacement. Right now I am about five months out from my surgery. I expected to be the wonder woman of recovery and unfortunately that turned out not to be the case. In spite of my best efforts I actually endured 38 outpatient physical therapy sessions. Not for a lack of hard work I would work as hard as I could and endure the pain to the point where I would literally cry. It sounds gross, but sometimes I literally actually vomited just from the pain of pulling on my leg. I gave it the best effort possible, but after a while it became really plain to me that what we were doing was not working and in fact, my insurance company agreed and decided that it was not efficacious to continue outpatient physical therapy. An Emotional Breakdown? I also knew that I was just literally going to have an emotional breakdown if I had to continue doing what I was doing. I said to myself, I sure hope my left leg holds out because I am never going to do this again because it was honestly the most awful experience of my life. And not because of the pain, cause you expect the pain, but because of the debilitation, the loss of independence. And then in my case when I got stuck, the lack of hope and the frustration. Finding X10 Therapy It's at that point that I decided I needed to look for something different. I came across a testimonial. Someone had done this thing called the X10 and then once I had that word, the X10, X10 Therapy, then a whole world came tumbling open to me. And I realized it was a real thing. And I realized that it was helping people. It ignited something in me which had been lacking for a long time, which was hope that there was something that could help me.

    No Rehab Pain More Gain in Knee Rehab?

    Podcast - The Bee's Knees Stories of knee surgery, recovery, therapy and life after surgery. Must We Be in Pain in Knee Physical Therapy?  Or… Is it actually no rehab pain, more gain? by Debra Barker, PTA (read by Carl Minah) PODCAST TIME CODE 0:01:20 The Inflammation Response 0:02:26 Muscle Guarding in Therapy 0:03:43 Luis's Recovery Journey 0:05:07 Progress with X10 Machine 0:06:02 Striking a Balance in Therapy 0:06:18 Redefining Physical Therapy In this episode, we discuss knee surgery recovery and the role of physical therapy in optimizing outcomes. We challenge the "no pain, no gain" notion, emphasizing the importance of understanding the body's responses to injury. Through real-life experiences like Luis's journey with innovative technology, we highlight the benefits of personalized rehabilitation methods focusing on comfort and gradual progress. By advocating for a balanced and individualized approach to knee surgery recovery, we aim to promote sustainable healing and improved outcomes for patients undergoing physical therapy. I have been in physical therapy all my life, and I have treated a lot of knee patients particularly over the last few years. In the physical therapy world it is not uncommon for the P.T. abbreviation, which is supposed to stand for Physical Therapy, to also be referred to as Pain and Torture. Unfortunately this is a very common reference for those who have gone through a total knee replacement. But is the “no pain no gain” approach really the best? I explore the possibility of no rehab pain more gain in this article. No Rehab Pain, More Gain? There are a couple very important things to consider during this difficult recovery. While range of motion is the immediate focus, there are some barriers to achieving this goal. There are several reasons that range of motion can be limited. In this podcast I discuss the variables that can be directly affected by your therapy sessions. Click the Play Button above to listen to the full article. Reflecting on the benefits of a "no rehab pain, more gain" approach, I advocate for a personalized and communicative relationship between patients and therapists to tailor rehabilitation strategies to individual needs. Emphasizing the importance of balancing persistence with tolerance in physical therapy, I encourage listeners to consider a holistic approach to knee surgery recovery that prioritizes comfort, steady progress, and open dialogue with healthcare providers.

    Knee Replacement Performance Six Years Later

    Knee Replacement Performance Six Years Later We all want to (wink wink) BE LIKE MIKE. An interview with Mike Kranis six years after knee replacement surgery. Be Like Mike Kranis We share today a chat with Mike Kranis about his inspiring journey from knee replacement surgery to becoming an avid hiker. Mike shares his experiences with knee troubles from basketball, the challenges of recovery, and how the X10 Knee Recovery System helped him achieve a remarkable 130-degree knee flexion. His story emphasizes that knee replacement can open new avenues for an active lifestyle. We discuss the importance of resilience, effective rehabilitation, and the adventures that await post-surgery. Mike Kranis Hi, this is PJ Ewing. I interviewed Mike Kranis for the Bee's Knees Podcast in the summer of 2024. Mike had a total knee replacement in 2018, and lives an incredibly active life today. Mike Kranis is a remarkable individual whose journey from knee replacement surgery to peak physical performance exemplifies the potential for recovery after such a transformative procedure. I aim to shed light on real-life experiences that inspire listeners who may be facing similar challenges. This episode strays from the ordinary discussions of knee surgery, focusing instead on remarkable success stories that defy expectations and redefine recovery. Mike, a retired postal worker turned avid hiker, shares his compelling narrative that began decades ago with a series of knee troubles resulting from a love of basketball. Despite undergoing multiple knee surgeries throughout his life, including a crucial knee replacement in January 2018, Mike’s journey took a pivotal turn when he decided to embrace hiking fully. Transitioning from basketball to a hiking enthusiast, he recounts how his passion for the outdoors led him to become a hike leader within his local county park system and expand his adventures to trails around the Appalachian Mountains. .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-affdf9e9e6dda33c5713652772c2cdb0.owl-carousel .owl-nav div { width: 36px; height: 36px; border-radius: 500px; } .dt-arrow-border-on.gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-affdf9e9e6dda33c5713652772c2cdb0.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover):before { border-width: 0px; } .dt-arrow-hover-border-on.gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-affdf9e9e6dda33c5713652772c2cdb0.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:hover:after { border-width: 0px; } .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-affdf9e9e6dda33c5713652772c2cdb0.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev { top: 50%; transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px)); left: 5px; } @media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) { .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-affdf9e9e6dda33c5713652772c2cdb0.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev { transform: translateY(-50%); margin-top: 0px; } } .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-affdf9e9e6dda33c5713652772c2cdb0.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev i { padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-affdf9e9e6dda33c5713652772c2cdb0.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next { top: 50%;

    Guarding Stops Knee Recovery for Knee Replacement Patients (Protective Muscle Spasm)

    Protective Muscle Spasm Stops Knee Recovery for Knee Replacement Patients When the physical therapist pushes your knee one way and your brain triggers your body to push back... you are experiencing a Protective Muscle Spasm * It is possibly the biggest obstacle to regaining your range of motion * And it's a devil to treat Click Here to Solve This Problem After a total knee replacement, your body will go through several different stages of healing. One of those stages is the inflammatory response, the first step of tissue repair in which your body sends extra cells to help repair and protect the area. As you continue to heal, you will go through the proliferation phase (the rebuilding phase) and then the maturation phase (the final stage of remodeling). Unfortunately, this process doesn’t always go to plan. You may experience an increase in inflammation, and/or a hematoma (a collection of blood under your skin), both of which can restrict motion and hinder the repair process of your body and cause an increase in pain, spasms and atrophy. Your body will try to limit how much pain you experience, which results in protective muscle spasms, or muscle guarding." .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div { width: 36px; height: 36px; border-radius: 500px; } .dt-arrow-border-on.gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover):before { border-width: 0px; } .dt-arrow-hover-border-on.gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:hover:after { border-width: 0px; } .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev { top: 50%; transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px)); left: 0px; } @media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) { .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev { transform: translateY(-50%); margin-top: 0px; } } .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-prev i { padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next { top: 50%; transform: translateY(calc(-50% + 0px)); right: 0px; } @media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none) { .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next { transform: translateY(-50%); margin-top: 0px; } } .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div.owl-next i { padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav i { font-size: 18px; } .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover) i, .gallery-carousel-shortcode.gallery-carousel-shortcode-id-f8045e5041039a029ed41b43c8edd60e.owl-carousel .owl-nav div:not(:hover) i:before { color: #ffffff;
