Nestor PT: Staying Active and Becoming Better Balanced

Patient Success Spotlights

“I am very pleased with the professional service...”

“I came in after a concussion with migraines & severe balance issues. I started physical therapy here and I have since regained my life! I couldn’t take care of myself & needed assistance. I was afraid to do every day activities that even caused my daughter to suffer. But after therapy I can drive again and take care of myself. I can do things that I couldn’t do before my injury! Thank you all!” - Jacqlyn Andolfo “I can do things that I couldn’t do before my injury...”

“I came to Nestor PT with severe dizziness. I was out of balance, could not turn over in bed without being very dizzy. It made my life miserable - not looking forward to going to bed because you are afraid of being dizzy makes life very depressing. After many sessions with Nestor, I have finally reached a level of stability, and through follow-up exercises, I can manage my symptoms. I am very pleased with the professional service as well as the caring environment that is given by Dr. Nestor and is staff. I would recommend his services to anyone who needs competent & courteous services - it has been a good experience.” - Terrie Nolan

Exercise & Pain Relief

If you have back or joint pain, there are probably some times when all you want to do is lie in bed all day. It’s tempting, but it might make the problem worse. Doctors used to prescribe bed rest for back pain and other chronic pain conditions, but studies have found that people who exercise and stay flexible manage their pain much better than those who don’t. If you do have a chronic pain condition like back pain or hip, knee, or shoulder problems, you shouldn’t begin an exercise program without guidance. Check with your physical therapist first. They have the expertise to help you develop an individualized exercise program. Have a professional; a physical therapist show you what is appropriate to do given your condition. Here are 7 exercises/activities you should do to alleviate pain: 1 . Walking 2. Swimming 3. Yoga 4. Tai Chi 5. Pilates 6. Stretching 7. Aerobics
