Everyone develops aches and pains from time to time. After a long day running around or after an afternoon of trying to keep up with household chores, sometimes the tasks that we expect of our bodies can get the best of us. Whether it is a lingering ache in your back, tired and swollen feet, or a crick in your neck that just won’t go away, dealing with aches and pains can really take a toll on your overall feeling of wellbeing. Fortunately, physical therapy can help you find relief. At Breckenridge Physical Therapy, our licensed physical therapists are equipped with the necessary knowledge and resources to help you live your daily life comfortably!

HOW WILL PHYSICAL THERAPY BENEFIT ME? There are a lot of different reasons as to why you may start feeling aches and pains. Muscle pain will occur whenever your muscles start to grow. To build more muscle mass, your muscles have to stretch, and lactic acid can pour into the lining of your muscles, resulting in pain. More movement will push that acid out, providing relief. In time, your muscles will develop increased elasticity, and the pain won’t be so severe. Build-up of tension from stress or overuse, and muscle pain from poor posture can also contribute to discomfort. A physical therapist can take a comprehensive assessment to help determine what may be the primary cause behind your aches and pains.

How Can I Deal With Aches And Pains On My Own? In addition to your physical therapy plan, there are steps you can take on your own to help ease your discomfort. Pain medications can reduce the severity of aches and pains for a little while, but they don’t do anything to resolve the issue. By following some of these tips, you can find relief at home and decrease the likelihood that your aches and pains will return: 1. Use hot and cold therapy appropriately to reduce inflammation. After a good workout or a day of doing chores out in the yard, your muscles will likely feel sore. Apply ice directly to the area that hurts, on and off for 20 minutes at a time, during the first 24-72 hours after the pain develops. After that, consider soaking in hot water, such as taking a warm bath, in order to further soothe your muscles. 2. Don’t underestimate the power of resting! Your body relies on sleep just as much as your brain. You need to get plenty of sleep to keep your stress level at a minimum—and that includes your physical stress level. Aim to sleep between 7-9 hours every night. The more activity you engage in, the more sleep you need.

more, but exercise is a really good way to reduce aches and pains. When you exercise every day, you are able to train your muscles for more movement, and thereby reduce the development of aches and pains. Keeping active, staying rested, and implementing hot and cold therapy create a trifecta for healthy management of aches and pains. However, physical therapy is still a smart choice. When aches and pains start to grow severe, or chronic, then it is time to reach out to a professional for support. Physical therapy is the best way to reduce aches and pains because it takes into account a combination of active and passive strategies to help tackle the cause of your pain. Relief begins with us: Working with a physical therapist can help you develop a new approach to managing your aches and pains. Your physical therapy program will likely take into account strategies like deep tissue massage, guided stretching, and targeted movements to help you experience ongoing relief from your discomfort.

I absolutely love this place! It’s a family owned business and they’re very attentive to clients needs. They have a great space which includes both physical therapy and personal training. I recently visited for physical therapy to get some help with my IT Band issues. Rashmi really helped me with my injury with acknowledging where my weaknesses were and giving exercises to strengthen and stretches to relieve tightness. Thanks to the Vert family and Rashmi I’m back to running again. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. - Nicole L
