PHYSICAL THERAPY IS AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR YOUR NECK PAIN
Physical therapists can target your pain’s source by examining your symptoms. Then, they can offer exercises that stretch and/or relax your neck muscles. Manual techniques, like Myofascial release, are used to alleviate your pain and allow you to tolerate stretching. A custom-tailored program of neck exercises will ensure your neck stays loose, limber, and healthy. Your physical therapist can also teach you how to arrange your working environment ergonomically and recommend various postural changes. Such changes may include: • When standing and sitting, be sure your shoulders are in a straight line over your hips and your ears are directly over your shoulders. • Adjust your desk, chair and computer so that the monitor is at eye level. Knees should be slightly lower than hips. Use your chair’s armrests. • Avoid tucking the phone between your ear and shoulder when you talk. Use a headset or speakerphone instead.
We would like to congratulate our physical therapist Apoorva on her well-deserved promotion to Director of Reddy-Care’s Woodbury location! We do not doubt that she will excel in this new role. It is also great to know that Apoorva will continue to be a part of our team at the Farmingdale location, even in her new role.
