Welcome to the June newsletter from Physical Therapy Advantage.
Your Weekly Cup of Joe
Introducing our latest educational endeavor here at Physical Therapy Advantage! “Your Weekly Cup of Joe” - This videocast will focus on answering health, wellness, and of course PT related questions submitted by you (current and former clients, friends and family, neighbors, acquaintances, referral partners, & the general public) in a brief 3 minute video. The overall emphasis of the videocast will be on gratitude, perspective and a positive mindset. All of the videocasts will be stored on our website under the Blog tab on top of the page.
To get this videocast jump started, please send that one “burning” health, wellness, or PT question that you would like answered via email to j.king@ptadvantagepc.com. I hope all of you will enjoy this new, different and “way out of my comfort zone” attempt to keep providing outstanding educational content and care to the community we live in and serve on a daily basis! This is our Mission at PTA. If you would like to receive notice of “Your Weekly Cup of Joe” every Wednesday morning, just go to our Facebook page and Like and Follow us OR Follow us on Twitter or Instagram. Positive People….Positive Results.
In the event of COVID, many people are home and finding extra time to try new activities. For instance, some people are trying online video work outs or started jogging. People have also been working from home, working in spaces not ergonomically designed for long hours at a computer. These new activities are putting new stresses on our bodies and could be causing new pain or an exacerbation of an old injury. If you are feeling pain with your new actvities, don't wait for it to get worse. Come in to the clinic for a PT to evaluate your pain so you can get back to being yourself! Call the clinic to set up an appointment.

Back pain can make it hard to move around and may lead to inactivity if it is not properly addressed. It is important to resist the urge to sit or rest in bed for prolonged periods as this can worsen back pain.
Remaining active is an essential part of pain management, but care must be taken to move around safely in order to avoid re-injury.
