Have you struggled to stay motivated with your rehab? Are you finding it difficult to get the results you hoped for? At Regional Physical Therapy, our physical therapist understands persisting to the end of a lengthy rehabilitation process can be difficult. We are here to help and keep you on track to have the results you desire! For many people, persisting with physical therapy is challenging.

We know it’s no easy task to stay motivated when you’re in pain, so we are committed to providing you with the education and support to empower you to stay motivated, engaged, and dedicated to your healing journey!

HOW TO GET THE RESULTS YOU WANT
If you’re in physical therapy, it’s most likely because you’re struggling to do things you love without experiencing pain. Maybe you have back issues that keep you from playing sports, or perhaps you’ve been dealing with ankle pain that hinders your ability to walk and run errands without pain. No matter the reason, you can take steps to ensure results. Too often, people wait and hope things will get better. Don’t put off dealing with something small, or risk the chance it becomes big! Getting started sooner leads to faster results. Achieving results depends on persistence. Fortunately, our physical therapists understand what motivates people to persist and get the results they are looking for. Physical therapy helps people resolve their present condition and improves their overall health.
HERE ARE A FEW RESEARCH-BACKED WAYS TO GET RESULTS:
Understanding your condition: One of the essential factors in achieving results is knowing the condition you are dealing with. Identifying the source of the problems is one of the most critical factors. Our therapists perform comprehensive evaluations to determine your overall health status and all the factors contributing to your condition. Our team will educate you to understand what is going on and how to resolve the issues contributing to your condition. Knowing the expected duration of your presenting symptoms: Too often, the practitioners in healthcare are rushed for time and forget to mention what you should expect regarding your condition. The peace of mind alone can help people commit to getting the results they want. It is also helpful when things don’t pan out as anticipated because it will lead to more investigation and identification of solutions. Experiencing improvements: Nothing helps quite as much as feeling better. Results help keep us motivated and spark new engagement after a plateau. In rehabilitation, patient satisfaction is most substantial when people experience symptom resolution and improved function. Our team works with you to ensure you improve!
INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH AT REGIONALPT.COM
Challenge yourself: This may sound counterintuitive, but recent research shows that if something is too easy, we lose interest, and if it is too difficult or impossible, we give up before trying. Pushing ourselves, so 15% of the time, we struggle or even fail is the sweet spot for improvement. Your physical therapist will progress your program to ensure you are moving forward and, at the same time, challenging, so you get optimal results! If you’re feeling discouraged during physical therapy, set goals for yourself by making a list of all the activities you’ll be able to do once you’ve advanced in your treatment. Keeping a physical therapy progress journal can be a great way to track your progress over time. Try writing down your pain symptoms at the beginning of treatment, and track the exercises and stretches you do every day. You’ll be surprised at how far you’ve come, especially if you notice you aren’t experiencing the same levels of pain you were before treatment!

SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO
Ingredients: • 4 lb. spaghetti squash • 1/4 tsp. salt
• 3 tbsp. butter • 1 c. Parmesan cheese • 4 tbsp. shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 tsp. pepper • 1 c. half and half
Directions: Scoop out and discard seeds from spaghetti squash halves. Prick outsides all over with a sharp knife; season insides with 1/4 teaspoon with each salt and pepper. Microwave, cut sides down, on a large microwave-safe plate on high 10 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat half-and-half and butter to simmering on medium-low; simmer 5 minutes, or until reduced slightly, then whisk in finely grated Parmesan cheese. With a fork, scrape the flesh of each squash half to separate into strands, leaving a 1/2-inch border on sides; divide sauce among halves and top each with 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbly and browned in spots. Optional: Serve with a green salad.
