We are proud to name senior Paige Beyer the October OSR Physical Therapy Performer of the Month!
Achievements: Around the pool...Paige helped lead the Mound Westonka-Holy Family Swim & Dive team to an undefeated dual meet record! On Oct. 2, she led off the 400-yard freestyle relay against Marshall; this relay broke our pool record with a time of 3:48.84!

Quote from Coach/Advisor: "Without Paige's contributions--leadership, sportsmanship and dedication to success--this close meet would not have been the same. Congratulations, Paige for all of your successes this year both in the pool and around school!" -Assistant Swim Coach Kristyn Kallas
I had the opportunity to present on different health and injury topics at Chaska High School. I wanted to write a follow up post with links and more information on the topics we discussed.
Concussions:
We talked about leading causes for concussions and prevention. Here is a great video on concussions and gaining awareness by the National Athletic Trainers' Association VIDEO
ACL Injuries:
ACL injuries can be somewhat prevented. We went over a simple test to see if your at risk for an ACL injury. If your knee caves in when you jump here is a great exercise for you to try:
Ankle/Lower Leg Injuries Injuries:
There was some great discussion about ankle sprains and shin splints. If you are continuing to get shin splints after your conditioned for your sport, surface and wearing appropriate shoes here are some things to try.
