We are physical therapists who specialize in combining hands-on ostepathic based care with our own specialized biomechanical, re-education exercises. We treat musculoskeletal problems, including back, neck, headache, and extremity pain. We have a well equipped fitness area for general rehabilitation and exercise.
Pain brings most people to Brian P. Lambert PT physical therapy. Other reasons include restrictions in movement of muscles or joints, poor posture, poor single leg balance, muscle weakness, or need for rehabilitation following an accident or orthopedic surgery.
Our understanding is that chiropractors use manipulation of the spine to alleviate pain that is either near the spine or referred into the extremities. Our physical therapists use manual therapy and exercise to treat dysfunctional areas of the body to relieve pain and restore strength and flexibility. Physical Therapists at Brian P. Lambert, PT, teach their patients our own special combination of exercises to achieve these goals. These exercises can easily be done at home or in a health club setting. We use manual therapy techniques derived from osteopathic teachings.
The therapists at Brian P. Lambert, PT, systematically evaluate patients for biomechanical and/or functional faults . We assess how a person uses his or her body during daily activities. The therapists use manual techniques in conjunction with an independent exercise program. We work towards improving flexibility, posture, and strength and recruitment of appropriate muscles. We correct faulty movement patterns which tend to perpetuate pain and lead to excessive wear and tear of the joints. Treatment sessions are one-on-one: we treat patients one at a time.
Generally apply ice within the first 72 hours following a sprain or strain. This will help control pain and inflammation. After 72 hours use heat or ice, depending on which provides the most pain relief.
Manual therapy refers to techniques that are applied to the body to restore mobility in the restricted areas of the musculoskeletal system. Massage is a form of manual therapy used to address soft tissue including muscles or their tendonous attachments to bone. Osteopathic techniques are a form of manual therapy applied to correct mechanical dysfunctions in the musculoskeletal system.
A modality is a therapeutic procedure used to control pain and/or reduce inflammation. Modalities we use include hot and cold packs, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation. Exercise and manual therapy are also considered "modalities."
Ultrasound is high frequency sound waves that produce mechanical and thermal effects in soft tissue. The frequency of the sound waves is different from that of diagnostic ultrasound, and therapeutic ultrasound does not generate a picture. We use ultrasound to gently warm deep soft tissue. The temperature increase within soft tissue is generally one to two degrees. This increases circulation and makes the tissue more pliable.
You should not cancel your appointment if you have not followed through with your exercises. The exercises are very important and are integral to your recovery. Keep your appointment. We reassess the need for further manual therapy and review and reinforce the home exercises.
During your initial session you will be instructed in each exercise that you need. We will explain the necessity of the exercise and the specific details of executing the exercise. You will receive an exercise sheet, with notations, specific to your needs. We will review your home exercises at each visit. Between sessions we can schedule brief appointments for reviews if needed.
The Early Childhood Commission, Kingston Jamaica (2018-2019). Psychometrician in charge norming the Family Support Screening Tool created to identify strengths and difficulties in families with children from birth through early education years. Designed the psychometric research project including the research design. Conduct the necessary psychometric data analyses, wrote technical report and test administration manual.
Victims Support Division, Ministry of Justice, Kingston, Jamaica. Psychometrician in charge of modifying and norming the Missing Children Risk Assessment Tool designed to be administered to adolescents ages 11-17 to assess adolescents at risk for going missing. Reviewed the existing tool, conducted literature search to modify and add items to the tool. Consulted with local experts who reviewed the tool, suggested modifications, and additional items that should be added the tool. Designed data collection procedures to collect data on 1,200 adolescents nation-wide. Conduct the necessary psychometric data analyses, wrote technical report and test administration manual.

The Schmidt net is a manual drafting method for the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection using graph paper. It results in one lateral hemisphere of the Earth with the grid of parallels and meridians. The method is common in geoscience.
In the figure, the area-preserving property of the projection can be seen by comparing a grid sector near the center of the net with one at the far right of the net. The two sectors have the same area on the sphere and the same area on the disk. The angle-distorting property can be seen by examining the grid lines; most of them do not intersect at right angles on the Schmidt net. A single Schmidt net can only represent one hemisphere of the earth; typically a pair of Schmidt nets is used to represent both sides of the globe.
It is relatively simple to re-plot a gridded map of the world onto a Schmidt net if the azimuth is chosen to be the junction of the equator with any particular meridian from the world-map's grid. Each grid square surrounding this chosen longitude is simply re-plotted into the corresponding distorted grid-square in the Schmidt net. Points of latitude-longitude can be plotted relative to the azimuth's longitude, interpolating between grid lines in the Schmidt net. For greater accuracy, it is helpful to have a net with finer spacing than 10; spacings of 2 are common.
The Schmidt net is not an appropriate grid for representing the Earth's northern or southern hemisphere (because the lines would not correspond to meridians or parallels in such a projection). However, it can be used as a scalar measuring device for projecting latitude-longitude points onto a blank circle of the same size, to produce a Lambert equal-area projection with the azimuth at the north or south pole. The intersection of the parallels with the outer circle can be used as a de facto protractor for plotting a point's longitude as the angle in the polar projection. The Schmidt net's horizontal axis can then be used as a scalar measuring device to convert the point's latitude (relative to the pole) into a radial distance from the centre of the circle. Alternatively, the Schmidt net could be replaced entirely with a correctly projected polar grid, and grid squares from a map re-drawn into this disc.
Researchers in structural geology use the Lambert azimuthal projection to plot lineation and foliation in rocks, slickensides in faults, and other linear and planar features. In this context the projection is called the equal-area hemispherical projection. The Schmidt net is often used to sketch out the Lambert azimuthal projection for these purposes.[1] Conversely, the Wulff net ("equal-angle projection") is used to plot crystallographic axes and faces.

Charlee Lambert was recognized as a leader in her career as a playwright, director and advocate for the elderly. Her papers contain plays, short stories, manuals, news clippings and audio visual material (1955-2013) documenting the production of her plays locally and nationally.
Processed by Caitlin Reeves at the item level, July 2015. The collection had some organizational order upon receipt, and that original order was respected as the Special Collections staff brought together materials of similar subject matter. The oversize items in this collection are housed separately.
