Early this morning, our Patient Portal System experienced an error while undergoing an update. If you are a patient at Essex Physical Therapy and you received an incorrect invoice, not to worry! We are taking care of things behind the scenes, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your patience as we get everything back to normal!
At Essex Physical Therapy, we focus on comprehensive evaluations, and help educate our patients on their body and treatment plan to guarantee long-lasting success. Read more from our patient, Abigail, below.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The personalized attention and thoughtful care offered at Essex Physical Therapy are unmatched. My therapists got to know me as a person, not solely an injury or condition to be solved, and allowed me to define my goals for each PT session. The holistic approach to treatment at EPT helped me to recognize my agency in the healing process and led me to more deeply understand the interconnected role of body, mind, and breath in recovery. Highly recommend this practice!!"

We are so excited to officially welcome Tori to our team! Tori received her doctorate from George Washington University in 2018. During her graduate coursework, she spent time in a variety of clinical settings, including inpatient rehabilitation at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD and outpatient orthopedics in Fairfax, VA and Sydney, Australia. In addition to treating clients with persistent pain, Tori also has an interest in treating patients with orthopedic and sport injuries.
In her free time, Tori enjoys running, biking, hiking, snowboarding and just about anything that allows her to be outside. Since she has recently moved back to the area, she is looking forward to trying some new outdoor sports, including cross country and backcountry skiing. She also loves spending time with her dog, Elbee (who also loves to hike!), and when she has free time, traveling to as many new places as possible.
Make sure to say a big "Hello!" if you see her around the office!

November is National Gratitude month, so we are setting aside time each day to write down three things for which we're thankful. And luckily enough, gratitude has been proven to have dramatic and lasting effects on a persons health. It can lower blood pressure, improve immune function, and help you sleep better. Sounds like a win-win!
.
.
Do you have a daily gratitude practice? If not, we'd love for you to join us! Let us know what you're thankful for in the comments below.

Walking for just 30 minutes a day, five days a week, has incredible healing powers! It can help lower your blood sugar, strengthen your heart, and ease joint pain. It can also boost your immune system, increase your mood, and boost your energy. Plus, we can still peep those beautiful autumn colors. What’s not to love?! Let’s take advantage of these last warm, fall days and head outdoors!�

How well do you know your hamstrings?
.
.
The hamstrings are made up of three muscles – the biceps femoris, the semimembranosus, and the semitendinosus. The biceps femoris helps to externally rotate your hip and externally rotate your bent knee. The semimembranosus internally rotates your lower leg at the flexed knee. The semitendinosus internally rotates your hip, and when your knee is bent, it internally rotates your lower leg. All three of these muscles work to flex your knees, extend your hips, and posteriorly tilt your pelvis.
.
.
Hamstrings are incredibly important to strengthen, and are often times overlooked in training! Look out for our favorite exercises soon.
