Too many people are waiting longer than they have to get help for pain.

The Pain Perspective, Confluent Health's study on chronic pain and musculoskeletal care, found that many patients wished they’d known physical therapy was an option sooner.

And here’s something you may not realize: in many states, you can start PT without a physician referral, depending on state laws and insurance coverage.

Pain doesn’t always have to be something you just “live with.” Know your options. 💜

At just 12 years old, Alexis went from playing soccer and competing in gymnastics to barely being able to get off the couch.

After tearing her meniscus in an accident last summer, so much of the life she knew suddenly stopped. She couldn’t play the sports she loved, participate in activities at school or even take the stairs. For a kid who just wanted to get back to being a kid, it was a lot to lose.

Then came physical therapy.

At our Washington Township clinic, Alexis found a team that gave her a path forward. With Brooke Cowling, PT, DPT, in her corner, she worked hard week after week to rebuild her strength, regain her mobility and fight her way back to the things that made her feel like herself again.

About four months later, Alexis was back to sports—and even made it back in time to compete at an important gymnastics competition in Miami. 🤸

But somewhere along the way, something else happened. The place Alexis came to because she had to became somewhere she genuinely looked forward to going. There were plenty of laughs, encouragement and, of course, her favorite: stool races against the staff. In Alexis's words, Brooke "made a huge difference in my life."

Alexis, watching you get back to soccer, gymnastics, school and simply being a 12-year-old again is exactly why we do what we do. We're incredibly proud of you and grateful we got to be part of your comeback. 💛

🚨 Backpack check! 🚨 Did you know 96% of school-aged children carry backpacks that are too heavy?
Before your kids head off to school, take a quick look inside their backpack.
A few small adjustments can go a long way:
- Wear both straps.
- Keep it close to the body.
- Pack heavier items closest to their back and the top.
- Clean out unnecessary items often.
Because the only thing your child should be carrying this school year is confidence—not unnecessary back pain.
Is your child is experiencing ongoing back, neck, or shoulder pain? PT can help!
