Everyone desires to be healthier, stronger and more active. However, you can often feel like it is difficult to attain these goals because of pain, injuries, or failed diets. Aches, pains, and injuries All of these contribute to an unhealthier you. Pain increases bad chemicals in the body and increases stress. This affects your endocrine system, which regulates the hormones in your body and controls almost everything. Most muscle and joint pains can easily be treated by our specialized physical therapists. Our experts have the right knowledge and the
time to listen, evaluate and guide you towards a pain-free, healthier lifestyle. Call us today to learn more and start a new chapter on a healthier you! What does it take to be healthier? Health is a relative term. It means that your body is operating at a high normal range in all the different systems from circulation, breathing, digestion, and more. It doesn’t mean you have to look like a supermodel. Anything you can do to help your body achieve more of an ideal state is a step towards a healthier you.

Tips To a Healthier, Stronger, More Active You
1. Take care of aches and pains. Don’t let these long-term problems linger. Get professional help at Lonoke Physical Therapy. 2. Limit your sitting. Get up every 30 minutes and walk around at work and home. 3. Get out and move. Exercise regularly. At least walk every day. 4. Nutrition and portion control. Keep your intake of food nutritious and at a comfortable level. Chew your food more thoroughly and you won’t feel like you have to eat so much.
5. Drink more water. Water keeps your body systems functioning at an optimum level. 6. Breathe! Work on your deep breathing to increase oxygen intake and get your lymphatic system moving. 7. Get enough sleep. Sleep at least 8 hours a day. It is best to get into a routine so you go to bed and wake up on a regular cycle. This helps your endocrine system.

Patient Spotlight
When Mr. Pete first started therapy he struggled just to get around. The pain in his feet and back caused him to have to slow down or completely stop doing the activities he loved to do. Since being in therapy he has been able to go hunting and hiking. He was even able to lift and carry his gear through the woods without aggravating his back. He is also able to walk longer distances without increasing his foot pain. Check out his improvement report below. “Pretreatment, my lower back pain started as soon as I got up. I began each day on a heating pad. The pain got worse when standing or walking. After three sessions of dry needling, I have been able to double the amount of time I can spend on my feet without back pain. It is not a painful procedure and provides almost instant relief. Dry needling on my feet is also showing some promise for my plantar fasciitis and neuropathy. The professionals at ProMotion are the best in the business.”

Outstanding RESULTS
“I think I had an out of body experience! I had a dry needling treatment on my right knee because of OA. After the treatment, I could bend my knee without pain or a crunching sound. Feel 100% better and can stand up straight. Almost a small miracle. Really hard to believe as soon as it was over, I feel so much better – thank you, Matt Jackson!!” - B.F.

T’was a Physical Therapy Christmas
Now I dodge smog, spaceships and missiles. And Doc, take a look at the size of this pack! Have you any idea what it does to my back? Poor Santa was miserable and just barely able, With the help of the Doctor, to get on the table. The Doctor was gentle; without a fuss or a tussle He examined the spine And relaxed every muscle. He spotted trouble and then with a stretch, Started getting the motion back into old St. Nick. Santa felt aches and pains slipping away And in no time at all he began to feel gay. The air was a tingle with new fallen snow And a healthy Kris Kringle was rarin’ to go. As he went out the door, he threw them a kiss; Why, it had been centuries Since he felt good as this!
T’was the day before Christmas, But there was no cheer.
DECEMBER BIRTHDAYS
No jingle bells jingled, no sound of reindeer. The word had gone out that Santa was sick. There would be no visit from jolly St. Nick. The people were sad; no gaiety sounded. For Christmas had come, But Santa was grounded. He drove down the road, And what should he see? But a sign for a doctor, who was a P.T. Now Santa had lost his dexterity, But all else had failed, so he tried Physical Therapy. He entered the office and saw at a glance, In a place such as this, illness hasn’t a chance. The office staffed smiled, the music was sappy, with all of the patients contented and happy. In a very short time, to judge by the clock, he was in the examination room, talking to Doc. It must be the hurry, the tension and all, I simply can’t seem to get on the ball. Life used to be easy; just kids, toys and whistles,

MATT
Then once more, he shouldered the bag full of toys, His heart overflowing with true Christmas joys.
