“I think if people understood more that the way they move might be setting them up for a problem down the line, they’d be much more inclined to see a physical therapist,” Earhart said. 

厄哈特说：“我认为，如果人们更多地理解他们的行动方式可能是为了解决问题的问题，那么他们会更倾向于去看物理治疗师。

”We are all built differently. So, it might be useful to examine children early to see what sports or activities might be good for them. Physical therapists can carry out such early exams.

我们的建造方式都不同。 因此，早日检查儿童可能对他们有好处可能会很有用。 物理治疗师可以进行此类早期考试。

Earhart said, “If we screened kids as they were choosing sports and said this sport is probably not the right kind of stress for the way you are put together, it could save a lot pain and problems down the line.” She added about children, “Maybe they don’t have the hips for ballet.” 

Earhart说：“如果我们在选择运动时放映孩子，并且说这项运动可能不是您组合方式的正确压力，那么它可以节省很多痛苦和问题。” 她补充说：“也许他们没有芭蕾舞的臀部。

”Distance runners could also think this way. Some are built to avoid injuries despite running many kilometers while others are not. Exams by physical therapists could help identify future problems. 

远程跑步者也可以这样思考。 尽管跑了很多公里，但有些人的建造是为了避免受伤，而另一些则没有受伤。 物理治疗师的考试可以帮助确定未来的问题。

Another area where physical therapists can help is with fall prevention. Falling – and the fear of falling – can be major issues, especially for the aging population. 

物理治疗师可以提供帮助的另一个领域是预防秋季。 跌倒 - 对跌倒的恐惧可能是主要问题，尤其是对于老龄化人口而言。 

“You want to show people they can get back up if they fall,” Herr said. “And once they know they can do it, it gives them confidence and it can help reduce the fear of falling." 

赫尔说：“您想向人们展示，如果他们跌倒，他们可以恢复。” “一旦他们知道自己可以做到，它就会给予他们信心，并可以帮助减少对跌倒的恐惧。” 

He added, “One of the risks of falling is that people don’t do anything, so you don’t move and therefore you become more out of shape...” 

他补充说：“跌倒的风险之一是人们什么都不做，所以您不动，因此您变得更加不适……” 

Herr said one example could be to introduce exercises involving “floor to stand” movements. These can help improve flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, and planning. 

Herr 说，一个例子可能是引入涉及“地板到站立”运动的练习。这些可以帮助提高灵活性、力量、平衡、协调性和计划。 

“It sounds simple getting up from a lying position on the floor to stand,” Herr said. “But it’s a great exercise for all age groups.” 

赫尔说：“听起来很简单，从地板上的一个躺着的位置站起来。” “但是对于所有年龄段来说，这都是一个很好的练习。” 

Earhart estimated about half of physical therapy patients seek help to deal with issues related to being overweight. “The more weight somebody is carrying the higher the loads are on their joints,” she said. 

Earhart估计有大约一半的物理疗法患者寻求帮助处理与超重有关的问题。 她说：“有人承受的重量越多，关节的负载就越高。” 

Herr said he had watched extremely overweight patients successfully lose large amounts of weight. He noted that some of these individuals are motivated for a specific reason. But for others, it is not always that clear and easy. 

赫尔说，他已经看到极端超重的患者成功减轻了大量体重。 他指出，其中一些人是出于特定原因而有动力。 但是对于其他人来说，并不总是那么清晰。 

“I have seen people change based on a milestone, like having a kid and they really want to be a good parent,” Herr said. “They want to be a fit parent, and the same thing with a grandparent. So that motivates people to engage because of a lifestyle change.” 

赫尔说：“我已经看到人们基于一个里程碑，例如生孩子，他们真的想成为一个好父母。” “他们想成为一个合适的父母，而祖父母也是如此。 因此，这激励人们由于生活方式的改变而参与。”
