Exercise of the Month
Standing March
Start by standing up straight (place both hands on the back of a chair for support if needed). Slowly lift one knee up towards the ceiling until it reaches hip height and then lower it back down. Do the same with the other leg keeping the abdominals contracted the whole time. Repeat exercise 10 times.
Relieve Your Arthritis Pain with Physical Therapy
Health & Wellness Newsletter
Do you wake up with stiff joints and find it difficult to get moving in the morning? Do you notice your hands have a dull or burning pain, especially after periods of increased use, such as gripping or grasping? You may be experiencing arthritic pain.
Fortunately, at (Practice Name), our physical therapists can teach you how to improve your motion and manage your pain!
Arthritis is one of the leading causes of disability across the United States, affecting tens of millions of people every day. While it is possible for arthritis to develop in any joint, it most commonly affects the neck, back, hands, hips, and knees. Arthritis can range from mild to severe, and severe cases can lead to chronic pain and impact your quality of life.
At (Practice Name), our therapists can help identify the severity of your condition and provide you with guidance on resolving your pain, restoring your motion, and getting back to living the life you enjoy!
What Causes Back Pain?
The first step in treating your back pain is understanding what’s contributing to it. Our therapists will perform a comprehensive evaluation to help us learn as much as possible about your experience with back pain, including screening for any mobility limitations or weakness you’re struggling with.
Why (Practice Name) Is Your Back Pain Solution
While back pain often resolves on its own within 1-3 months, physical therapy is an excellent choice for people with particularly intense pain or extremely restrictive mobility. It’s also useful for people with chronic back pain — defined as pain that lingers past that three-month mark.
We customize all our back pain treatment plans according to your specific needs: the location and severity of your back pain, any mobility restrictions, your ability level, and overall goals. We’ll work to address the underlying issues causing your pain rather than simply masking the symptoms.
How will we do this? Through a blend of the following techniques:
- Manual therapy helps manage pain, promote blood circulation, and improve mobility.
- A personalized therapeutic exercise plan improves the strength, flexibility, and endurance of your back and core muscles. Muscle weakness significantly contributes to lower back pain, so exercise is a must.
- Specialized training, such as proper techniques and activities that simulate functional movements you’ll need to perform (i.e., squats, lunges, lifting, etc.).
- Prevention strategies help reduce future back pain incidents. These strategies might include postural corrections or suggestions for at-home exercises, such as a walking program or regular strength and mobility practice.
Our Patients Get Great Results
