Robert Kappes Bio

The reason I became a physiotherapist was to help people. When I was young I participated in competitive baseball and was hurt many times. My parents like any parent saw my potential and encouraged me to pursue a career in the sport. This meant searching out the best therapists in our area anytime I was injured. I vividly remember one experience that changed the way I saw health care. I was 17 years old and I hurt my shoulder during one of my games. My parents got word that this sports medicine doctor that treated Olympic athletes would take me on and start my rehab. Excited I showed up to my first appointment. The doctor spent 5 minutes with me asked me a few questions and told me to come back to do physio 3x/week. My mother worked for the school board and had unlimited physiotherapy so this was great. My first visit back to the facility I checked in to the front desk and they told me to go to the basement and do all the workout machines down there and let her know when I was done. So without being shown anything I went down and did all the machines and came back up 20 mins later. After that they put me in a room for 20 minutes on the IFC machine. I did this for an agonizing 2 months without even seeing a physiotherapist!!! I did all the rehab on my own and all they did was put heat and a machine on me. I had a follow up once a month with the doctor where he said I just needed to do more exercises; and this was from the “Best” physiotherapy clinic around. This experience reminded me that just because a clinic has beautiful decor, expensive equipment and other perks doesn’t make them good physiotherapists. It was shortly after this experience that I decided to pursue the goal of becoming a physiotherapist so that I can truly make a positive difference in people’s lives. Those values still hold true for me today. I value integrity and respect by providing each patient with the quality compassionate care that was not given to me in my time of need. So although I never made a career out of baseball I have truly found my passion in life to provide ongoing support to people and help as many people as possible achieve their full health potential. And I share this same passion with all of the wonderfully talented and passionate people below who share in the company’s vision.

Sciatic pain or sciatica is a common symptom rather than a specific diagnosis. It refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the buttocks and into the legs. This pain can vary in intensity and location, but it typically affects one side of the body.

The sciatic nerve can be irritated or compressed due to various underlying causes. Some common reasons for sciatic pain include:

  1. Lumbar disc herniation: When the gel-like material inside a spinal disc protrudes or leaks out and presses on the nerve roots, it can cause sciatic pain.

  2. Spinal stenosis: This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the sciatic nerve roots.

  3. Piriformis syndrome: The piriformis muscle, located in the buttock region, can sometimes irritate or compress the sciatic nerve, resulting in similar symptoms to sciatica.

  4. Spondylolisthesis: This occurs when a vertebra slips out of place and puts pressure on the nerve roots that make up the sciatic nerve.

  5. Muscle imbalances or tightness: Issues such as muscle imbalances, poor posture, or tightness in the muscles surrounding the spine and pelvis can contribute to sciatic pain.

  6. Trauma or injury: Accidents or injuries that affect the lower back or buttocks can lead to sciatic pain.

It's crucial to consult a physiotherapist or healthcare professional for a thorough assessment when experiencing sciatic pain. They will evaluate your symptoms, perform physical examinations, and may request imaging tests to identify the specific cause of your pain. Based on the findings, an appropriate treatment plan can be developed, which may include exercises, manual therapy, pain management techniques, and lifestyle modifications.

Remember, each case of sciatic pain is unique, and the treatment approach may vary depending on the underlying cause. A professional assessment will help determine the most effective strategies to alleviate pain, promote healing, and prevent future episodes.
