uses for dycem in the PT clinic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we warm up for the 2015 season of events and conferences, we look back on the APTA Expo held in Indianapolis in February.<\/p>\n

Over the three-day event, we met a staggering number of Physical Therapists and healthcare professionals who use Dycem every single day in their work.\u00a0 And boy do they have a lot of great things to say about it!<\/p>\n

In fact, we were so impressed by the attendees\u2019 enthusiasm for our products; we decided to make a record of all of their feedback.<\/p>\n

Here for you now is a selection of the many different ways PT\u2019s use Dycem in therapeutic settings.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring my clinic, I used Dycem for manual skills and I used Dycem to help with arm manipulations.\u201d<\/em> – Jeff<\/p>\n

\u201cI use Dycem to help adhere to the tissue for Myofascial release. I recommend using it to help save your hand.\u201d<\/em> – Kenny Spine<\/p>\n

\u201cI use Dycem for scar tissue massage.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Katherine<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is particularly useful for Axillary web syndrome, where Dycem provides a nice extra tissue stretch.\u201d<\/em> – Chris<\/p>\n

\u201cI use Dycem for scar mobility and joint mobility.\u201d<\/em>– Jeremy Baxter<\/p>\n

\u201cI use Dycem for ankle mobilisations and to grip parts of the body which are hard to hold onto, when\u00a0I’m\u00a0doing manual therapy.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0-Tania Brode<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a patient who\u00a0didn’t\u00a0have any control over her extremities, and I\u2019d use Dycem on her lap\u00a0to help stabilise her arms.\u201d<\/em>–\u00a0 Nicole<\/p>\n

Dycem in the PT Clinic<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI use Dycem to help train clients to balance and I use it as a marker on the floor for patients to walk in tandem gait\u201d<\/em> -Michael<\/p>\n

\u201cI use Dycem to keep hold of patients when mobilising, providing excellent grip for hard to hold onto areas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI use Dycem on parallel bars to improve grip and provide visual targets for where my patients\u2019 hands need to be.\u201d-<\/em> Katie<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve\u00a0seen Dycem being placed under a sliding board and transferring patients from bed to beside commode.\u201d-<\/em> Ann Cooper<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use Dycem all the time to put it under our wobble board and foam when we\u2019re doing balance activities, so people don\u2019t slide and fall.\u201d<\/em> – Amy<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my first clinic, I had a patient who literally\u00a0couldn’t\u00a0get out of bed without Dycem on the ground,\u00a0to prevent his feet from going out in front of him.\u201d<\/em> – Mike<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use it to help stabilise lower extremity bikes.\u201d<\/em> – Crystal Hollands<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use Dycem for a variety of things, including preventing platform steps from sliding on the floor.\u201d<\/em> – Erin<\/p>\n

\u201cI use it when we are doing upper extremity weight baring exercise, when we need their hand to stay in place, without slipping off.\u201d<\/em>– Loraine Steef<\/p>\n

\u201cI use Dycem products in the clinic and they are wonderful products particularly for sensory input.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI would use Dycem as a mat on a person\u2019s rollator\u201d<\/em> – Sue Hern<\/p>\n

\u201cI use Dycem to keep clients seated on a hand powered bike.\u201d-<\/em>\u00a0 Ann<\/p>\n

\u201cI use Dycem with stroke patients for holding a ball, so it\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0escape while the patient\u2019s hand is\u00a0still on it.\u201d-<\/em> \u00a0Rebecca Lusas<\/p>\n

\u201cI cut Dycem into footprint shapes, for client stair exercises.\u201d<\/em> – Todd Sanders<\/p>\n
