ENJOY THE SPRING SEASON PAIN FREE
Use Good Posture Our spine is designed to move, which means our posture should also move. The spine does not like to remain in one position for extended periods, but when you need to sit or stand for long periods, find a “good” posture. For example, imagine your breast bone is lifted towards the sky, causing your spine to straighten out — lifting you up — keeping your hips, spine, shoulders, and neck aligned. Learning to care for your spine will minimize the pain and dysfunction that comes from neglect.

HOW PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP Physical therapists are trained to evaluate muscle and joint movement, and they can quickly assist you in finding the root of your problem. Our physical therapists will thoroughly evaluate you, determine why you are experiencing pain, and treat all affected areas. After your initial consultation, we will create a specialized treatment plan based on your specific needs. At Choice Physical Therapy, our physical therapist’s end goal is the same as yours – to get you feeling better! WHAT TO EXPECT IN PHYSICAL THERAPY After performing a thorough assessment and treatment plan, our therapist will teach you strategies to avoid future problems by focusing on strategies for spine health. Limit Sitting For Too Long Prolonged sitting is not suitable for your back or your overall health. Although adjusting your posture while sitting can be helpful, a more practical option is to stand up periodically throughout the day. Limit your sitting to 30-45 minutes at a time. The results will be noticeable!
