BECOME HEALTHIER, STRONGER & MORE ACTIVE

FREE PAIN CONSULTATION

It is a common aspiration to become healthier, stronger, or more active. However, this can sometimes be a difficult feat, with lack of time, pain, injuries, or difficulty sticking to a nutritious diet. When you are in pain, undesirable chemicals within your body are heightened, which can increase stress. As a result, your endocrine system becomes affected, which works to regulate the hormones in your body. Fortunately, the vast majority of aches and pains can be successfully treated by a licensed physical therapist. At Quality Performance Rehabilitation, our team is comprised of movement experts who have the knowledge and training to diagnose, evaluate, and treat any musculoskeletal condition that comes their way. To find out more about how our services can help you live a healthier, stronger, and more active life, contact our office today! Your health and you: The term “health” is all relative. It essentially means that your body is operating at its highest levels of function in regards to breathing, circulation, digestion, and more. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to be the most athletic person in the room. Any step you make toward helping your body function at its optimum levels is a step toward becoming a healthier you. Your physical therapist can provide you with exercises, stretches, and nutritional tips that can help increase your health and help you feel physically better overall.

Increasing your strength and flexibility: It is no secret that strength and flexibility both play important roles in your health. Did you know that there are approximately 642 skeletal muscles in the human body? Your muscles work hard, not only to help you move, but also to support your circulatory and breathing systems. When you become stronger and more flexible, you become healthier overall. Our physical therapists can guide you through proper exercises and specialized treatments in order to relieve your joint and muscle pain, increase your strength and flexibility, and improve your overall health.

7 TIPS YOU CAN DO ON YOUR OWN Physical therapy treatments can help improve your health, but they only work if you apply healthy lifestyle choices in your everyday life, as well. Some tips you can do on your own to become healthier, stronger, and more active include: 1. Taking care of aches and pains. Don’t let these long-term problems linger. Contact Quality Performance Rehabilitation for professional help. 2. Limiting your sitting. Get up every 30 minutes to walk around at work and home. 3. Getting out and moving. Exercise regularly, even if it’s just taking a short walk every day. 4. Maintaining a nutritious diet and controlling portion. Make sure your food intake is nutritious and portioned. By chewing your food thoroughly, you won’t feel as if you have to eat as much. 5. Drinking more water. Water keeps your body systems functioning at an optimum level. 6. Breathing! Work on your deep breathing in order to increase your oxygen intake and get your lymphatic system moving. 7. Getting enough sleep. Sleep at least 8 hours a day. It is best to get into a routine where you are going to bed and waking up on a regular cycle. This helps your endocrine system.

“He is back to work with no limitations!” “My first experience at the Goldtree clinic was a couple of years ago when my husband Dave attended, due to throat cancer. He had such limited neck movement, but when he did the therapy, it not only brought back such a range of motion that it was almost unbelievable, it also restored his quality of life. He is back to work with no limitations. Fast forward a couple of years and now here I am attending the same facility at Goldtree for my shoulder. I chose to return because the staff is stellar, professional, detailed, kind and enjoyable to be around. I walked into the facility with difficulty even using my arm due to my shoulder restrictions and the pain that I was enduring. Normal activities were a stretch. I chose to set a goal before I went in. To work hard on the plan that they set up for me and use the tools not only in the facility but at home as well. I am back to normal activities like sweeping floors and going to the market, along with working in my yard. I am not 100% yet because I am still in therapy. Activities take me a little extra time, but I have no doubt I will get there thanks to the help of QPR Goldtree Team! - Doreen D. FREE SHOULDER PAIN WORKSHOPS
