Who hasn’t had a little back pain here and there? Especially when you sit at a computer or are on your phone for extended periods. But how do you fix it? It’s a question we get a lot. So we asked a physical therapist what they would do in your situation.

From improving your chair setup to implementing gentle stretch breaks, you can do a few things at home or work. But if it’s not getting better in a week or so, that’s when you call us.

A recent study found that women experience two periods where aging speeds up. First, around age 44, and again around age 60.

Recovery is when your body adapts and becomes stronger from the demands of exercise. While many people focus on workouts, recovery is equally important for performance, injury prevention and long-term health. Adequate sleep, hydration, nutrition, mobility work and appropriate rest help muscles repair, restore energy and prepare the body for future activity. Without proper recovery, fatigue can accumulate and increase the risk of pain, injury and decreased performance.

If pain, soreness or physical limitations are preventing you from staying active, a physical therapist can help identify what's slowing your recovery and develop a plan to get you back to doing what you enjoy. To schedule a physical therapy evaluation, go to: https://bit.ly/46FJsF6

Heather Cardena had a mammogram two weeks after her 36th birthday. The mother of two active young boys was shocked when the results came back: breast cancer. And it had spread to one lymph node.

“I knew I needed to be the mom those boys deserve,” Heather said. “This isn’t a journey that they chose; this is something that I just have to deal with.”

The good news is, Heather didn’t have to deal with it alone. With the help of physical therapy and our ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation program, she was able to regain energy and get back to lifting her children again. Even with surgery and an aggressive chemotherapy regimen, ReVital helped her get through treatment while minimizing side effects.

Heather gets choked up thinking about how far she has come, especially when she talks about the moment she was finally able to pick up her youngest son again.

“To get to a place where I was able to hold him again, that first time was definitely very emotional,” she shared. “It was definitely one of the happier moments of this journey.

Living with chronic pain is scary and common — whether it’s low back, shoulder, knee, head (migraines), neck or hip pain.

But here’s the thing about chronic pain from our latest blog that may be truly shocking: The mental and emotional component can actually limit your physical recovery.

And the really surprising part is that physical therapy doesn’t just help with the physical part. Structured and supervised movement from physical therapy can help your brain realize that you can move without extreme pain, giving you the power to keep going, which is crucial for proper and lasting improvement. It’s a positive feedback loop for your body.

There’s so much more to treating chronic pain, so read the blog to see how long treatment usually takes and whether you have any “red flags” that could affect your treatment plan. https://bit.ly/4rHAJw9

Breast cancer can change everything — how you move, how you feel and how you navigate everyday life.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we honor every person facing breast cancer and every survivor continuing their journey. This month is about more than pink ribbons. It’s about supporting patients at every stage of treatment and recovery. Recovery looks different for everyone, but no one should have to face the challenges alone.

Our ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation program helps patients manage treatment-related side effects, regain strength and function and return to the activities that matter most, whether it’s returning to the dance floor, getting back to work or being more present with your loved ones.

We're proud to stand beside patients every step of the way.

October is National Physical Therapy Month! We asked our therapists: "What do you wish every patient knew about physical therapy?" From dispelling major myths to sharing true words of inspiration and encouragement, they did not disappoint.

Whether it’s sports injuries, joint pain, pelvic health, cancer rehabilitation or specialty care, our dedicated therapists put their skills to work to help you move better, heal faster and get back to what you love.

Join us throughout the month in thanking physical therapists for their vital role in helping patients restore mobility, reduce pain and regain independence.
