No Pain, All Gain: Achieve Your Physical Therapy Goals
Effective physical therapy should do more than treat your pain. In fact, it can do wonders for your body when done properly—including improving your range of motion and increasing flexibility for example. In fact, a well-thought-out, well-rounded physical therapy strategy can make all the difference in your journey to healing and can help you exceed—not just achieve—all your goals. You can learn how to push past your limits and tap into strength you never knew you had. Through caring hands and hearts, patients like Angela have achieved their dreams thanks to physical therapy, and you can too!
Meet Angela, Who Achieved Her PT Goals at ALIB
Angela came to ALIB due to debilitating hip and lower back pain. Working with Dr. Paula, she discovered that other muscle groups were also weakened due to overcompensating for the injured areas. "The specialized attention I received at ALIB not only addressed the painful, overworked parts of my body, but also taught me so much about the interdependency of all the body parts," Angela said.
Regaining Your Freedom: A Climb to the Top
The unique approach taken at ALIB pushes the boundaries of physical therapy by introducing innovative techniques. Yoga, massage therapy, and a holistic approach all contribute to each patient's wellness journey. For Angela, the results were rapid and tangible.
With her former injuries, she was unable to participate in some activities for fear of severe back and hip pain. However, she recently took a trip to Australia and New Zealand, and the itinerary included climbing Baldwin Street in Dunedin, NZ, the steepest residential street in the world.
"A few of us on the tour got up the steep hill without much trouble at all. Luckily there are steps part of the way in place of a sidewalk as the roadway was very slippery that day due to a recent rain. At the top, we celebrated with high-fives, a bunch of silly, touristy photos, and were rewarded with beautiful views of the mountainsides," Angela recalled.
When we heard about her trip, our team couldn't help celebrating right along with Angela and we knew we had to share her story.
