Get to know Alex Booher! 👋 PT, DPT and owner of iMove Metro East IL. Today we're asking Alex all about his work, perspective, and personal life.
Q: If you could debunk one "myth" about PT, what would it be?
A: No pain no gain. While there are some instances where pushing through discomfort is necessary, in many cases it is our body's way of telling us something isn't quite right! A focused and attentive PT should be able to assist/adjust an exercise to achieve the goal without being overly painful.
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to your past self about taking care of your body, what would it be?
A: Do not underestimate the importance of drinking water. Many of us are under hydrated and it affects every system in our body! If I have a headache or don't feel great, I now try to drink a full glass of water and re-evaluate in 10-15 minutes to see how I feel. Many times I feel quite a bit better!
Q: What's your favorite vacation spot?
A: I'm a big fan of all inclusive resorts where I can relax and not have to worry about cooking or cleaning
Q: If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
A: Teleportation. No more paying for gas!
Q: What's your favorite lunch to eat on the go in between patients?
A: Definitely not a rice dish! Last time I packed that, I spilled it on the floor of my car and it was a nightmare cleaning up all the grains! Generally a sandwich is easy to eat and doesn't cause too much of a mess
