Congratulations to BRIO client Al Ajubita and BTC supporter Dr. Tim Finney for winning the Champion Title at the 2014 Mountaintop Golf Tournament hosted this past weekend in Cashiers, NC.  ” It was nothing short of amazing,” said previous Champion and fellow BRIO client Ken Gootee.

Al has been training with BRIO over the past several months so that he can do more of the things he loves…one of which is GOLF! Exercising at Baudry Therapy Center/BRIO helps him feel good and gives him the ability to play 2-3 day golf tournaments without pain or fatigue. Clearly, his hard work is paying off for this champion golfer.

Both Al and Dr. Tim have been huge supporters of Baudry/BRIO. Al has even encouraged his mom, sister, and son to work out at BRIO! You know what they say…Families that exercise together, stay together!

Dr. Finney has referred numerous patients to Baudry Therapy Center/BRIO  for orthopedic problems, and frequently refers golfers looking for that something extra. Tim, also an avid golfer and orthopedic surgeon, truly appreciates the importance of a good  exercise program in keeping people healthy and able to do the things you love.

We love to see our clients enjoying life full of BRIO!  Congrats guys!  We are proud of you!

The soccer flop!

As Physical therapists we see lots of sports injuries. Many, that are career threatening, and take months even years to rehab. We certainly admire and learn a lot from the drive, and determination of world cup soccer players.

But how some of these world cup soccer players recover from apparent injury in less than 30 seconds has been fascinating to watch.

Now many have said that some of these injuries may in fact be slight embellishments of the truth.  The question today is, how can you tell if a world cup soccer athlete is flopping?

Our clinic survey has revealed the following:

Signs that it might be a Flop:

1) They grab the body part and don’t move for 30 seconds.

2) They grab a body part don’t move, and look up at the ref with one eye.

3) They are close to scoring a goal, realize that they probably won’t get the shot off, and throw themselves to the ground.

4) they flail all of their body parts wildly into the air as they fall.

We’d like to hear from some real soccer players. How can you tell it was a soccer flop?
