For many active people over 50, knee pain can slow you down.
In this monthâs newspaper article with The Reston Letter LLC, I explore non-invasive options like EPAT (shockwave therapy), MDT, strength training, and lifestyle changes that are becoming the first line of careâhelping people stay active without surgery.

Neck and shoulder discomfort doesnât always come from a single injuryâoften, it develops from everyday habits. Common causes include poor posture at your desk, looking down at your phone, stress-related tension, and even carrying heavy bags.
Over time, these habits create stiffness and strain that can impact your daily life. The encouraging news is that small changesâlike posture checks, mobility breaks, and simple strengtheningâcan make a big difference.
At Health Watchers, we help patients identify whatâs really behind their discomfort and create natural strategies for relief. Ready to uncover the root cause of your stiffness?

đ We love hearing from our patients, and this story truly highlights what we strive for at Health Watchers PT.
Many people come to us after trying different treatments for back, neck, or shoulder discomfortâfeeling stuck in a cycle without lasting results.
Through personalized care and focused guidance, we help uncover the real issues and build a plan for long-term relief, not just short-term fixes. Hearing that our patients feel real improvement and renewed confidence makes it all worthwhile.
Neck and shoulder discomfort doesnât have to be something you simply âlive with.â Often, itâs the result of small daily habitsâlike sitting for long periods, looking down at your phone, or carrying tension without realizing it.
Taking short breaks to stretch, practicing posture resets, and keeping screens at eye level can go a long way in easing strain. At Health Watchers, we help patients uncover the root of their discomfort and build natural, effective strategies to support long-term comfort.
If youâve been feeling stiff lately, book a free discovery visit today and letâs explore lasting solutions together.
Did you know that poor posture can add extra stress equal to carrying a 10â12 lb weight on your neck and shoulders? Thatâs like wearing a heavy bag all day without realizing it!
Over time, this can lead to stiffness, tension, and discomfort that interrupts your daily routine. The good news? Small changes - like posture checks, regular breaks, and gentle strengthening - can make a big difference in how your body feels.
At Health Watchers, we specialize in helping patients create habits that support long-term mobility and ease.

Have you heard the term Tech Neck? It describes the strain caused by spending too much time looking down at phones, tablets, or computers.
This forward head posture puts extra weight on the neck and shoulders, often leading to discomfort, stiffness, or even headaches. The good news is there are simple steps you can takeâlike raising screens to eye level, taking breaks to stretch, and checking your posture regularly.
At Health Watchers, we guide patients through safe, effective strategies to reduce strain and improve long-term comfort.
