If physical therapy is making your pain worse, you're with the wrong PT...
It shouldn't be causing more pain, it should be healing it.

What I've experienced working in the insurance setting, was that patient programs were never customized. We were overworking physical therapists who had no time to truly find your cause of pain.

That's why I opened my clinic in Putnam, CT to finally change the way physical therapy is done.

Instead of making your pain worse, we work to find the real cause and fix it. Your current PT might not know that your shoulder pain is actually coming from your neck.

It's time to get you back to taking the stairs without that sharp pain together. If you're in Connecticut or Massachusetts, DM us or comment "PAIN" to book your free evaluation with us.

Now? She's skating with more power than ever. Her coach literally said she's the most powerful she's been.

That is what happens when you start fixing the actual problem, not the surface level symptoms.

High achievers don't settle for managing through their pain. Instead, they find someone who knows how to prevent it and make them stronger.

Your pain isn't the end of your journey. It's just the beginning of your comeback.

All the doctors out there are cringing, but icing your injury isn't helping you heal faster.

It actually just masks the pain and slows down your body's recovery. The worst part is it keeps you stuck in the same cycle of training and injuring yourself.

Finding the real cause of pain is the difference between feeling better for a day vs. getting back to training without pain for good.

If you're in CT or MA and ready to figure out what's actually wrong, DM us "RECOVERY" and let's get you back.

"But these aren't the typical back exercises" and you could be right.

As a physical therapist, I look for the REAL reason your back is hurting. Two exercises target your legs and core, because when you're shoveling or lifting heavy, your back takes the load from weak legs and core.

Safe to say, we make the other muscles stronger so your back doesn't have to do all the work.

Obviously your back won't be magically fixed with only these exercises. But if you're not ready to invest in full personalized physical therapy yet, these are my recommendations.

Now for those of you suffering from back pain, I have a surprise coming soon. Comment "BACK" to be the first to know about something that'll help you.

If you're ready to get to the real cause of your back pain, DM us and let's get you into our Connecticut clinic.

Connecticut winter activities ranked by how much they'll wreck your back:

1. Shoveling the driveway (again)
2. Slipping on ice in the Stop & Shop parking lot
3. Scraping your windshield like you're mining for gold
4. Carrying 47 grocery bags because you're NOT making two trips in this cold

But hey, at least shoveling counts as a workout... right? Who else is dealing with winter back pain right now?
