Summer is around the corner…no really it is; it has to be! 🥴😅☀️

Do you have that pesky knee, ankle or other injury that always seems to slow you down from projects, hiking or other Summer activity? Don’t risk it becoming a burden or getting worse; it may be more simple to treat than you think! Maybe it’s the shoe wear, maybe it’s a small discrepancy that can be treated and addressed.

Summer is busy; we know! After your evaluation, we can work with you to determine a treatment plan/approach that best aligns with life. We often set up programs where clients have spaced out visits to check in or update their program. Physical therapy plans are different for everybody and they should be as tailored needs is what makes it successful.

Let us know how we can help make this Summer an amazing one! Sun? Ok, Sun dances activated! 🌞 💃🏽 🕺🏽

Yes! We see this happen often - resolution of pain and symptoms with conservative care.
Disc herniations don’t have to mean pain and limitations. They also don’t have to mean surgery!

💡Did you know a majority of tears and image findings DO NOT require surgery?

💡MRI/Xray results like ”severe” or “large” tears or even “advanced” arthritis do not mean surgery is the solution or even advised.

💡Research has shown time and time again that a conservative treatment plan catered to your impairments, symptoms and findings can lead to similar or even better results.

💡This is also true for tears of tissue that “don’t heal.” Having a tear or arthritis does not have to equal pain and limitation. Weakness, stiffness, instability, nerve sensitivity, neuromuscular dysfunction and imbalances are often the culprits of this.

💡In cases where surgery is indicated, we all know that the stronger one goes in, the better they come out.

💡In fact, MRIs and imaging often are not the first line of action. So much can be done to begin healing. Waiting and doing nothing is not the answer.

💡Come see us; we would love to perform a thorough evaluation and answer your questions to see if you’re a good candidate for physical therapy!

♥️When we get feedback/reviews that reflect experiences on both of these levels, it reminds us that quality care cannot be one of these things without the other.
