As a physical therapist, I want families to know that a fall isn’t always the first sign that something is changing. ⚠️

Sometimes, I look for smaller changes in the way someone moves.

In this video, I’m demonstrating 3 signs I want you to pay attention to:
1. Veering off course while walking
2. Having more difficulty going from sitting to standing
3. Bumping into walls or surroundings while walking

These moments may seem small, especially when your parent or loved one is still independent.

But if you start noticing changes in their balance or the way they navigate everyday spaces, I don’t want you to simply wait for a fall to happen.

💙 Notice how they’re moving now.

If you’ve been thinking, “Mom or Dad seems a little different lately,” trust yourself enough to start the conversation.

You don’t have to wait for a fall to pay attention.

“I’m fine.”
Sometimes your parent really does feel fine.
There may be no major injury. No fall. No significant pain that makes them think something needs attention.

But as their son, daughter, spouse, or loved one, you may notice something has changed.
Maybe they’re walking a little slower.

They sit down sooner when you’re out together.

They use the railing when they didn’t before.
Or they’re participating less in activities they used to enjoy.

These changes can happen gradually, which makes them easy to adjust to or dismiss.

During Physical Therapy Awareness Month, I want families to think beyond one question:
“Are you in pain?”

Also pay attention to how your loved one is moving, participating, and navigating everyday life.

You know what their normal looks like.
Sometimes, that makes you one of the first people who can recognize when something is beginning to change.

💙 Notice the change. Start the conversation.

POV : You’re a physical therapist, who loves playing pickleball. One of the reasons I talk so much about staying active is because I want to keep doing the things I enjoy, too. 💙

For me, one of those things is pickleball.
It gets me moving, challenges my balance and coordination, keeps me active, and, most importantly, it’s fun.

As a physical therapist, I spend a lot of time helping people think about what they want their bodies to keep allowing them to do.
But I ask myself the same question.

What do I want to still be doing years from now?

I want to move well. I want to stay strong. I want to play pickleball, travel, spend time with the people I love, and have the freedom to say “yes” to the activities that bring me joy.

That’s why I don’t think of movement as something we only focus on when something hurts.

It’s something we invest in so we can continue participating in our lives.

And sometimes, staying healthy can look a lot like grabbing a paddle and having a good time. 😊🏓

💙 Keep moving. Keep doing what you love.

Sometimes, you notice the change before they do. ❤️

Mom still gets around on her own. Dad still says, “I’m fine.” But lately, something feels a little different.

Maybe they’re holding onto the railing more. Taking longer to stand. Resting sooner during family outings. Or choosing to stay home when they would normally come along.

One small change may not seem significant. But when you start noticing a pattern in how your loved one moves or participates in everyday life, it’s worth paying attention.

You don’t have to wait for a fall or significant pain to start the conversation.

This Physical Therapy Awareness Month, pay attention to what’s changing, not only what hurts. 💙

Sometimes, you notice the change before they do. ❤️

Mom doesn’t walk quite as far. Dad pauses after his golf round. They’re still active and independent, but something feels a little different.

Those small changes are worth noticing.

The earlier you notice a change, the more options they may have to address it and keep doing what they love.

You don’t have to wait until pain makes the decision for them.

💙 If you’ve noticed a loved one moving differently lately, start the conversation.

You don’t have to be injured for your movement to deserve attention. ⚠️

That back stiffness you keep brushing off. The activity you’ve started avoiding. The way you’re moving differently just to stay comfortable... those changes matter too.

Physical therapy isn’t only about recovering after an injury. It can help identify changes in strength, mobility, balance, and movement before they start limiting your everyday life.

Reclaim a fulfilling time without physical limitations.

October is Physical Therapy Awareness Month 💙 and this month, we want you to pay a little more attention to how you move.

Not just when something hurts, but when everyday things start to feel different.

Ask yourself:

What feels harder than it used to?

What takes you a little longer?

What activities have you started avoiding?

What have you stopped doing altogether?

Sometimes changes in movement happen so gradually that we simply adjust around them. We take the shorter walk. Use the railing more. Skip an activity. Tell ourselves, “Maybe next time.”

But those small changes are worth noticing.

As a physical therapist, I can coach you to understand the changes in your strength, balance, mobility, and movement, to help you continue doing the things that make life meaningful.

This October, don’t just pay attention to pain.

💙 Pay attention to movement. Pay attention to what’s changing.

TESTIMONIAL WEDNESDAY: Sometimes the biggest win isn’t just feeling less pain. It’s realizing how much better you feel overall. 💙

After a shoulder injury, Charles decided to take a proactive approach instead of simply hoping the discomfort would go away.

Through personalized exercises, attention to proper form, and consistent progress check-ins with Dr. Makkeda, he noticed changes that went beyond his shoulder:
✨ More energy

😴 Better sleep

🚶🏽 Greater ease with movement

💙 Improved overall well-being
His words say it best: “I now feel more energized, sleep better, and move with greater ease.”

What if the biggest warning sign isn’t pain, but your life getting smaller?

You stop taking the longer walk.

You turn down plans because you’re worried you’ll be uncomfortable.

Golf, gardening, exercise, or even errands start feeling like “too much.”

Eventually, staying home feels easier.

It can happen gradually enough that you don’t realize how much you’ve adjusted your life around the way your body feels.

That’s why paying attention to what you’ve stopped doing can be just as important as paying attention to pain.

💙 Physical therapy can help you better understand what’s changing and work toward maintaining the movement and independence that keep you connected to the life you enjoy.

Don’t wait until “I’ll sit this one out” becomes your new normal.
