How Physical Therapy Can Help
Staff Spotlight Alma Flores | Patient Care Coordinator
Neck pain, fortunately, can be alleviated with physical therapy. Because neck pain is often caused by activity, different activity can cure it. Sometimes, this “activity” means “no activity.” Before you contact a professional, try reducing your neck movements. Sometimes, simply letting your neck muscles relax is enough. If you don’t see relief within two weeks, contact a professional. Physical therapists can target your pain’s source by examining your symptoms. Then, they can offer exercises that stretch, flex and relax your neck muscles. In time, your neck will become more resilient —giving you the comfort you de-serve. Where aftercare treatment is considered, custom-tailored neck exercises will assure your neck stays loose, limber and healthy. If you’re dealing with neck pain, you’re not alone. Call our office today, and schedule an assessment. Even if your neck pain is caused by stress, it still needs attention. We’ll work side by side with your goals, creating the proactive, effective programs you need to achieve mobility once more.

• 2 oz fresh salted mozzarella • 2 plum tomatoes • 1/4 cup fresh basil
“When I came to MDM, I couldn’t move my neck to the left. When driving, I had to turn my upper body to check my mirror. I was not able to sleep on my side and was having pain in my left shoulder. After just one session with Beth, I was able to sleep on my side. After 4 sessions with her, my neck was aligned and it stayed that way. I haven’t felt this good in years. Everyone here was great to work with!” - Mary Beth J. Success Spotlight
Set grill to medium. Lay the chicken breasts flat and cut horizontally with knife parallel to cutting board to form 4 thinner cutlets. Brush chicken with the olive oil and season all over with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill and cook 4 min. per side. Meanwhile, very thinly slice the mozzarella. Thinly slice the tomatoes. Thinly slice the basil. Arrange tomato slices on chicken. Top with mozzarella. Cover and cook another 2–3 min., until cheese melts and chicken is cooked through. To serve, season with pepper and garnish with basil.
