๐’๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐œ: Define what you want to achieve. Instead of saying, "I want to run more next year," aim for a specific milestone, like a 5K.

Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on empty? You're not alone. A staggering 44% of professionals report experiencing chronic workplace stress that pushes them to the brink of burnout.

Burnout happens when prolonged emotional, physical, and mental stress builds up, leaving you feeling drained and unable to function as usual. Symptoms can range from chronic fatigue and irritability to heart palpitations, anxiety, and reduced work performance.

Physical therapy can be an effective treatment method for managing the physical effects of burnout. From relieving aches and pains to channeling nervous energy into productive activities, we provide hands-on care and customized exercises to help you feel better.

Request an appointment at a clinic near you to see how physical therapy can help you with burnout and stress. https://bit.ly/3COyx0n
