“Outdoor Activities Are Meant To Be Enjoyed Pain-Free!” DETERMINING THE ORIGIN OF YOUR PAIN
Sometimes it happens when a pain develops that you can immediately identify the cause. A new pair of shoes may cause a sharp pain in your heel, or an old chair at work may cause your back to grow sore and uncomfortable as time goes on. But there are other situations in which pain develops, and the cause of the pain is unclear. (continued inside)

Different types of bodily pain can tell you different things about your body and overall health. Sometimes, a 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 like well-trained detectives when it comes to identifying the causes of pain. A physical therapist knows the way that the nervous system works, making 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, your back, your neck or anywhere
else in your body, working with a physical therapist can help you find the relief you are looking for. Physical therapists are trained in identifying and treating the cause of your pain. This gives you the opportunity to shift away from the ongoing use of pain medication and find relief from your pain, with a series of strategies. These strategies include stretching, muscle building andflexibility training. Find out how you can relieve your aches and pain for good with our programs. Call us today for more information!

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PAIN
When you meet with a physical therapist to understand where your pain may be coming from, one of the first things you’ll do is have a conversation aboutyourpain.How longyou’vebeenexperiencingpain,where itdeveloped and how the pain manifests itself are all very important distinctions, that can help shed some light on what may be causing your discomfort. Here are a few things you may want to consider before heading into physical therapy: • Consider exactly where the pain occurs and research, what the different parts of the body are called, so that you can have an accurate and helpful conversation about your pain. For example, lumbar pain (which is in the lower back) is frequently caused by factors different from what would cause upper-back or neck pain. • How does the pain feel when it develops? Is it a lingering ache? Is it a sharp stab? Is it more of a tingling feeling? Each of these sensations is actually associated with different types of problems, so describing your pain appropriately may be helpful in determining the best treatment methods for your body’s needs. • What do you think may be causing the pain? You may be able to think of something that could be influencing it. If the pain started around the same time as a change in environment or life circumstances, then it is worth telling your physical therapist about the association. Another thing to consider about your pain is whether or not it develops at particular times of the day or year. There are plenty of situations when someone begins to experience pain when the weather starts to change, and it turns out that the pain is a result of arthritis and inflammation. There are other situations in which the pain will develop as a result of prolonged
sitting, standing, or when you are not getting as much sleep as usual. Considering any changes in your daily habits or environmental factors can be very helpful in determining what is causing your pain. Regardless of where your pain is, how long you’ve been dealing with it, or how intense the pain feels, the smart 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.

My range of motion is great!
“My story began after a work-related accident that tore various tendons in both shoulders.TheKinetix frontoffice teamwasvery friendlyandefficient ingettingme set up right away with my PT,Tony Cere. While awaiting surgery on my right arm, he made a plan to help with the pain I was having. Sleeping in bed was painful so I had to sleep in a recliner and couldn’t lift or reach. After surgery,Tony and his awesome PTA, Eric Nadler, helped me to regain range of motion. Lucky for me, Kinetix had just received the deep tissue laser, which became an integral part of my therapy, over the next several months. James used the laser while Tony simultaneously did the manual therapy and it really did help with the pain and allowed for better range of motion. When that arm was better, I had surgery on the left shoulder. Again, everyone at Kinetix was there to rehab both shoulders. Today, I had my final visit at Kinetix! My range of motion is great in both shoulders, I’m sleeping in a bed, and I can lift and reach. It’s been a long road to recovery, but I couldn’t imagine going to a more caring and knowledgeable team of professionals than Kinetix. Thanks to the entire Kinetix team!“ - Dan M.
