Posture can be influenced by many things but it is ultimately under your control.

In a dynamic situation, it determines the strength of our muscles and the freedom of our joints to move.

Long term postural adaptations and compensations are a major cause of musculoskeletal problems. Postural faults can cause boney changes in our spine and peripheral joints. Postural habits create soft tissue tightness and associated stretch-weakness of muscles.

In addition, long term adaptation of the muscles and supporting soft tissues can be a significant barrier to recovery from injury or surgery.

Let us help you discover the 3 Things that you can do to make a tremendous and positive change!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You will be taken back to a room. You can change into other clothing if necessary.
    3. The therapist will guide you in the treatment session as they deem appropriate after having a conversation about your current situation.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.
  • You will be with your therapist one on one for approximately 30 minutes. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your physical therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 20 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

     

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist will take the time to get to know you and what is important to you. They will ask about the limitations you have and talk about your goals.
