THE TREATMENT PLAN AT REDDY CARE PHYSICAL, OCCUPATIONAL, & AQUATIC THERAPY
Sarah’s physical therapist developed a tailored treatment plan to address her posture-related issues. The program incorporated various techniques and treatments commonly used by physical therapists to improve posture: • Postural Education: The therapist educated Sarah about maintaining proper alignment during everyday activities. She learned to sit and stand with a straight back, aligning her head with her spine. • Exercises: Sarah was given a set of exercises to strengthen her neck, upper back, and core muscles while stretching tight muscles. These exercises were designed to address muscle imbalances contributing to her poor posture. • Manual Therapy: During therapy sessions, her physical therapist used manual techniques to mobilize Sarah’s spine and alleviate muscle tension. These hands-on interventions helped improve joint mobility and relieve pain. • Ergonomic Assessment: The therapist provided Sarah with recommendations for her workplace setup and how to make adjustments to promote better posture. Sarah’s journey to better posture was not without its challenges. It required commitment, consistency, and a willingness to change her daily routine. However, over time, she began to experience significant improvements. As Sarah diligently followed her exercise routine and ergonomic recommendations, her neck and shoulder pain gradually subsided. She felt more alert and focused at work, which increased productivity. Her improved mood and reduced stress levels were additional benefits of her posture-enhancing journey.

“I’ve been coming here for a few weeks. I came in with horrific shoulder and neck pain, and now I’m feeling great! I’ve been to many therapy places in the past, and most only spend about five minutes actually working on you. That’s not the case here. You get as much dedicated time as you need. They treat you like family, and they are extremely knowledgeable.” - JB
