Physical therapists get you back to life!

You wake up in the morning and there is that stiffness, that pain that will follow you around all day! Your hope of having a good day is now changed to the feeling of having to put up with the pain! You will be frustrated again for another day!

It is easy to take for granted the function of our bodies until we experience pain or an injury and we no longer feel normal. Most of us have experienced this frustration, so it is easy to determine that movement is essential to our everyday lives.

Did you know physical therapists serve people across a diverse spectrum including:

• Those who experience neck or back pain

• Those with low back pain and hip pain to restore function and movement

• Athletes recovering from an injury

• Those with cardiac involvement to improve endurance and achieve independence

• Patients with diabetes to enable them to participate in physical activity

• Those undergoing a surgical procedure to restore and improve movement

• Women during pregnancy to relieve pain

• Those with cancer to regain strength and relieve discomfort

• Infants and children to aid in motor development

• Plus more...

Physical therapists promote overall health and fitness. A recent study published by the British Journal of Sports Medicine (March 11, 2008) shows that aerobic fitness through the middle-ages could delay biological aging by 12 years. The study also showed that aerobic exercise improves the body's oxygen consumption and its ability to generate energy. Stephen Tepper, PT, Ph.D., identified, "this study is particularly relevant because it shows a direct correlation between regular exercise and longer life expectancy."
