DETERMINING THE ORIGINS OF YOUR PAIN
starts hurting when you lift something heavy. But there are other situations in which pain develops, and the cause of the pain is unclear. No matter what the scenario is, your physical therapist can help you. When you meet with a physical therapist to determine where your pain may be coming from, the first thing you’ll do is have a conversation about it. Your therapist will likely want to know: 1. How long you’ve been experiencing your symptoms 2. Where it developed and where is it currently 3. What makes your pain better and what makes it worse 4. Consider whether or not your pain only happens at particular times of the day or year These distinctions can help shed some light on what may be causing your discomfort and direct the type of intervention you will need to resolve your problem. Our physical therapist will interpret what you tell them into what the body is trying to say to you! Regardless of where your pain is, how long you’ve been dealing with it, or how intense the pain feels, the intelligent thing to do when pain develops is to speak with a physical therapist. Working with a physical therapist can help you finally get a step ahead of your pain, finding treatment options that are designed to provide you with long-term relief instead of temporary relief from medication.
Have you been struggling with pain and aren’t even sure how it started? Have you gotten advice that doesn’t seem to help your pain? Physical therapists are trained in identifying and treating the source of your pain, allowing you to shift away from using pain medication to treat the symptoms. Different types of pain can tell you about your body and overall health. Sometimes, pain in your arm or your leg may have little to nothing to do with an actual issue in your arm or leg. Physical therapists are specialists in identifying the causes of pain. A physical therapist knows how the body’s systems work. This understanding makes it possible to identify the potential causes of pain, even if the pain is manifesting itself in an unusual or seemingly inexplicable way. Whether you are suffering from pain in your head, back, neck, or anywhere else in your body, working with a physical therapist can help you find the relief you are looking for.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PAIN
Sometimes pain develops at the exact moment you are doing something, and you can quickly identify the cause. A new pair of shoes may cause pain in your feet while walking, or your back

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU FIND RELIEF
IDENTIFYING THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR PAIN CAN BE DIFFICULT, WHICH MAKES IT CHALLENGING TO TREAT. Your therapists will determine and categorize your condition through a series of targeted questions, mobility tests, strength tests, and movement screens. This comprehensive assessment allows the therapist to establish what the likely source of your pain is and exactly how to resolve it. Every sensation you experience is associated with different types of problems, so describing your experience of pain may help determine the best treatment methods for your body’s needs. Our therapists will focus on providing the most effective strategy for relief. This systematic approach allows the therapist also to outline your path to recovery in a predictable way. The main emphasis of physical therapy is education about the likely source of your pain and instruction on effective techniques for relief. Our goals include: • Reduce pain quickly through targeted movements/stretches • Strengthening exercises to address weak muscles contributing to your pain • Return to normal functioning in daily activities • Education on how to avoid recurring pain (avoid painful postures and movements) • We focus on doing what helps you feel better and move better!

YUMMY RECIPE: SLOW-COOKER VEGETARIAN LASAGNA
INGREDIENTS: • 1 large egg • 16-oz part-skim ricotta • 5-oz package baby spinach, coarsely chopped • 3 large portobello mushroom caps, gills removed, halved and thinly sliced • 1 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced • 28-oz can crushed tomatoes
• 28-oz can diced tomatoes • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 1 pinch crushed red pepper (optional) • 12-oz whole-wheat lasagna noodles • 3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
INSTRUCTIONS: Combine egg, ricotta, spinach, mushrooms and zucchini in a large bowl. Combine crushed and diced tomatoes and their juice, garlic and crushed red pepper (if using) in a medium bowl. Generously coat a 6-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the tomato mixture in the slow cooker. Arrange 5 noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta-vegetable mixture over the noodles and firmly pat down, then spoon on 1 1/2 cups sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella. Repeat the layering one more time, starting with noodles. Top with a third layer of noodles. Evenly spread the remaining tomato sauce over the noodles.
