“Your goal is their goal!” -Sheila
Meet Ms. Sheila. She came to us with severe back pain and unable to do the things she wanted to do. She is now able to do the things she loves, which even includes getting back to riding her motorcycle. Ms. Sheila is 70 and doesn’t let that stop her. She thinks the same way we do, age is just a number and we shouldn’t let that number limit us. Staying active and keeping moving is so important at every age, she is a perfect example of that - check out her pictures below and how great she is at stretching out her hamstrings. She can touch the wall behind her! WOW! Here is Ms. Sheila’s story in her own words; “I would like to start by saying thank you to all the team here at Lonoke Physical Therapy, they are wonderful and caring. It all started when my back got to hurting so bad I couldn’t get out of the bed good or do any of my work. I was almost in tears from pain. Okay, it’s time for the doctor. I had a CAT scan done and he said he could send me to a surgeon. I asked if he thought physical therapy would help. His answer was, you can try it for four weeks and see if you would like it. That’s just what I did. It was hard at first, but IT WORKED wonderful. I can do all my work
now and no pain. I am now able to bend over and pick up limbs and do my yard work without pain. Vacuuming and house work are no longer difficult and I can get out of the recliner, car, bed, etc. easier and without pain. I am 70 years old and have learned a valuable lesson. For two years I stopped exercising, that was the wrong thing to do. I now know you will always have to exercise or lose flexibility. They taught me the exercises I need to keep doing for my back. Here at LPT your goal is their goal and it’s very important to them. They all enjoy what they do, it’s not just a job to them and they are helping people get better. Thank you for caring and helping me. So if you need help, here is where to be.”
