I 100% believe that one should continue to exercise throughout the process of healing.

Being AWARE of movement/exercise responses will set you up for success to know what to avoid temporarily [at the beginning] that seemed to have set off the pain/discomfort in the first place.

As symptoms continue to become better —> then you start to be more & more active by tracking your response to returning to specific movements/exercises.

90-95% of most lower back "issues" are musculoskeletal (i.e. muscles/tendons/ligaments/bone) in nature.

Therefore, immediate access to PT is key to prevent further worsening of symptoms experienced.

Thus by having this direct access to a PT, we can quickly determine if this bout of lower back pain can be managed through PT or not.

Unfortunately, there are many healthcare professionals out there who are providing “false hope” for their patients, thus placing an adamant amount of fear-avoidance on function.

Your picture of your neck [back/shoulder/hip/etc.] DOES NOT 100% dictate your ability to perform basic, human movements or activities of daily living…yet alone exercising for health & wellness.

A great healthcare clinician must fully assess their patient & apply an intervention that is deemed appropriate in order to improve the symptoms the patient is experiencing.

PT is direct care —> seek & you shall receive!

Well, the future came faster than we thought once COVID-19 hit us smack in the face in 2020.

Remote wellness training & virtual physical therapy has been a life saver for my clinic in 2020 as well as helped me shape how I can create independence with my clients/athletes on their road to a better health & wellness lifestyle.

Time under tension (TUT), or tempo, is your $$ to help teach your body how to move correctly …especially when you’re in pain or digging yourself out of the pain hole.

Adding purposeful control points will only help your muscles, tendons, ligaments & joints understand what the purpose of TUT/tempo work does for you in the long run.

TUT/tempo work gives you the best of all worlds: eccentric - isometric - concentric contractions within one movement!

An increase in time at the desk job was not what the doctor ordered…& now you want to hit the gym full throttle!

Well, 100% is not the smart way to make your move.

Rather a 50-70% range effort is…& your joints & muscles will love you for it!

The poison is in the dosage!

Typically, pain doesn’t show up immediately….it tends builds over time based on the stresses you apply to that area.

Then the “fire” really sets in…that’s when patients reach out to a physical therapist as a last resort because ignoring the issue in the first place [or asking Dr. Google] wasn’t fixing their issue!

Well…time to be Superman the right way —> know your dosage & response to that dosage

The power is in the patient!

Enhancing the patient experience & helping them create better self-awareness is key to successful longevity in the health & wellness world.

Fortress PT aims to create “thinking athletes/patients” in order for them to understand that quality of movement is greater than quantity of movement when getting out of pain & back into the fitness for life world.

Time to do a gut check & get some help for the long run of achieving realistic health & wellness goals by reaching out to your physical therapist now...not later!

Did you know that either account utilized can be put forth for healthcare expenses?

And…physical therapy is one of those expenses that can be paid for by an HSA/FSA!

HSA = Health Savings Account

FSA = Flexible Spending Account

You get what you pay for!

Today, I want to help you understand why you should seek out a “fee-for-service” physical therapy clinic that will meet your valued expectations.

Being a “cash-based” clinic prevents insurances dictating how many visits patients can get for PT services.

Cash-based/fee-for-service physical therapy clinics = NO CAPPING OF THERAPY VISITS
