Have you or someone you know struggled to live a full, active lifestyle as you/he/she aged?
Do you or someone you know constantly suffer from any of the following:- sore neck
- sore shoulder
- low back pain
- knee pain
- balance issues, or a myriad of other musculoskeletal issues?
Do these issues limit your/their capacity to visit families, attend community events, or travel?
There is an epidemic of musculoskeletal pain and decreased mobility plaguing our society today! But there is hope – HELP IS AVAILABLE!! It comes from a source that is widely underutilized and misunderstood. Most people do not realize that a physical therapist is most likely the specialist they need to maintain a more active lifestyle with less pain and fewer balance problems.
In fact...
Most people learn about physical therapy AFTER they have visited their doctor with excruciating shoulder pain, low back pain, knee pain, or other musculoskeletal issues.
Physical Therapy usually comes after:
- injections
- medications
- and, in some, cases surgeries.
While this type of post injury physical rehabilitation is certainly within a physical therapist’s skill set; most people would do much better to find a physical therapist before these more severe problems develop.
What is a Physical Therapist?
Physical Therapists are clinical doctors trained to assess the human movement system including the joints, muscles, neuromuscular control, and the patterns of movement essential for good health and function of our bodies.
Without these essential patterns, dysfunctional patterns may become prevalent and lead to excessive wear and tear on the body and, eventually, injury. By assessing the human movement system holistically, we can often pinpoint areas that need improvement to avoid costly surgeries and chronic overuse of medications.
We advocate that people see a physical therapist for prevention - similar to the way people typically see their dentist. People typically see their dentist to maintain teeth and gum health. Physical Therapists should be seen to maintain quality movement, patterns, and to avoid excessive wear and tear or injuries that limit active lifestyles.
